(Yesterday I was mainly) indigo-dyeing at our Guild Summer Garden Party.

I had a lovely day and brought home lots of lovely dyed fibre and yarn :)

 I thought Id better finally do something with all the fruit our old bachelor farmer friend brings to us. So he's going home tonight with a rhubarb tart and a gooseberry tart!
 I expect he will think: " not before bloody time"!!
