When I was a kid , me and my mom used to go for a mushroom picking expeditions in the forrest near by (in Siberia). Mom would make preserves with the mushrooms... I'd watch... Mmm... the earthie fresh smell of the forrest.I haven't had a pickled mushroom in 20 years. They completely lost their appeal during my first pregnancy, and have never regained my trust since then. However, I would like to share the picking experience with my daughters. Maybe strawberries? Or apples?:)
This pattern is about picking mushrooms after the rain.
it is delectable! i like the lighter grey background.
ReplyDeleteI love your designs Helen. Everyone is a winner!
ReplyDeletethese are so awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories too, we called it "mushroom hunting" as if the mushrooms could run away. They were very good at hiding though. We picked mostly morels.
Cu-u-ute pattern! I used to go mushroom picking with my mom too. In Finland. :) Loved it. I never ate the mushrooms though. Just loved looking for them. We picked berries too in the fall: blueberries, lingonberries...
ReplyDeleteMushroom hunting... ha ha:)
ReplyDeleteI just realized I don't even know the names of the mushrooms in English. Something I got to look up:)
We used to pick blueberry also. Although it was so much work for so little ... the blueberries were so tiny.
SO lovely...I really hope one day I can buy a whole book full of your gorgeous work :) xx
ReplyDeleteTu blog es Fantastic!!!! te felicito tanto. Ya te tengo en mis favoritos. Te visitare seguido.
ReplyDeleteI have always HATED to eat mushrooms and I put it down to subconscious memories of my parents picking mushrooms in my early years and my older sister (at the age of 3 or 4) being trained to phone 999 and tell the paramedics that her mummy and daddy had picked and eaten some wild mushrooms... It is more like a phobia of mushrooms than a dislike... Still love your pattern though :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this pattern (and I love mushrooms)!
