July 4th Saturday Sky

 

What you see is the beginnings of an afternoon "popcorn thunderstorm" and purple mountains majesty.  Happy 4th of July!!

Why Weekends Feel So Short

Friday night we were rained out of our evening at the Utah Arts Festival.  We ended up hanging out with Cheryl and the Pontiff, while watching an exciting storm of wind, frightening lightning and drenching rain. But, the rainbow that came after was quite a beautiful sight.

Saturday we went to Jim and Deb'salpaca ranch. The setting was picturesque (to say the least) and the occasion of their wedding was a magical event.  Congratulations to two lovely people who have found their soul mates!

Sunday we made it to the Arts Festival and had a marvelous time walking through hoards of people, see tons of interesting art, and hearing fabulous music.  The metal sculptures were my favorites this year.

I'm looking forward to the long weekend ahead as are many of you! 

Project Spectrum Cardinal Directions East (May and June Wrap Up)

Flowers are easy to find in yellow and yellow flowers and the color of spring. Flowers are one of the only things I love in the color yellow. The wood in the photo is of an antique Japanese box (which houses a few treasures) sitting atop my one exquisite piece of furniture, an antique Japanese table (this might be the only household article I'd save in a fire).  The top skein of handspun is Hello Yarn Club Fiber Air (tencel/wool) and the bottom skein is Funky Carolina Club Fiber Twisted Hummingbird.  The mountain picture is the view to the East.

EAST (May/June)
Color: Yellow
Material: Wood
Season: Spring
Element: Air

This is "Air", a 2 ply handspun and it was fun to spin. There may be just enough yarndage to make a small shoulder shawl.  It's a sport weight(ish) and was very fun to spin as the colors are so unique.
