Not a bad first find for potatoes. Especially considering that we didn't actually plant any, these are all volunteers from last year. Zucchini - flowering under the massive leaves.

Break from weeding to admire the view

Things have got a bit out of hand here 😂

Poppies, Crocosmia, hostas and assorted weeds in front of a house with black siding

Cat on a headboard. No wonder I haven't finished my book! Straight after this Ruud casually slid down and off the bed.

First pic is Rudi VanderKerkhoff. Recently took a massive dump on my son's bed. He sends all the poopy vibes. Eddie is much more refined and she also sends the good poop vibes

Cat sitting on a bed. One leg in the air. Has a wtf look in his face.

Pesto time! Nearly forgot about the garlic scapes!

Summer evenings are very lovely

Looking out onto a lake. Sky is pastel coloured and cloudless. Lights hang from black beams

Is the blanket anything like this? How was the blankie/new sheets combo?

I suppose it's is Canada Day

Whole household exhausted. You might wonder why. It was Rudi singing the song of his people at the top of his little cat lungs several times through the night. He was fine just chatty.

A wonky first attempt at weaving. Nettle, seaweed, hemp, wool, acrylic yarns all used. 🧶

Wonky weaving in a range of colours and yarns.

SproutCan@sproutcan· Jun 23

Weaving (mostly) with the seaweed and nettle yarns

My first poppy of the year!!

Bright red poppy in front of grasses and white daisies.

Went for a midsummer's day paddle at Risser's Beach. Love the warm sand and cold ocean under my feet.

Rocks on the ocean. Blue sky and white clouds

A pair of feet are taking a quick dip in the ocean

He made the loom so it would attach to my rug hooking frame. I can use it sitting or standing.

SproutCan@sproutcan· Jun 20

Hemp, nettle, agave, seaweed! Playtime! Shuttles and the loom all handmade by my incredibly talented husband!

Different colours and textures of plant yarns wrapped around wooden weaving shuttles.

Unlikely to get much done until I finish reading. Just finished Boudicca's Daughter (highly recommended, will read again)

Progress. Added the extra circle to ensure all 3 sisters and mum are represented. Not the original plan but amazing what your mind comes up with when you can't sleep.

Rug hooking work in progress. 4 circles- pink, orange, purple teal. Grey background

Work in progress. This is a gift for my son's girlfriend. Hoping it coordinates well with the blanket her mum is making
