I love sunflowers. None in my garden this year (they usually reseed themselves... hmm). But I do have more hollyhocks, so that's a bonus.

And looking out of the window my first sunflower is smiling back at me from my old vegatable patch

I remember doing the model stitch for this for Kate seven years ago! It's a lovely, cheery kit! xxx

Sometimes we all need a bit of Fairy dust:

I love the pictures of Fairies by Julie Fain.

I thought it was the moon but now I think it is a red sun :wink: Today is the last day of summer and I thought you might like to see the progress on my Fairy:

Not much further to go and she will be done :D I wonder why I stitched this one anticlockwise :thinks:

Perhaps it's a moon in eclipse? Whichever it might be, it's very atmospheric.
