I have spent the last week celebrating with part of our family. We drove to western Washington and spent most of our time at my daughter's house outside the small town of Eatonville. My daughter has had various careers, but decided a few years ago to finally finish her college degree. She did that last Friday, graduating from the Tacoma campus of the University of Washington. I'm a proud Mom. While there my son that lives in Tacoma also joined us for the celebrations. His son, my oldest grandson, graduated from middle school and we went to the celebratory brunch at the school. Then to make it an even more celebratory week we celebrated birthdays, three of them. One of our grand daughters was home for the summer from college and we visited her at her job as a barista/front desk clerk at Whitaker's bunkhouse on the way up Mt Rainier. It was a fun week, lots of activity and family time.
The Weekly Leaf
This week I used the leaf that started out as golden yellow hand dyed fabric, stamped with soy wax using my big leaf tjap. Then it was dunked in the indigo pot. It's on the left in the picture below.
After being trimmed to size.
