morning ladies   It's a little overcast, maybe we'll have rain today.

Congratulations Mica, on the impending grandie   Being a grandparent is t he best!

Lilith, it sure is a good feeling when you 'get the job done' and I must confess, I also have those virtuous feelings lol. 

I didn't know that trick of adding tea leaves to potting mix, I do put them in the compost though along with the coffee grinds.  I've given up on tea bags, especially for Earl Grey as there isn't enough tea in the bag now.  So it's loose tea for us and a much m ore satisfying cuppa.

Rosemary plants are pretty tough.  A couple of years ago I dug ours out and moved it but couldn't dig the new hole deep enough thanks to tree roots.  Cut the rosemary's roots back (had cut the branches back hard), popped it into the ground, covered it the best I could, gave it a drink and left it.  It's growing bigger and better than ever lol.

I haven't heard from Sunflowers either, Jan and hope she is OK.  I wonder if your son's Ukrainian baker has been asked to fight?  And I would imagine it would be very difficult to stay in touch with friends and family here. 

I'm starting at the bottom of my falcon as the chest feathers all overlap.  At the moment I am still working on the log he is sitting on and will then work my way up his foot and leg.  I have to look carefully at the photo not just for colours but also to see which part would be 'background' as I embroider from the back to the front. MrK has offered to make me a stand for my frame.  I could buy one but why bother when I can have one custom made?  It would be easier with a stand I think.

The Furry One was out chasing a possum up the tree in the wee hours this morning.  The apple tree across the road is just too tempting for possums and our property is a short cut to the tree.  Hopefully I'll have another possum to bury under the roses soon.

Happy crafting
