Thrifted sleeveless cotton/linen top, transformed with sumac, dogwood, and wild raspberry under the influence of well water, iron, heat, and time. Clothing that reflects this place, this summer. Available @manitobafibrefestival September 14 & 15, thanks to @marigoldmade who will have some of my pieces in her booth. #forestfloor #fullmoon #dyepot #thanksIndia #bundledyed #ecoprint #upcycledclothing #linen #cotton #fromthefieldsandforest

A lesson in aging well, or perhaps simply the inevitability of decay. I love the luminosity and grace of this faded old blossom. #august #prairieflowers #manitobaflora #ripeness #seeds

Those of you who are not fibre people may not recognize this as the sweet miracle that it is. My precious bits of fleece from our one remaining white ewe, some of it already a couple of years old and never washed, has been transformed into bags of fluffy roving by Anna @longwayhomestead on the new mill equipment. It's wonderful! I am going to get more of my hoarded fleeces processed before the rest of you discover Anna's services and the waiting list gets really long! What a great resource for our local fibre community. #longwayhomestead #pembinafibreshed #shetlandwool #manitobamade #manitobafibrefarm #roving

It was a good afternoon to sit in the river, although the healing waters of the mighty Birch are not currently deep enough to wet a dog's back. #riverwalking #slowliving #flow #allthediamondsintheworld #laddie

Simple pleasures, quiet joy. #porchlife #slowliving

I couldn't recall the name of this plant until I touched the stem. Aha! Sticky asphodel. Such fun to say. Also known as sticky false asphodel or sticky tofieldia. Botanically: Triantha glutinosa. Forms large colonies in wet meadows and ditches. #manitobawildflowers #ditchbotany

The flowers of the Showy Milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) really live up to the name. This is the first time I have seen this species. That makes four species of milkweed growing on this little patch of land. #manitobaflora #monarchbutterfly #habitat #manitobaplants #exploreoutside #knowyourplace #manitobanature #prairieflowers #manitobasummer

Freshly mown labyrinth, ready for solstice. It's imperfect and rough and the trees will claim it some day. #justright #meander #turningoftheyear #summereve

Browsing lessons with old Auntie Pearl. The fresh maple leaves were a hit with everyone. I'm not sure if Iona actually managed to eat this but she sure has the right idea. #manitoba #fibrefarm #leafhavenshetlands #lambfun #gulmoget #growingyarn

It's very encouraging when the person who bought a fleece last year really wants the fleece from the same sheep this year. We are gradually reaching our quality goals for the flock and it's wonderful to have that recognized in the marketplace. #shetlandsheep #leafhaven #emmalea #naturalcolouredfleece #manitobamade #spinnersofinstagram #manitobafibre #manitobafibrefarm #pembinafibreshed #grassintoyarn #sheepsuperpower #smallfarms
