Fava

Scapa is very happy when I am clumsy and miss the pot with a bean. 

Market day!

And Chris spotted some blueberries!

And Scapa was happy with the haul. 

On my Way

The coast mountains are always stunning. Now I’m just waiting for ever for my red eye flight. 

Whitehorse Raspberries

I was hoping some raspberries would ripen before I returned to NS, where I’ve probably missed their season. There’s just a few.

Back Alley Delphiniums

On my lunch hour walk today I spotted this beautiful delphiniums and one of the alleys downtown. 

The bees were loving them. But too fast for me to photograph. 

Poppies

As I was leaving for work this morning I thought the poppies looked fantastic. I don’t think the photo does them justice. These are the annual poppies with the seed heads of our perennial poppies visible as well. 

Yukon Brewing

A quick stop for cold beer. 

Northern Fibre Guild Natural Dye Day

My Yukon guild hosted a dye day at a member’s house. We had fun despite the heat. The indigo was hands down a fan favourite. 

Here’s some of the results. 

Jean dyed some old sheets for a rag rug she is designing. It will have the colours of the forest floor. 

She extracted cookout from spruce cones for one of those. It smelled fantastic. 

Here’s a look at the broad collection of colours. 

Most of the yarn was wool. The fabrics are cottons. 

Hey! Presto! Curtains

Yea towels with a rod and rings assembled from a variety of stores in town. It was a pleasure to shop in the air conditioning. It is so hot here right now. 

Icelandic Handspun

I’m on a Tour de Fleece Team and have been challenging myself to spin what I’ve got. I got this Icelandic fleece all spun. 

It came out lovely. 

So much so that I think I will leave it alone rather than try and dye it. It is soft and squishy and has a halo and a sheen to it. 

Tea Cups from the Office

I’m packing up my office and had to find an interim spot for some of my tea cups. I think it looks nice. 

Atlin Canada Day

I had too much fun to take pictures. I got a couple of my spinning

The Canada Day parade was totally cool.
