I went for a hike up Paradise Valley in the Rockies this weekend. It was spectacular with the larches turning. BUT, I forgot my camera!

Opus BA Studies
I have been so busy these past 2 weeks finishing up the summer module of work for the Opus BA course I am doing. This afternoon I put everything in a box and sent it on its way to the UK to be assessed. What a relief. It was a challenging module, all about learning to draw the human figure to express personal ideas.
This is an image of a quick stitch sample I worked up for 1 of the assignments where I explored mothers & roses.
It is already 2 weeks into the new semester so I now must focus on a new module of work.

Farm Study
We (Articulation -the fibre arts group) had an amazing time this year (each year we go somewhere special together) ...
Over the week, our host, Leann Clifford, a farm girl herself, kept us busy from dawn 'til dusk exploring all things unique, interesting & exciting to be found in the Land of Living Skies.
Each of us now has full flash cards, bulging sketchbooks, grain samples & an armful of brochures to work with to produce a body of work.
Thanks Leann for a wonderful, unforgetable week,

End of Summer
I have just got back from my summer holidays -time out on the magnificent Canadian Prairies and time in the Gulf Islands & Strait of Georgia between Vancouver Island & the mainland of British Columbia. I'm still unpacking and catching up on life and need to put in many hours to complete the summer semester of my Opus module which is due in England soon.
It was 3 degrees this morning so it really does feel as though summer is over. Now for my favourite season.
