Recently a friend showed me an spf umbrella, supposedly ideal for sun protection out walking. Silver outside, lined, looked good. So I thought I could use one shade my upper body, no need for a hat. And promptly ordered one.
It arrived today
Not exactly like hers, but seemingly good for purpose. Then I read the instructions that came with it.
"Not to be used in sunlight, which could damage the fabric". It's going back. I already got the qr code to drop it off at the nearby UPS store.
According to my other knitting friends, I was had anyway, since any fabric between you and sunlight blocks UV. So I've learned a thing or two. But I'm disappointed. I could just use my regular umbrella. Which I will.
The gold and bead piece is progressing, I'm liking this a lot
This is probably going to be a page in the fabric book.
The spectacular hibiscus flower has already faded
And the zinnias are getting under way
My curry leaf plant which seemed to be dying, suddenly got going with new foliage
A bit hard to see against the ground cover, but many new little branches are developing. You can see the older yellowed leaves. I'll freeze them because they still have a lot of flavor.
And here's today's little flower arrangement
It's a while since I celebrated anyone's art, so here's a lovely piece
Australians do wonderful fiberarts. There's a spiritual quality in a lot of it that's hard to find elsewhere and impossible to duplicate.
Happy day, everyone, fight the good fight!
