G is for Garden
All of August I will be posting pictures of the beautiful flowers from the neighbourhood park. For your daily dose of flowers, do look up my blog Trees, plants & more. :)

Rose Garden
Newspapers keep telling us that climate change will bring about the end of the British rose gardens. Happily for me, when I moved house last month we discovered this neglected rose bush in our new garden. A neighbour tells us that these rose bushes have been here for more than 50 years. They have so many wonderful flowers ,the perfume is delightful.

G can be nothing but German Shepherd to me
add a Golden Retriever and this is what might emerge
25-30 years ago I cut a huge number of silhouettes in paper. First using designs in books later looking around for inspiration and doing my own thing. Recently by chance I came across a blog of a lady who cuts the most intricate silhouettes and my jaw dropped: http://www.ruralpearl.com/ However seeing this I got inspired to return to silhouettes although not in paper but in fabric. So far I have only been drawing on the computer.

G is for Gingerbread
G is for gingerbread guy
I made "Ginger" earlier in the year from dyed cotton, stuffed and decorated with cloves, a homespun scarf and twiggy things I found on one of my walks

Letter - G
Lots of good ideas, work and photos lately. I have been looking, honest! My last teaching session for the summer is on Monday evening, so I may finally get a chance to comment.
The prompt for the rest of July is for things having to do with the Letter G. When you compose your post, it would be great if you could choose G for the label box before clicking on publish. If you click on Show All, next to the labels box, you can select the right label for the prompt you are responding to. (I'd like to keep the labels relevant to the prompts, though, so please don't add new ones.)
We also recently had gold for inspiration, you could look there to get a start or to see how you might want to go in a completely different direction.
