I aftes gik jeg en tur i haven og så at der var friske jordbær. Så fandt jeg også nogle moskus-katostblomster, som jeg plukkede.
Jordbærrene blev bare spist - to til hver, tror jeg. men moskus-katostblomsterne blev hakket i min mini-hakker og lavede det skønneste blå salt.
A late walk in the garden resulted in a small harvest of strawberries, which we shared, and some flowers from musk-mallows. They were chopped with salt for blue spicey salt.
Jeg svaede også et par grene af sveskeblommetræet så vi kunne komme til at plukke blommerne. Det er dem, og ikke kastanier der ligger til tørre her, selvom det ligner.
Vi kommer til at lege med kastanier senere på ugen.
We also picked a lot of prunes, they're drying here. It's not chestnuts, even though they look like it. We'll play with chestnuts later this week.

PlantePrint -- EcoPrint
Det lader til at min blog er ligesom mit liv, fyldt med begyndelser, og næste trin med, men meget sjældent afslutninger. Både den gule temari og vandmelongarnet må hvile, for Uglemor har fået en ny idé. Ecoprinting. Først - for et års tid siden - gik det ud over noget bomuldsstof. Det gik naturligvis ikke godt, for bomuld er ikke sådan at plantefarve.
This blog is like my life. Filled with beginnings, but not so heavy on finished project. Now the yellow temari and the watermelon yarn is taking a break.. MotherOwl found a new tecnique. Eco-printing. Actually the first test runs hail from last year, but they were made with cotton cloth, and cotton and plant dyes are not that great partners. ... The result were somewhat lacking in permanency-
Nu blomstrer stokroserne så igen, og Uglemor fandt et gammelt, slidt tæppe med hul i. Det førte til en idé. Klip tæppet i bidder, uden om hullerne og se sorte striber, naturligvis. Farv resten af ternene med ecoprint-teknik, og sy dem sammen igen til et nyt, spændende tæppe.
Now the hollyhocks are once more flowering, and MotherOwl found an old woollen blanket. Somebody made holes in it. Maybe moths, maybe Owlets. But anyway ... it was cut in squares. The holes and the blacks stripes were cut off, and the remaining squares mordanted with the ubiquitous alum and eco-print-dyed
Og sådan nåede jeg enden af endnu et uafsluttet indlæg.
Since then many of the squares hvae been overdyed, some more than once. MotherOwl has been experimenting. and eco printing on and off for a month now. Next step is the mixing and sewing together of the squares.
And thus we reach the end of yet another blogpost without conclusion.

Masser af blomster og lidt friskreven valnøddeskal. Lots of petals and some walnut husks freshly grated |
Flere blomsterblade og grønt - More petals and greenery. |
Dampning i saftgryden -- steaming in the juicer |

Midt i al hyggen og håndarbjedet, hjemmeskolen og hjemmebaget skal vi ikke glemme, at der er en verden rundt om os.

Servicemeddelelse -- Service Announcement.
Det nytter nogen gange at brokke sig,. efter at denne meddelelse havde stået ca. 2 minutter, virkede det hele igen. Jeg lader nu farverne være i nogen tid. Det er helt praktisk.
Well sometimes grumbling helps. This announcement was posted for like 5 minutes, and then everything was back to normal again. I'm leaving the colour change for a time anyhow.

TUSAL - 9
Denne gang viser jeg, hvad stumperne bliver til. Det der med at tage et billede af den fyldte bøtte inden jeg tømte den, det glemte jeg nemlig.
This month's TUSAl will not show my ORTs, but what they're turned into. I was caught up in the idea, and forgot to snap many photos, the few I have, got to suffice.
Alle rester og stumper var nemlig endelig mange nok til at blive en ny temari. Frem med det røde akrylgarn og vikle, vikle vikle ...
All the bits and pieces were finally enough for a new temari. I found my acrylic yarns.Grabbed the red one and the ORTS and wound, and wound, and wound ...
Rødt akrylgarn efterfulgt af pink lidt tyndere, efterfulgt af sort tyndt og endelig gul sytråd. De næste skridt vil være opmærkning, markering og brodering.
Red acrylic followed by a thinner pink, an even thinner black, and finally yellow sewing thread. This was the result. Now for measuring, marking, and embroidering.
Det ender med et enkelt, geometrisk mønster i mørkegrønt. Inspirationen kommer fra Spirillens dynebetræk.
It is going to be a strict, geometric pattern in dark green, inspired by Marsupilamis duvet covers.
