I have now seven plants all around the trunk :

the clematis which was before on the garden arch

June topic:   Half-year recap:  How are you doing with your goals so far this year?

Those last days with the hot temperatures haven't been very efficient and lake of sleep and weird sensations during this past week...

but the recap is ok, if I look at the introduction post, I'm late on making necklaces, on cross stitching and perforated paper, on the writing, on sewing (I'll borrow DD3 sewing machine).
