Marble Queen - Epipremnum

I don't have a 'green' thumb.

I've had plants in my kitchen 30+ years.

About every 15 years I need to put in new ones.

The last batch, didn't last very long.

Back to the nursery for a new plant - 

Epipremnum - Marble Queen.

Trash Trekkers

 Earlier today, DH and I volunteered for the Indiana Trash Trekkers.   When we went to the Visitor's Center, it was suggested we go to the Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk for litter.   link here.We were given gloves and a heavy bag for the trash!

I'd never been to this location.   It was overcast and we easily filled our bag with litter.

More about the program.

After our clean - up, we took a walk /loop.

Cord Making

The Lafayette Lacemaker's demonstrate annually at the Feast of the Hunters' Moon.  

At the last meeting, we talked about lucet cord making (previous post), 

and new-to-me finger loop braiding.

From their blog:    "For the next couple of meetings, we are going to acquaint ourselves with some of the period appropriate (Feast of the Hunters' Moon) fiber activities that people would see if they came into our homes (huts or tents). "

With a little coaching from member Carolyn R, I think I got the hang of it.

In 2022, I participated in the demonstration.   My focus was on tatting.

Shuttles made of Horn, I did my best on simple tatting.  A challenge as they didn't have a pic.

Other members demonstrated bobbin lace and lace knitting.

btw, did you see the ad for Tulip (brand) embroidery scissors with the curved blade ?
