Little Bits of Summer

The first wild iris of the season in my garden


Summer around the world: a seashell and some heather from Scotland, a cone from Australia, stones from Nova Scotia, walnut shells from B.C., and pieces of wood from various places around the Yukon.


My week-end sewing project: my old napkins were looking pretty ratty so I decided some new summery-looking ones were in order. It only took me a couple of hours to make these.

Summer has arrived on our nature table too. Even though the kids are grown, I still maintain the nature table, which changes with the seasons and my mood. This is Mother Nature with her Flower Children. They're looking a bit worse for wear - I made these 15 years ago and they've had some hard use.
