Weekly update time



I am still working on her dress

Jo

[Mabel Figworthy]

It's a dress well worth working on - she's coming on beautifully!

[Serinde]

Beautiful!

(I did always think she has impossibly long legs, but I suspect envy on my part.)

[Nicola Main]

I always look forward to your weekly updates Jo! She is looking magnificent!

[wendywombat]

Amazing detail in that dress

A great update. You certainly are getting closer to the finish of this lovely design.

Thank you ladies, today was the calm before the storm so I have been making the most of it in my conservatory. I started by finishing off the bottom water and rushes:

She now has a head

[Serinde]

Very nice indeed!

[Squirrel]

That is brilliant - simple yet elegant. Well done.

[Nicola Main]

She is looking lovely and I love that delicate green colour on her dress

[wendywombat]

Very delicate.

Do take care in the Windy Weather forecast!!

You might think about bringing everything indoors from the Conservatory

[rcperryls]

Elegant, delicate and beautiful!

Thank you Serinde's comment on her legs led me back to Ruth Sanderson's original painting where you can see one of her feet underneath and she is on tip toes. No doubt trying to avoid getting her dress muddy but by looks of things she has not succeeded

While we have had storms the last couple of days it has not stopped the primroses from coming out:



I am not sure what the red flowers on the far left are supposed to be. There is nothing red out in my garden at the moment I have Daffodils, snowdrops, reticulata irises, crocus and of course the primroses

[Nicola Main]

She is absolutely beautiful Jo! and your garden sounds gorgeous with all these spring flowers

I agree. She is just stunning! I envy your garden. It’s still too early for anything to bud and leaf yet.

[Mabel Figworthy]

She looks lovely, and the flowers are probably artistic licence - we've got snowdrops, some crocuses and a single brave daffodil, but like you nothing red yet.

[Squirrel]

She is looking great and you are making good progress with her.
How wonderful to read about all the wonderful spring flowers - I do miss them.
