This beautiful briar rose opened this morning.
The other small tree
Not everyone knows,
With her blossoms spread flat -
... Guelder Rose
CMB
And ahem, this is the less known Teasle.
Appears to have popped up in the window box!

Bad egg !
Wednesday, May 6, 2009, 04:19 PM EST [General]
I have been quite busy doing stuff, nothing very interesting. A little bit of crafting, some sewing and lots of boring everyday drudgery. Hmmm..... well this morning I was enjoying a well earned cup of Nescafe Mocha and a finger of Twix when my nose detected a very bad smell. I checked the cats (it has been known) - nothing. I even peered down the drain, then I noticed some tiny black footprints going into the house. PIP ! I found him sitting on the corner of the rug yawning and looking extremely dirty. It turns out he'd been on the Nidlongdir Dragon Quest on his own ! He says he was exploring the caves of Dragonia and found a dragon egg (that explains the smell I suppose) What next ! He even has a medal to prove it -
A good wash in some fresh rainwater and a good going over with a baby wipe had him clean in no time. Dragons indeed !

Luna is just under 15cm tall, she's a dollzone BB doll. I bought 2 SD dolls from them and I got 2 mini BB dolls included (as I spent so much money with them, eeeek!)They're not for me to keep sadly :o( I want some dolls for myself but as they're so expensive my other half says I have to make and sell a few to save up the money to buy some for myself, so he lent me the money for the first ones. I've finished Luna and made a corset and skirt for my 60cm female, now I'm starting on the clothes for the 70cm male, then I'm blushing and painting them both. I LOVE doing the blushing and painting! alexandra |

Carolyn, tks. for the details - I can see now that the appearance of the file name that I browse for is not happening for some reason. I wonder if I do a restart of my computer if it will help? Sometimes I do that when all else fails. I'm going to try a restart. |
