Last year’s Jackie and the Beanstalk Seed Packets were such a hit. I am pleased to be able to offer them again this year. And now through April 30, 2013 you can get a FREE packet of seeds with your U.S. shipped order of any Kits or Supplies in the HeartStrings catalogs at Shopatron. Just enter the words “Jackie and the Beanstalk Seeds” in the comments field of your order.
Or course, there’s a story about how the special Jackie and the Beanstalk magic seeds came about. But now that I know more about this plant, I can tell you that they also go by the name “Egyptian Bean Vine” or “Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine”. These seeds produce lovely pink flowers as shown in the photo above.

(Note: e-Patterns do not qualify for receiving a packet of seeds since I haven’t figured out how to download seeds, lol).

Ta! Da! And now you can see what the blue yarn in the salad spinner became.
It’s my newest design Fleur de Lis Lace Cape. Continue reading
