Herbularius update

The lenghts of Eterna threads from Joyce and Abi arrived last week, so I could finish the cross stitches of Herbularius part 2. Having enough thread was very motivating!
This weekend is IHSW again! You can click on the button on the sidebar for more information. Because I will go to mom on Saturday to clean out more cupboards, for me only Sunday will be a hermit-and-stitch day. I wonder what we will find on this part of memory lane.
My eldest brother and I got a load of stuff from the attic during one of the visits to the old house. Because nobody has been there for several years it was a spider paradise. Spider cobs hanging from the roof just like a creepy film or a Halloween scene! And of course I was the one who had to go through the acces hatch by climbing an unstable stepladder. We found boxes with primary school drawings and stuffed animals. And loads of old junk and dirt.
