cq, doily, motifs and Ketchikan AK

Doily finished from Catherine Austin's book, "A New Twist on Tatting". It is tatted in size 20 purple/white variegated.

Block is almost completed, basket is filled with silk ribbon flowers and ladybug buttons are flying around. Mary Corbet had a nice chain-beaded seam tutorial this week. It is along the green and easy to do.

Hooked rug flowers are finished. Waiting for wool from Dorr Mills to dye grey to hook the edges.

Pickin cherries, have 10 1/2 pts in the freezer and more to pick.

These guys have devoured the dill. I harvested and dried  the dill weed earlier and save the rest for the Monarch butterflies.  No comparison to store bought and easy to grow.

I purchase some motifs from sewvictoriacrazy.etsy.com   She is going out of business and has a sale.  Very nice motifs and ready to join Kathy Shawkl's   dying class.

 

 

The recent plane crash in Ketchikan, Ak was in the Misty Fjords where we took many trips on the wkend. The first picture is Eddy Rock, awesome, right in the middle of the water. Next is Wilson Lake flying in for a week's stay at Cabin. Sean and Dick unloading and pilot getting ready to take off. Last picture is Ella Lake, Linda and Dick catching trout. Back in the 80's the pilots, loaded with tourists would bee balm us ...Here are the Natives!! We go remote places for peace and quite and get away from the 4-5 tourist ships every day. Many lakes in the Misty Fjords and the main body of water has sheer cliffs on both sides. This is no place to visit on a rainy, windy Day!!!
