Hello Autumn!

Hello hello!

How are you? I've been a little bit busy with my work and a little bit lazy with my blogging. There have been new things to learn and new timetable to hold on. I have to admit that work takes a huge piece of my creativity.

In our little garden we've been harvesting as you can see from the photos. I have still some work left there like herbs should be collected and dried. I also should dry tomato seeds to be used next year.

We have beautiful and very colored trees at the moment so I hope I can make a post about those gorgeous ones. It's getting also colder so one really have to start to make a new woolly hat. I've made also another test with natural dye - avocado - with help of India Flint's tips and got much more color from those fruits. I'll blog about it in near future. I have also few DIY ideas growing up in my brain, haha. So as you see - I like to tell you of so many great things! But time is limited.

And if you are wondering what is the last picture, I can tell you that it is roots of tomato. Those roots made my day by bringing me a lot of beautiful red tomatoes, so thank you goes for them!

How is your life at the moment? New things - old favorites?

I hope you have a beautiful weekend!

I decided to photograph my plants a little bit. The plan was to show you what I've been doing. Nothing big or nothing special. But one plan for this summer I have. I wish I don't have to buy salad from the grocery. I wish I can use only salad from my garden. We'll see how my wish come true! Do you have a garden? What you have planted there? What kind of garden is your dream garden?

My dream garden is green, rich and full of flavors, scents and colors. There are beautiful flowers like Helleborus, Hydrangea, Poppies, different kind of old roses, Clematis, Columbine flower, Peonies and different kind of herbs and vegetables. It's a place where I can work and rest when ever I want to.
