Act like the Romans, and when in Kotzebue act like the Inupiaqs. And so this past weekend Paula and I took a basket weaving class at the Northwest Arctic Heritage Center in Kotzebue. This is the start of my first ever basket. It is made from grass collected down at the waterfront and woven together with either grass or thread treated with bees wax. I have just finished the base, and am now headed up the sides. It's really very fun and quite easy.

here, on the table at fronda florist on the avenidas in palma, the quiet everyday tells a tender story of preparation. bundles of purple roses, with their soft petals and delicate edges, are arranged on the work surface, ready to be crafted into a masterpiece of affection. the small, humble tools of the trade—tape, pens, a red ribbon spool—bear witness to the careful dedication with which each bouquet is created. a single leaf lies alone, like a lost thought. the scent of freshly cut foliage and budding flowers mingles in the air, while the anticipation for the moment when the "best wife of all" receives this symbol of love quietly unfolds.
During Johanna's travels through Sri Lanka, she encountered a magnificent peacock while wandering through a lush garden near an ancient temple at dawn. Its iridescent feathers glistening in the soft morning light. As if performing just for her, the peacock gracefully spread its tail into a breathtaking fan of vibrant colors. Inspired by its elegance, she designed the necklace. Two versions are available: one featuring soft pink crystals, which capture the delicate blush of dawn; the other featuring deep green crystals, which reflect the rich hues of the peacock's feathers.

Oh, this afghan!!! My first knitting project was a rainbow scarf, and the leftover skeins from that project were getting dragged around as I moved (many) times over the past few years. It seemed appropriate to me, as I added crochet to my resume, to use remnants of my first completed knitting project to learn new crochet skills. So, I started making granny squares, and as people who make them can attest, it can be addictive. So I started making them bigger. The nine squares in the center are about 1'x1'. I sewed those together, then did a few rows around them in red, then realized I needed to buy MORE yarn to finish this darn thing (the point had been to USE UP the yarn, not buy more!!!). So, I made a bazillion smaller 3-level squares, and sewed those around the larger ones, in pattern. Then around THOSE, I worked them into a giant granny square pattern by working three rounds of each color, reversing the rainbow. To make it more rectangular, I then worked a row of each color in dc in the rainbow pattern on two ends. I do not recommend trying to do a granny square afghan with squares that do not all have the same color on the outer round. Sewing up these squares was a pain in the butt, and there is a wrong side to this afghan, and I hate how it looks. In this picture, the ends are not yet sewn in; i really should put up a better shot!
Made from mostly Caron Wintuk. Specific colors available upon request.
It's done!! YOOHOOO!! I love how it turned out and I am so excited to see this on my daughter's bed. She will be thrilled, she is convinced I m keeping this for myself. LOL. She thinks it is going to keep me warm in my studio!
