TRADE INSPIRATION

I am hosting a trade on FIBER ART TRADERS a great online trading group I belong to. We are making a 6 x 6 mini quilt inspired by pictures or elements in the pictures of my South American trip.
I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

A BETTER MONDAY

Well, at last I have the kitchen back and we had a wonderful time this weekend, having 8 guests at home and having my daughter's Bridal Shower. It was beautiful and I will share some of the pictures with you later. It was great having my grandkids home for a few days....I miss them when they are in Connecticut. In a few days we did a lot of things ..we read books, we blew bubbles, had fun baths, went to see the buffalo, went out for icecream, had a bonfire,caught lightning bugs and got a lot of hugs and kisses in!
I will miss them so much!
More pics later!!!

CRAZY!!!!

I am going crazy! I haven't had my kitchen for almost a week due to remodeling...I am getting ready for my son's graduation sunday and my daughter's bridal shower next saturday as well as my son's graduation party the friday before.
I also wanted to get something done for both a Woolfest show and also something to enter in our Canfield Fair coming up Labor Day weekend. Well, it's tall order but I am trying to do it all..I did get the stuff to the Woolfest...now working on 2 wallhangings designed by me . I may share bits of it here when I get a chance to use my home PC again ( kitchen and bathroom downstairs is inaccessible right now.)
Thea, your package is going out today...
Bare with me, I will be back to normal soon....

FELTING IN BRASIL

I thought I would share with you some of what I did in Brasil. I brought a bunch of wool roving to show my nephews Gedan and Dash and my sister Daniela how to do that. The kids loved making little creatures and mys ister did a felted piece as I did. My Dad who is an artist( paintings) could not resist the idea of this new material and technique and spent days and days making his own wallhanging. He did a superb job and I will be entering it in a local show!.

I AM BACK!

Hi everyone...as you know I was away for one month to visit family and friends in Uruguay and Brasil...It was a fantastic trip, very emotional and very creative for me. I will try to post as much as I can....and of course I owe all the felting friends my second phase of the felted piece which I am hoping to enter at a local WOOLFEST this June...

This little embroidery work from CrabAppleHill I made for my sister. I had no idea that you were suppossed to use crans inside to color, so I colored it in with thread! She had a pillow made of it....It was fun to do...

WORKING ON A NEW FELTED PIECE

I don't yet know where I am going with this piece...I decided to start and keep working on it as things come to my mind...So here's the beginning...
