brutally hot

it was brutally hot, seriously, 34 people died in northern spain,we're not used to hot weather and even the nights were hot which is not usual. yet we are suffering from something negationists say it's not real but a political agenda.

i spent the days watching j doramas lying on the sofa and sipping matcha fizzes .getting dizzy every time i stood up. the absolute pits.

now that we got back to blissful 16ºc. started  knitting again. this is the flared back created following my bestie's instructions.looks good but i'll only know after i assemble the top and discover that it's just another ill fitting number (≧∇≦). not happy enough i am attempting a color block top.the world belongs to the daring.(˚▽˚)

 8/1 tow linen is not the easiest to work with,sheds like crazy. my other machine's carriage took its toll and won't knit from right to left.let's see if i can solve the issue bcse sending it to the uk is out of the question. rant alert.

 shipping is absurd, but i can deal with that. what i won't deal with is getting fried with taxes bcse they chose to leave the union.sorry. end of rant.

putting order into chaos

all the monoprint production of last year is going to be bound into a booklet instead of laying around. also using all the fabrics printed last year.not to mention the suminagashi papers .

yesterday i was reveling in the fact that all the supplies and tools i've accumulated over the years are being put into use,  don't need to buy anything..however i would need to extend my life span to be able to use them all.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

bolting

i've let the ruccula bolt, i'll have seeds for the fall crop.and most important ,flowers attract hovering wasps which feed on aphids and other bad creatures.beans at the back are pushing up lots of little flowers.that's my cultivation table, one can do wonders in that space if managed appropriately.

i am gifting lettuce this week as the lettuce bed is overflowing. the table is half as big as this one.

for the fist time i am getting heucheras flower spikes.thrilled with my berry smoothie plant.the weeping apricot is growing nicely, watching over it like a possessed gardener,if something happens to it i won't recover. >

the irises my brother in law brought me from their garden in florida are prolific this year.
