little crochet projects, but embroidery seems to be calling my name next. Im into anything that can be thrown into a totebag and taken outside. (that would nix sewing on the sewing machine)

Felted wool purses in spring colors- from sweaters, of course, little baby toys from the scraps, knitted dishcloths- because you can't stop making them once you start, my doll for the doll swap- still on the paper I drew her on, but about to become a reality! (And just in the nick of time too!) Plus, getting outside and seeing everything in bloom gives my creative parts a bit of a jump-start. Changing colors, beautiful blossoms, things popping up in various stages...It's a beehive of activity out there! Who couldn't be inspired by that?

Spining hand dyed silk, crocheting a large tote bag that will be felted and then embellished to carry to the farmers market, Hand stamping "Thank You" cards for my customers to tuck into their packages when I ship them out, silk rods are on the stove in the dye pots, and I will be making more stich markers. I am not sure what I will be doing tomorrow but at least I know what I have planned for today. Inspiration is sometimes slow but when it comes it can wash us away. Enjoy!

I haven't been doing much in the way of crafts lately. Can't seem to get motivated for that, but I have been redoing my dining and living rooms this winter/spring. Painted the living room and the dining room trim, then put up new wallpaper...roosters of course! Then put up wainscotting and a border. It really changes the whole feel of the house, I love it!!
Now I'm just in the mood to clean out everything for spring. Open up the windows and air out the place!!
I'd rather live my life with a "full plate" than an empty one. Life is not a rehearsal... eat up! |

embroidery has caught ahold of me again this winter, also making tea towels and pot holders from a pattern I bought at clotilds (fun to make with any fabric you like) I always have a quilt in progress, and I'm teaching quilting in 4H.

| Purses, totes, with lots of pockets and buttons. Easter cards made with vintage German scrap, polka dot fabrics, and buttons. And pastel-colored gift 'cones' hanging on ribbon and bedecked with crepe paper medallions and buttons. (I always add buttons!) |
