Spring is busy around here. I spend hours every day out of doors pulling weeds and fussing over my plants. It's more fun than it sounds, really! Things are going pretty well in the gardening department except a wily mama bunny made a nest in the mulch that covers my garlic bed. I wondered how my lettuce and strawberries were getting eaten! I lost a whole tomato plant before the mystery was solved. The babies are gone now, so I hope they've moved onto greener pastures.
I've been doing some dyeing lately. Playing with colors, to see what I like. I have no names for these colorways yet, but what do you think?





Also, work has been ongoing for the art fair I mentioned previously. Entered for the jury's consideration:


Organic merino dyed gray with light lavender yarn violets.

Also, some scarves and a hat knit from beautiful hand-painted yarn.


My friend Morwenna at Mosaic Moon dyed these lovely colorways--"Malayan Orchid" and "Guinevere" on Targhee and Blue Faced Leicester.


It will be a month of nail-biting to hear if I've been accepted as a vendor. Then, if I am, only two months to prepare the merchandise! I've been doing some knitting as I wait in an effort to be optimistic.
