I made some things!

I've been online less this last week or so, but I haven't been entirely idle!  I dyed some Easter eggs with onion skins,but for some reason am having great difficulty getting the picture of them loaded.  Sorry about that, especially to pulchritude , who wanted to know how onion-dyed eggs worked.

To rest my eyes from this laptop screen, I took up my unfinished winter knitting -- a very silly tea-cosy, inspired by my having remnants of grey and pink wool to use up, and by these birds.  (There's still a thread trailing, because I need to take it to the destined teapot before I'll be certain how much gap to leave for the handle and spout).  I think I'll call it The Galah in Triumph.




I have many posts to catch upon, and I will today or tomorrow - and there's stories to read, too!  :)  Meanwhile, I've been  listening to an audiobook of The Three Mullah-Mulgars, about which more in another post, maybe.  Has anyone out there read it?

and despite reading less than usual, I have managed to accumulate some links:

Water...  sorely needed in these times some good news!  http://www.climatenewsnetwork.net/water-man-of-india-makes-rivers-flow-again

Language.... some very glum news, or news that must be glum for those involved in education in the UK, or for anyone who's tried to use Google translate.

and this last one which is about a fascinating but slowish way to furnish.

That tea cosy looks like a very voluminous ballgown had it not been for the bird on top. :-)

Hmmm... ballgown...(ponders the possibilities) :)
