An arm full of tree!

Finally!!! I've finally been able to find eucalyptus branches! Yup, that's me hiding behind the biggest bouquet of Eucalyptus for my friend Lorraine! 

A couple of weeks ago my friend, Lorraine, asked if I could bring her some eucalyptus branches and leaves so can use them to dye her wool. You can read about the Great Eucalyptus Hunt here. www.josefinafineknits.com/blog/the-great-eucalyptus-hunt

At the time, after an extensive search, I couldn't find anything, not even one small branch! But now, I've found a whole tree, well almost!

Each year, the eucalyptus trees in my parking lot get a haircut. 

And apparently that happened this past weekend!

Although the tree service company does a fantastic job of cleaning up, I still was able to collect branches for Lorraine!

And now I have one giant bouquet in my office! It smells so good! I can't wait to see what color your wool turns with all these eucalyptus leaves Lorraine!
