I am all into cross stitch again! I have been looking at new, funky patterns and designing my own...I want to do different sort of projects and make a whole heap of presents for family and friends for Christmas. I did the snail teatowel as a 'quickie' thank you present for my sister (only a few hours!) but the stuff I am thinking about is quite involved so will take me ages.
Wish me luck!

My vegie garden
My garden is coming along really well. It's all growing quite well...at the moment I have the following growing, all in pots:
- Broad Beans (x4)
- Cabbages
- Tomatoes (Black Russian, Tommy Toe Sweeties, Beefsteak)
- Bok Choy
- Carrots
- Basil
- Beetroot
- Lettuce
- Silverbeet
- Passionfruit
- Chives
- Potatoes (4 different 'mystery' varieties) - these are in hessian bags
- Cucumbers
- Rescued lime tree, starting to look more like a tree than a stick now :D
They are mostly all at the seedling stage now, but I am ever hopeful I will have sucessful crops. Most have been planted 4-6 weeks ago. If they do all survive, we will be well on the way towards a more self sufficient lifestyle.
Hmmm I think that's it, will post pictures soon!
