Six new variegated embroidery thread added to the shop!! They are beautiful hand overdyed stranded cotton embroidery thread from Threadworx. One skein has approx 20 yards of thread..
If you are very new to embroidery and still thinking where to start, the ‘Enjoy’ kit might be the best option for you. This kit will make you comfortable around handling the hoop and stitching your first piece. You can choose from 5 different variegated thread colour options and create something beautiful
Juicy poinsettias… forbidden grapes… forbidden honey… forbidden cheeto dust… smh.
The seeds on my salmon poinsettia were falling off, so I picked the loose ones before they get my window sill all sticky. Apparently once they are all brown and dried out, the seeds inside these seed pods will be ready for planting. I have no idea what they will look like inside there lol, but I’m excited nonetheless. The smell of this poinsettia is something like the smell of dark chocolate, so it was very tempting to lick the pollen and juice off my fingers. (But I didn’t!)
Also it looks like my red poinsettia is making a new bloom!! So late in the season!! Idk what to do! I was going to repot them into their larger pots, but if it’s about to flower maybe I should wait it out… my room never has seasons anyway, I always keep it as warm as I can, so I’m wondering if this will mess with the poinsettias’ annual cycles… They require pure darkness in the evening in fall, but if the temperature is wrong, idk if I will get them to bloom again properly… (I was kinda using them as a test run for when I plant another green plant that requires special dark hours as well but maybe I’m better off planting those ones outside.)
Anyway, once the pink one is done with growing the last seed pods, I will repot that one, and probably the red one at the same time. I have the pots and plant stands all ready for ‘em, I’m just impatiently waiting for the seeds. (And also hoping I can get some of the seeds to acclimate to our outdoors weather!)

How are YOUR poinsettias holding up?

Baby’s first African Violet!!
I’ve never seen a variegated one before, so when I saw this in the grocery store, I had to get it. Finally just repotted it into its permanent hone - it’s a special pot designed for African Violets. There are 2 pots, the round one homds water, and the wavy one holds the flower. The wavy one is unglazed on the inside, so it will wick moisture into the soul without water ever touching the hydro-phobic plant. ((How do they ever grow in the wild if water on their leaves kills them?!?!?! I’m too scared to test it out on my first baby.))
The soil is leftover monstera mix I made, and then some good water control Miracle-gro soil. I left the root ball mostly in place - usually I tear up all the old soil, but I’m trying to be so careful with this. I always remember being told as a kid that these will die if you touch them (same with orchids - it was actually just my family trying to keep my kid-hands off the plants lol! Turns out orchids are super hardy to the touch, and these can handle a touch as well.) The leaves are sooo fuzzy!

Trailing Tuesday feat. My Tradescantia Fluminensis Variegata
Tradescantias kind of drive me crazy but I keep collecting them so that’s cool I guess.
These are my March socks! I was a tad late in finishing them, though not much, as I finished them on April 3rd. I named these my Halifax Socks, since I bought the yarn in a Halifax farmer’s market before I moved, and I started knitting them on my recent flight to Halifax. It was a toss up between that and “mermaid socks,” since the colour variation reminds me of a mermaid’s scales. So pretty!
I LOVE this yarn! The colours are beautiful, and it felt so nice on my hands while knitting with it. The yarn is Fleece Artist, Blue Face Leicester Socks, and I used about 60g. I didn’t use a pattern, since I wanted the colour variation to really pop - I think it made for a wonderful pair of socks!

A very interesting little succulent at the Berkshire Botanical Garden. I think it is an Agave desmettiana. I haven’t seen a lime green Agave before. Its black points are so contrasty!

Come closer my pretty
In my garden
12/7/16:Tradescantia variegata; beautiful variety of “creeping” plant and thus is a very common for decorative ground cover. It can produce roots at any of its nodes, and requires moderate light, soil and water (well-draining soil, allowing soil to dry out before watering, etc).
