Three wall hangings I made recently. The mountain goats is very important to Salish weavers for its wool and protection, but is also considered ancestral to some nations.
The new one is going to Cheam, one was for a Squamish hunter, and the first is for Klahoose.

Made this golden beets last weekend recipe with the lemon vinaigrette dressing. Very nice (I substituted sunflower seeds for the pistachios and used mixed greens).
