I lived alone with my baby in an off-grid cabin on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia. Now I live alone on Prince Edward Island with my ten year old daughter.

Weaving blue: When I am blue
I wove this wool blanket from yarn I dyed with indigo that I grew in my garden. There were many skeins of subtle blue's reminding me of sky's of blue that are just ahead. The blanket measures 6 feet long and 52 inches wide.
Indigo blue is one of my favorite colors. Your blanket is stunning. I just love your lifestyle, Rhonda. You are my inspiration. I think there's so much I could learn from you! Hugs, Nancy
What an incredibly beautiful blanket, I just love that shade of blue! And you grew indigo in your garden? I wonder if I could grow it here. Always am so inspired by your creativity! Blessings and hugs :)
That's lovely. That snow man does look chilly! We are 70 degrees today.
ReplyDeleteI thought he looked cold to. I hope he will warm up.
ReplyDeleteWow- That is a beautiful job of weaving, Ronda. You are really one talented lady! Hugs to you and your daughter-xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks Diana. I just needed a new blanket.
DeleteHow beautiful and the fact that you dye your own wool with plants from your garden is amazing. Is there anything you can't do? Happy February!
