Fibre Festival and More....

July 21st and we are on holidays. Had a great visit to Assiniboine park and the butterfly garden. Definitely a highlight for me!

I am already obsessing about fall shows and sales. The garden is off to the races, starting to harvest some zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, and picking beans later today, it is Casi Cielo, (almost heaven).

Fall is super busy , well August too.  Off the top of my head, I will be doing Sioux Narrows Arts Festival, Matlock Art, Music and Nature Festival, the Barge Festival, Homespun Sale in Carlyle Saskatchewan, the big Etsy Made in Manitoba show, and more!!!

Right now, it is yarn bowls that are  foremost on my mind.  I want to make them useful, beautiful, and special.

TGIF

Grateful for Friday, even though it is a working weekend.  Summer is whirring along quickly with hot weather, fierce rain storms and a crazy growing garden.  I am not too disciplined with my studio time, but I think that is allowed as winter was pretty grinding.

tomorrow we have decided to have what we call a lazy pazy day.  That means no real plan, but do what comes our way.  That usually means mom giving into the boy playing some games on the computer while I escape into the studio for an hour, but just the freedom of making no committments for the whole day sems luxurious. One more week to Brandon Folk Festival  and we are pumped for fun.

In the garden, raspberies are starting, but I am in a serio.us rebuilding of this patch and it wont happen overnight.  It seems their migration to the middle of the garden is decided, and I am using the backside for vines, zucchini, pumpkins, and canteloupes are moving along and hopefully battling the quackgrass successfully.
