I think your Mother's Day is over in your neck of the woods, so I'll just hope it was happy and peaceful. Grasshoppers!! We don't see them anymore - I'm hoping that changes since we don't use fertilizer on our lawns, but everybody else seems to and I think that's what killed them all off. I remember them jumping everywhere I walked in the grass when I was a kid. Can't wait to see the new bag, it looks scrumptious!Allie-oops Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356598486121651755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-44236912144232054122017-05-13T21:05:43.141+10:002017-05-13T21:05:43.141+10:00Beautiful pattern and such pretty photos.

I was lying awake last night thinking about your grasshopper problem & I remembered a customer telling me she sprinkled her coffee grounds around her plants to stop bugs etc from eating them. She said she had such great success with this in her vegie garden that she went to her local coffee shop & they happily gave her a large bag of their coffee grinds. Perhaps worth a try my friend as its all natural around the edibles xxJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301647145550214950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-10394844529873974092017-05-12T07:33:24.434+10:002017-05-12T07:33:24.434+10:00Thanks for the lovely pattern.

Don't do what we did last year.....bought a van...we hadn't planned on spending anything....Oops! This year we only bought a water filter. Much better behaved. Good luck with getting rid of your grasshopper.

Thanks for the free pattern and idea. It could be made a little bigger and become a scrap bag for a friend, too. I like your new project - I thought it was going to have a grasshopper on it.

It kill the eggs of the next generation I believe. We don't use it, I don't like any kind of pesticides here, thus the squashing. :) Early in the morning when out in the garden you can look at the corn stalks and see dozens of them all lined up at the top of each stalk soaking in the sun. Best time to squash because they move really slow when cold.<br /><br />I have my Mother and my Mother-in-law close by and I generally buy them each a potted geranium for Mothers Day.<br /><br />Love the Cath Kidston fabric. It is hard to come by here in the states. I have a couple treasured peices.

I started stitching your Heartstrings design for my mum a couple of months ago and put it aside after I stitched borders on it. Now, with only 3 days to go I have no idea what to make it into lol. Your free project is beautiful. I can see myself trying to finish something at the last minute. Naughty little hungry grasshopper. I shall look at some of my books to see if there is a grasshopper deterent. Nice of you to provide it with a yummy lunch.
