Summer is here and natural dyeing is in full swing. Last Sunday was the first natural dye class of the season and we had some amazing samples and skeins. I think this was the best onion skin depot I have ever had. Must have been some super orange onion skins.

 I have a natural dye retreat  on August 22nd and 23rd . There are still a couple of slots available in that class.  This retreat is always fun.  We pick from the dye gardens and eat from the veggie garden with pizza on saturday night. I can't wait to see what amazing things we come up with  on that weekend.  Today I need to start drying this years crop of dyers coreopsis. Life is busy but I need to pick every day to keep them blooming.    

        Violet the angora rabbit had babies 2 weeks ago, I posted video on the Fae Ridge Facebook page when they were a few days old. I will click a shot of them in the next few days for anyone who missed the Facebook shots. I am now spending lots of time handling them so they will be  good lap spinning bunnies.  I plan to take a couple at a time out to the store on Saturday for  holding.  I will have some beautiful babies for sale in about  6 weeks.
