I have always needed someone like a garden angel that could follow me around. I get so tired of slapping mosquitoes and dodging hornets. If weeds could win awards, then I would be famous for my garden of weeds. A garden angel could carry on doing all the tasks that I know need to be done. I am very good at directing people to do things I don’t want to do. I would love a beautiful garden full of flowers, but not if it means I have to fight the elements and bugs plus pulling numerous weeds on a daily basis. For me, a garden angel is a necessity. This counted needlepoint garden journal was inspired by that thought. The needlepoint band with the rose border I thought would make a wonderful belt for a little bag for lavender, or any sachet.
