This Idea is just nuts!
This Idea is just nuts!

Following on from the previous workings of the Nut Trees* and, after spending a wonderful time lacemaking with the Eurells and friends in Florida recently, hence the lateness of this month’s blog, I have been sorting through photos from the trip...
This picture shows some most peculiar ‘trees’! They are actually nutmegs, unusually complete with their mace ‘cauls’. When freshly fallen from the tree, the caul would have been bright red, but these have dried......incidentally, the nutmeg used for culinary purposes remains further protected by the glossy shell shown here.
Joanne very kindly offered to donate some of her nutmegs to the cause of my continuing Nut Tree lunacy. Even without these additions, I had already begun researching and developing another pattern in the Nut Tree Saga, so these wonderful new ‘trees’ will soon be fuelling the inspirational cause!
