I'm Baaack!

Spring is back and so am I!

I know it's been a long hiatus, but some times real life just takes over.  I now have a Mac version of Beadtool and have started back to designing patterns.

I also have some other pieces I have made during my downtime.  I plan on photographing them in the next few days and sharing.

"Garden" in kanji

Mid summer is the time for your garden to being full swing.  By now the squash and zuchini have become bountiful.  The salad greens, onions, and spinach have all been picked (and maybe even reseeded if you are industrious!) The tomatoes are swaying on the vine, blushing more each day.

This is the Kanji symbol for "garden."  I would work the pattern until it is long enough to wear as a bracelet.
