Spring is here. We have two beautiful fruit trees in our back yard. One is apricot and the other one is plum. They are both producing gorgeous blossoms in Spring and fruit in Summer.
Many little projects are always on the go here in my Treehouse Studio. Also the dyeing pot is steaming away on the back deck. I often gather some dye-able leaves on my walks during the week and in the weekend I quickly prepare dye bundles and steam. I love the feeling of participation when I reveal the dye bundles.
I'm also working on some gentle stitch projects using old doilies, lace, embroideries and beads. I have been collecting old doilies and old lace over the years. It's time to put them into good use. Another project is crazy quilt block I'm doing online. I'm really enjoying it, but a bit slow with precise stitches. It's coming along very well.
Below are various photos of life happenings at Notjustnat's residence!

Spring time wouldn't be the same without some spring seedlings. I potted some Petunia and Lobelia for the Treehouse Studio's landing. Can't wait for them to flower! The apricot is also full of blossoms. I hope they will give us lots of fruit this summer. I know some of you are heading into Fall/Autumn. Changing seasons is always welcome. Enjoy!
Until next time.

ReplyDeleteHello Nat,
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring, how lovely to get that sign for your studio. Gosh the dyed fabrics are absolutely stunning and I love the little tin cushions. A beautiful inspiring post.

Spring has sprung there! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have loved seeing your little projects on IG. The tea book is darling and that little mini box is so sweet.
Your dying has been incredible. You will have so much fun fabric to work with.
Your crazy stitching is coming along beautifully too.
Hi, Nat. Love your post--your dyed fabrics are fabulous. I inherited a doily collection, so I always enjoy seeing what others do with them...other than use them for doilies! The book covers are really cute!
ReplyDeleteThere are some fabulous designs on the dyed fabrics. I love petunias. They are such cheerful flowers which cover the garden with gay abandon.
