Yr ydym yn rhannu y 'blog' ond nid ydi hi yn dda iawn am sgwennu arno; oherwydd mae hi yn thy brysur yn tyfu y blodau. Fi, Enys, sydd wedi sywennu dros Helen ond mi wnaf geisio cael hyd i amser i 'flogio' mwy. Mae Helen yn deud mae yr ateb yw 'solar dyeing',neu defnyddio 'slow cooker'.

Tydw i ddim yn gwneud y math yma o waith fy hun ond mae gen i Embellisher, felly hwyrach ei bod yn amser i mi ddechrau?
