Wool Project Search

These cute cards are a give away at http://honeygirlstudio.blogspot.com/ They are handmade . Stop by and visit, just leave a comment, but I'm sure they want to visit my studio. LOL This is a very neat blog and a super creative artist.

I got my order from Alpha Stamps and I have all kind of ideas whirling in my head. I hope to get some studio time this week. I do have a lot of days off coming up, so ... maybe.

I have been purchasing a lot of wonderful hand dyed wool, and I'm wanting something to do with it. Something small to start out with some applique. Where to search? Any ideas out there. The background wool I ordered is a dark brown, almost black. It's a really rich color. I ordered a folkart pattern for a table runner, and I love it, but ... I'm afraid to start out with something so big now. I love hand stitching, but I need to practice the blanket stitch, it never looks very uniform any suggestions on that. Until later, Hug, :o) P

Redwork Christmas

Well I missed Whatcha Workin' On Wednesday, so I'm posting what I've got done recently. I sewed up two of my redwork pillows and painted some peppermint candies. The peppermints were the team effort from http://www.brensbusyhands.blogspot.com/ and I. Stop over and visit, she's always working on something cute and prim. She is a very talented seamstress and prim artist. I can only sew straight lines and not that well. Giggle. But, I can paint. Her and I can turn out most anything if we set our minds to it.
I'm feeling a little "flubsy" today. LOL Hmmm ... could it be I ate like a horse yesterday, last night and breakfast. Geez. I'm glad that's over. Everything was delicious, and we had a great time. Lot's of friends and extended family dropped by ... I think baby "M" was the attraction, but it was still fun and great to see everyone. Miss "M" handles the paparazzi like a trooper.
Tomorrow, my daughter, granddaughter and great grandbaby are going on our Christmas shopping extravaganza. We have decided to go to Jordan Creek in Des Moines. We are getting a motel room extremely close and that will make it fun and less stressful. We'll travel home Sunday. I love our shopping days, I just hope it's productive. Well, I consider the Christmas season officially kicked off, so I'll be getting back to you on my return. Hugs :o) P
