Twelve Month Challenge

Twelve Month Challenge



Happy Sunday Everyone!

Was it a long lazy lie in today
or croissants in the garden with
honey and a big pot of coffee?

Always think there is something
nicely decadent about breakfast
in the garden...........

So, back to earth and on with the
Challenge!

Time for the next verse of
Sara Coleridge's poem:

Hot July brings cooling showers,
Apricots and gillyflowers.

and here is Claire Jackson's canvas
for July:


All you have to do is take your
inspiration from the poem to
make a card, journal page, postcard.
whatever takes your fancy and 
include on it somewhere the
verse for July...........and
just for the fun of it a
gillyflower.

Then upload your project via
the link or if that isn't working
send it to me, along with your
blog link, at
mickiecraftbarn@gmail.com
and I will add it for you.

The link closes at midnight on
23rd July

Good luck and as always, I'm
looking forward to visiting!

'Till tomorrow

Mickie xx

      I interpreted it as an oldfashioned name for a variety of flowers, particularly pink carnations or wallflowers.You'll notice mine are not clearly defined and very much open to interpretation!!! Have fun with the challenge xx

      Thanks for that - it does seem to be carnations, wallflowers or stocks. Great postcard and I do love your apricots too!

      Learn about growing stock flowers, also called Virginia Stock Flower, Gilly Flower , ...
      Hope this helps xx

    A lovely canvas again, I like that apricot tree.
    I looked up the gillyflower too. The Encyclopaedia Britannica mentions the sea gillyflower, ie. a sea pink, might be an option for a coastal scene.
