Club idea

Hey girls! I am thinking of starting a 'club' not sure what to call it yet but the basic idea is : let's meet once a month and hang out doing whatever it is we like to do (eg knitting, crochet, card making, cross stitch, needlepoint, spinning(yarn-not bikes!) we could share recipes, parenting strategies ( not my expertise!) We could meet at our own homes on a rotating basis and make it a potluck so no one has hostessing solely on their shoulders. I would also like to take a small collection (maybe $2 or something) each month and when we have collected enough, donate it to a charity on behalf of our club. I was talking to Shawna today and she is in, so what does every one else think? Let me know if you are interested! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

First knitted project using my own hand spun yarn

This is a scarf and fingerless gloves knitted from my own hand spun yarn. It is navy superwash merino fleece. The yarn turned out fantastic and it was a pleasure to knit with. These were a gift for my sil. I hope she liked them!

Zombies!

Oh my gosh. These guys are so cute. They are from the book Zombie Felties by Nicola Tedman and Sarah Skeate. Neat little guys that are approximately 2 1/2 inches tall. Tiny little creatures that are all hand sewn.

Chess set finished!!!

Finally finished the chess set. I made this to practice making heads. Boy, did I ever get a lot of practice!

New card idea....

A friend of mine gave me this stamp years ago. I love the image. The little tatted edging and this stamp are calling to me (they really do, they all know my name)

Chess set still in progress

Still working on Elinor Peace Bailey's chess set. It is a large undertaking with 32 pieces! I am pressing on though and hope to be done in a week or two so I can move on to some other projects in the studio.

Must love silk!

This is beautifully dyed mulberry silk. It is more difficult to spin than traditional sheep/alpaca roving but I think the end product will be amazing.
