Idaho Peak

So we went there for the spectacular view and for the incredible flowers...

T'was a windy hike...

Our favorite:

Anemone occidentalis

The Western Anemone

This is actually the seed head of the flower, which blooms when the snow melts.

so

many

flowers

...

Ok so that's where painters get their inspiration!

And the view!

Not even from the 360 degrees look out!

Kim, it does get better up there!

Frances'pants

Finally some pictures of the pants I made for Frances,

a whiiiile ago.

Ok so I took a close up of the pants,

but for some obscure reason it does not want to be uploaded on this blog.

So here,

it's the perfect shape for a baby, you know, to fit diapers and all.

don't they look so relaxed ?

Couch: before/after

BEFORE:

There is an incredibly comfortable couch.

It's extra-firm but also mega-brown.

Some would say "it's nice, it's chocolate brown"

Yeah, well guess what else is really close to this colour? Hm?

Even in the evening sunset...I wanted a different effect.

AFTER:

Black!??

is that all we got?

Pink?

Wait...

...On the other side of black and fuchsia pink I sew some liberty fabrics.

Mauvey Grey/Chocolate

to match the black side.

January Paisley Sepia

to match the fuchsia.

Tadaa!

And the simple coloured face are for

when we need a break from flower prints.

Dale loves them...for now.

For Christophe

Going to Christophe's birthday party, I wanted to make him something homemade.

With liberty fabric.

I thought of 2 pillow cases, one in his colours (he's an "autumn") and one in Fitz'colors (he's a "winter").

Ok I know, there's a lot of pink but hopefully, in the dim light of a bedroom it won't be too too flashy.... ?

PS: I finished ironing them literally 10 minutes before leaving for the most amazing birthday party ever!!!!

There was a band, Magic Arrows, with Rhoneil singing on a flat rock above a camp fire, all this in paradise garden...with friends...under the stars...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHE!
