It's Fireweed Season

I love fireweed season 

and I thought I would share a few photos I have taken of them

 as well as a few pictures of places I have been recently.

And a summertime selfie to finish it off!

Bowl Making

Yesterday I spent much of my day working on bowl making.  

I started them many months ago, and they have waited patiently for my return.   

I managed to finish 2, and prepped four more. 

These bowls are made from egg carton pulp 

that is covered with layers of tea bag paper and paint 

before being decorated. 

The final coat is a layer of encaustic wax. 

I have a plan for this one.....

but this one will just happen as I go along. 

I was planning to work on these today, but the day was sunny.....

and the mountains called me. 

Maybe I will work on them tomorrow.....

Summer's Over.....

Yes summer is over, and so is fall, 

so I spent this snowy day remembering some places

I enjoyed this summer..... 

Oh what fun we had!!!

My plan is to share some creative things in a few days....

Thumbs Up Mini Adventure

I have been meaning to share some images from a trip

my daughter and I went on  over 3 weeks ago

and I am finally making it happen. 

It is always difficult for us to get days off work at the same time

during our busy summer season,but we managed a 2 day adventure together.

We hiked along beautiful Kathleen Lake

 and I took pictures of  Dana.... 

And she took pictures of me

We camped at Louise Lake for the night,

and made the return hike back along Kathleen Lake the next day.  

It was definitely a beautiful and thumbs up  mini adventure!

I am now in the midst of preparing for a major adventure with my other daughter 

- both nervous and excited about that!
