Cooking colors

I just came back from a wonderful long weekend in Portland and Washington. I attended a great class at WildCraft Studio school called Kitchen Sink Dyes. Chelsea Heffner, the owner and teacher of this class is very knowledgable and kind. We had a wonderful walk in the forest to harvest Lupine, an amazing fresh and yummy lunch and a great time learning all we could about dyeing fabric and yarn with everyday herbs, spices, flowers and veggies. More details in the next post.

Lavender

We're still working on our back yard but we're so excited that we had to plant a few French lavender plants. We love the beautiful colors, the look and the smell, they remind me of our wonderful trip to Provence a few years ago.
