half a dozen or so

the DH has given me another "project"

This is a very nice, gently worn Levi jacket, circa 1970s that he no longer wears

It has a nice sort of tapered shape (which, he says, is the problem, it doesn't fit him well anymore)

So now there are two "recycle" pieces on the back burner -- the one that "speaks" to me first will get done first -- a theme is required before I start in on these things


two pair of earrings complete!

the purple ones have a snowflake obsidian bead in the center

the black ones are all glass

I'll be moving on to the purple necklace of these medallions next -- haven't figured out how to put that all together or how to put a clasp on it yet, but I can think about that as I work on the medallions




Here is my second version of the Mason Dixon Knitting sunflower wash rag

only one row of petals on this one, but I did a 2 color diagonal stripe for the center

I like it!

Now on to the idea of making this into a hotpad!!





Yesterday afternoon I took some time to play with the newly acquired materials for doing needle felting

Ta Da!

My first piece of work

yellow apple

this really was a lot easier than I thought it would be to do




So, you're thinking "why am I seeing another one of those "lab animals"?"

Well, one of the main reasons I wanted to play with the needle felting, was to see what I could use it for on bears and other critters

this is the before picture








and this is the after

can you belief this is the same bear!!!!!?????

I can suddenly see a lot of possibilities for doing things that I haven't been able to figure out how to do in other ways

(and this was definately one of those "Did I do that?" moments as well)

can't wait to try some more stuff!!
