On the water in False Creek, looking towards the park, Judy enjoys her raspberry treat…shared all round. Hot weather, wool, beach and ice cream…Perfect.

My friends live for the moment and our plans are always on the fly. This week’s destination decided by none of us having access to a car…Except Pearl who traveled the furthest. Our picnic was light, little sandwiches, cheese, flatbread, carrots and some awesome black olive hummus.

Due to the wind, I think I inadvertently consumed a fair amount of fibre as well.

The monkey yarn was such a hit (thanks for the words of encouragement) I have opted for a newer, faster, better yarn which involves the following:


Felted bacon and eggs, including two green eggs. An homage to Dr. Suess. The base yarn will be a blend of naturals…seriously, with a dozen eggs and strips of bacon on the ply, what colour should it be…Time to step back and show a slight bit of restraint, right?

While Pearl was deciding on the perfect colour for the free range yolks, I was busy felting peas in a pod for Filberg..

These are the days that I treasure, a destination, a project and friends to share it with. Aside from the morning errands (which I did not enjoy because it involved actual thinking, math, and diagrams) Pearl, you talked me off the ledge! the day was exquisite.

A quiet moment for Toni. No chevrons, no crochet hook, just soaking up the breeze and sunshine.

Today’s project list is enormous…

  • Finish neckwraps
  • Source out pin backings
  • Finishing with Pearl
  • Labels for Birkeland
  • Lunch with Claire
  • More finishing.
  • Spin “Best Meal of the Day”

Yikes…
