Now this will be fun!

That was very kind of Joanella, same backy I smoke hope your successful Lulu enjoy but don't tell the tax man hehe haha.

Hope its not wacky baccy Lu!!!!!! Great idea though!

Lol Grandmage we are all wacky just some more than others, good enough for the mps who make the laws, yet they have smoked the stuff them selves another law for the rich and one for the poor think I m losing count on this hehe haha.

Wow!! I remember that blog, I ordered Old Holborn, lol. To be honest I really thought it was a joke, never thought you`d actually get some leaves.......

Now wacky baccy leaves are a very different shape!

I know, lucky me!!

:))))

You'll be right for Christmas Lulu ... I love the smell of cigars at Christmas time. Never tried them though.

I was more thinking little rollie ciggies hywel!!! Not a cigar smoker.....yet!

lol sorry no it doesn't seem a lady-like thing to do does it :D

Wot! Lulu's got to roll them on her thighs, Cuban style! :))

let us know how you get on lulu, i would guess when dry you just chop up fine and away you go lol :o))

I have lit a cigar for an elderly gent I used to care for....cough, cough!
Well rolling on the thighs.........that might need a photo!!

Am wondering now, how I stop it from being over dry?!!!

I saw Joanella's blog about this growing ... never dreamed she would actually post some to you ... lol! ... Let us know how you progress with those leaves ... :o)

Hi Lulu,only just seen this blog didnt know you had put it on already..they look well hanging in your window..lol.Shirley i have some more seeds ..if you want to grow a few,let me know..lol :o) Lincs,would you like some seeds ? & i am not joking ..lol.

I'll pass on that offer, thanks Joan! ... :o)))

:o))

6d's link there's great - spaghetti machine! There's also a 'thigh roller' on the same page! lol!! Those cigars cost a fortune! lol!!!

hahaha

I will get brown thighs!!

Heehee! Yes, Lulu! You'll look exotique! lol!!!

You need a commador to keep the leaves damp.

how good is this..please keep us updated as to the progress lulu

what, the thighs or the tabacco!!?

LOL! SIMW!!!

Now I know what LOL means but SIMW?

Iam with you on that one Lulu..just about keep up with the lol,s..lol

ok Im lolling!

And I am confused!

aw lol how are they doing?

they are going through their yello stage (rather like me.........no sleepzzzzzzzzzzzz)

The thighs or the leaves?? :))

hahaha the leaves are turning yellow and I am suffering from lack of sleep and am tired a fractious!! Trying to find a way of hanging my mosaics at shows which doesn't cost a fortune, isn't too heavy and is safe and effective!

Ah! There is a way, Lulu...we used to use 'strap hangers'.

We had NO money!...they fitted over the top of the stand wall and hung down....all the pots hung perfectly...

I can't remember if we bought them or made them...I will re-investigate!

Thanks KF, the stand at Cheltenham is made of scaffolding, so is thick! Will appreciate all ideas! Thanks. x

20 years of experience, Lulu... craft fairs, trade fairs...home and abroad....
But, that was then......and I had two children to keep..

Bon Courage at Cheltenham! :) x

Do they have hanging fittings on the back Lulu? if so jsut use wire?

If you're going to do a lot of shows, it might be worth investing...a bit at a time...

I think our hangers were made from shelf-tracking, bent at the ends...then we put hooks wherever we wanted...or, even shelves!

I was thinking maybe mesh panels, the cheaper option.
Sort of ___[------ shapes, if you get my drift. I could place them in a base of wood with grooves to keep them stable..................!!

I'm not very sure if I understand the shapes...!
But, I'm sure it would work if you could keep them rigid... :)

Another thing we did was panels made from sheets of 'brickwork' and 'stone' effect hardboard stuff...with holes drilled here and there for little butchers hooks...they could be hung or propped up. Made quite a good backdrop!

True! Although the mosaics being heavy have to hang on something pretty solid. Can't do the shapes very well on computer!! But have the mesh x 3 of them in a sort of S shape!!

Hi Lulu,what a great blog and what a great friend you have for sending you these leaves and seeds.I bet you are frustrated at not getting much sleep etc.

We are both smokers and would love to know how you get on with these leaves and seeds.Sod growing tomatoes and other veg send me some seeds and ill grow a greenhouse full of baccy leaves lol:)))))

I'm sure they'll work, Lulu! And, it'll all develop as you go... :))
