a fiber garden gets planted ...

well another assignment for our fiber arts class ...

actually this is a biggie ...

our pièce de résistance ...

the one that will get hung in the gallery for our exhibition ...

i am bringing together all that i love ...

i love wool,

i love knitting and crochet,

 i love knitting and crocheting flowers,

 i love old buttons and old lace,

my heart skips a beat when i find an old doilie at value village or an antique shop, and

i love to garden ...

so i got out my tools ...

i worked the "soil" and prepared the "beds" ...

i have been knitting and crocheting flowers in neutral tones for weeks ...

i knit some twisty bits ...

and i planted the first flower ...

it's not finished yet but i'll let you know when the garden is in full bloom ...

aided by the sunshine, i've been busy as a beaver in the greenhouse today ...
