Oh cool! Clearly I did multiple things wrong, but I don't know what... I used the exact same substance that dyes my hair blue, but it did nothing on the linen or wool. All I did was add extra water and let it sit slightly longer? I'm very confused but will keep trying!

Have you ever used their hulls as decorations? I mean even half a shell or hull would look great on some inventions. Our acorns, where I live in South GA doesn't get anywhere near that big. However we have a tool that is labeled pecan picker upper. I think it would do a great job getting these acorns.

Hi Debra, I haven't used them for decoration, but that's a fun idea. I was thinking I would get a pecan picker as they're nearly the same size, just haven't done it yet. Thanks for the ideas!

If you have "lonely socks without a mate" it may possibly be that one of them is turned inside out and looks very different to the one that is right side out still. (That only seems to happen with non brightly patterned socks, those that are just plain). So with plain socks, make sure you turn them both wrong or right side out before washing, and you won't "lose one". Still doesn't explain how I lost a perfectly good very brightly striped purple sock between the bathroom and the washing machine though...lol.

Thanks for sharing this one. I've been doing it for about eight years and recovered lots of my mom's beautiful colors of socks and did a few with socks. You finally described why I found it more time consuming to sew these together but with a better result. I use all types of fabrics and try not to go to Goodwill for a few more colors unless I really want to splurge. My mother passed away twelve years ago and so I have recycled lots of fabric and projects of hers into rugs. I also used my brother's work shirts for a rug for his cat which that cat loves. Once again, I was feeling silly not to get great results with the new sew variety. I did the crochet one too and I want more colors and action in mine than that affords me. Also thanks so much for that spiral cut technique! Way to go!

Hey kiddo sorry to bother you again but I have another question. I am thinking of trying wick watering so my plants will be OK when I go on vacation. Here is my question. The plants I just bought from Lowes look like they have been recently potted. So do not want to stress them by repotting again. I guess I need to know if you think this will work or not. I am thinking that I can wet the wick. Then since it will be wet and limp thread it through a straw and then manipulate it through the side of the plant to a water hole and then after I get it where I want it remove the straw. Here is the problem. Most of the videos I have watch show that in the middle of potting you need to wrap the wick around the middle of the pot. I will not be able to do that since I am not repotting. Do you think that my violet will get enough water with the wick just running down one side and not in the middle or should I do two wicks one on each side? I have had these plants for 24 hours and I do not want to kill them right from the get go. Thank you for any opinions or suggestion you want to share with me. JoAnne (also called Jay!)
@WillowPolson 2 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't go to all that trouble for wick watering, I had a lot of trouble with it when I tried it. The wicks would come out, or get covered in some slime that "drank" all the water. I prefer 2-piece ceramic soaker pots (but they can be expensive) or just plastic in a little dish for bottom watering. For repotting I would go ahead and do it once the current flowers are done, and use African Violet potting soil with high perlite content (the white things) and low peat content. Too much peat will keep moisture at the roots and lead to rot. You want a nice light soil that drains well. I use Black Gold and add another 25-40% perlite to that.

Hi there. Just a quick question. I watched your video and you got right up to the part that I wanted to see and you did not do it. Have you shown how to bag a plant somewhere else? I have watched other videos but they all have large systems and elaborate grow lights etc. I am a lot like Joe in that I am a senior on a fixed income so need to do this as inexpensively as possible. I also got my plants from Lowes. Can you explain how you bag a plant? Once you put the plant in the baggie do you totally seal it? Do you have to water a bagged plant? Since I got my plants at Lowes there are no names can you recommend a place where we can try and find out what the names are of them? Thanks for you video. I found it very helpful. JoAnne Raymond
@WillowPolson 2 жыл бұрын
Hello, and thanks for watching! Most Lowes plants are from the grower Optimara which has a list of their varieties here: myviolet.com/ -- since many look very similar, check if it's a variety that was grown the year you bought your plant to help narrow it down. You would only need to put a baggie over a plant that you've beheaded or a rooting leaf. I don't seal the bag, as I've found it can lead to rot, but others do seal it completely. I just arrange it over the top of the pot so that it encloses the plant completely. Water the plant once, and you probably won't have to water it again as long as it's bagged, but check the soil moisture once a week to be sure (I live in a dry area, for example). Thanks for the great questions, and I'm glad the video was helpful. :)

I'll have to see if I can get a pic of my mom's old foot pedal singer sewing machine/table. It was given to her by my grandma who got it from her mother who was a seamstress when they got off the boat in New York. I'm not sure if it's still operable. Just the table part itself is gorgeous. Also, what a great view out that window while you're working! That 1899 model is just beautiful.
@WillowPolson 2 жыл бұрын
I'd love to see a picture! If you have access to the machine, grab that serial number (assuming it's a Singer) and check out that database so you can find out the year it was made. Let me know if it runs, and if not, what the trouble might be -- often all they need is some lubrication to get spinning once more.

Thank you so much. I know this video was done over a year ago but it has been a tremendous source of information for me. I have just recently started with a few African violets purchased at Lowe's. Of course no name on them.. I have always loved them dearly. I am a senior native American living alone on my little farm in the mountains of East tennessee. I've survived lung cancer with just one lung remaining. With this virus I'm staying home more and more. I've decided I really want to increase my number of violets. But have been so confused as to best places to order. I've checked out a couple of the large places online like the Violet Barn etc. Their prices are out of range for me along with exorbitant shipping prices. I only draw my social security. I am lucky though that my old shack in the mountains and land is paid for. I still remain active with my organic vegetable garden along with the help of my little dog. Any information you could share with me as to where I may find a few violets at a reasonable price with shipping would be a great help. I loved your video and I look forward to watching a couple more that you have posted. You stay safe and healthy out there. ( Chiefonelung)
@WillowPolson 2 жыл бұрын
Hello Joe, so nice to hear from you. Lowes is a good place to get violets, usually from Optimara, just make sure to isolate new ones from your current collection for about 3 months to be sure they don't have any harmful bugs hiding in there. There's actually an East Tennessee AV club! They have a Facebook page, or try visiting this link: africanvioletsocietyofamerica.org/participate/affiliates_home/region-5-affiliates/ Most AV people are very happy to share baby plants with others for free, and it's a fun experiment to try rooting leaves that are easy to send through the mail if travel is a hardship. Keep in touch and let me know how it goes!

I have a lot of knowledge of medicinal plants from my native American heritage. I also learned White oak basket weaving from my Shawnee grandmother. I love nature and the outdoors of the Eastern Tennessee mountains. When I spend time along a trout stream camping in my tent with my little dog it seems to renew an energize my spirit.
