Work Room Wednesday (on Friday)

My sister-in-law brought a big box of vintage yarn to my house on Tuesday. I've been sorting, untangling, and pruning the yarn down. The colors are a bit odd so I'm not sure what I will make with it yet....I'm leaning towards making fiber baskets for my little J's room to store her ponies and horses (or as she says: Pones and Horques)

Etsy Tuesday

This fantastic copper 'P' was made by CopperLeafStudios on Etsy. She was so kind to work with and even attached a bracket so I can hang it on my wall! Now to find the perfect spot...

Fiber Art Monday

In trying to get back to my fiber art roots, I'm knit/crocheting my own banner for craft shows. I've started with some cheap, durable acrylic mixed with sari silk fibers. This isn't the acrylic I use in my hats because it doesn't drape well and is a little itchy. Its perfect for a banner, though :D

Mother's Day and New Plants

These new trees and heart beanies were inspired by a trip to the local garden center! The trees are designed using a circle motif and the cheerful door hanger is a speech bubble proclaiming "hello" and "bye".

Two beanie hats will be included in the collection. One features hearts while the other says "hello"

The Dogwood picked out by my son.

New grass is growing (finally!) in the weird little mud pit in our backyard.

My son grew some dainty pansies for me in his class at school in celebration of Mother's Day, my afternoon cup of coffee, and a new organizer from teepetals.

Yay! and have a Happy Mother's Day!

The Slouch Beanie

The Slouch Beanie in Olive traveled to foreign lands!

I found this old medicine cabinet in the back of my garage, scrubbed years of grime off of it, and made 10 more wash cloths in purple, lime, and country green.

The curtains have been hung!
