Am busy getting crafts finished to sell at the Lakewood Home Tour on November 14th and 15th. I have never done anything like this before so a NEW experience! Here are some of the things I will be selling!
And I finally got around to making some earrings. These are made from felt balls and silk cocoons that I dyed. Had fun making them – will see if anyone is interested in buying them!
Most important thing is that I had fun making them!
Has been raining for weeks now – very unusual for Texas. Good time to get things done indoors but ready for some sun! I find I am able to motivate myself much more easily when the sun is out .
Anyhow I am going to be selling some of my knitting and other fiber art at the Lakewood Home Festival on November 14th and 15th. This past weekend I atmepted more nunofeltng and am pleased with the outcome. The scarf is a combination of blue merino wool and silk hankies that I dyed. Am pretty pleased – it is soft - love the colors. Here it is…..
And a closeup……
A few weeks ago I needlefelted and wet felted this yellow scarf. I dyed the silk scarf a pale green and decided to go with the yellow – more of a spring color but I like the final product.
And one more. I just noticed that ruffles are in this year. My daughter saw a similar scarf at a yarn shop when I was visiting in Seattle – actually a shop in Bellevue. She said she loved it – so I found some similar yarn and knitted it up – pretty easy and really ruffly!
Will post more of my items soon. And BTW I was embarrassed to note that I posted the cute picture of my grandson and me twice! Maybe it is all this rain or just a senior moment!
Here is a cute picture of my granddaughter who lives in CA. Love the little sundress – DH thinks she looks like a cherub with that beautiful blonde hair.
And when my grandson and I were visiting the new Discovery Gardens here in Dallas a neighbor saw us and took this picture.
And here is the cutest picture ever! Our own Halloween vampire! She lost three teeth in the last couple of weeks!
I spent a week in Seattle and just now realized I never blogged about it. Guess Oprah and the cucumbers got me off track!!
Here is a picture of my daughter’s beautiful heirloom tomatoes – the gardening gene has passed on.
And I finally taught Stella how to knit. She was so proud of herself!
Here is a cute picture of S and S and their dog – Mersey – an 18 month old Australian Shepherd.
And finally here is the family waiting for the school bus on the first day of school AND a picture of a very loose front tooth!
See what I mean – definitely growing up too fast.
Cooler days, pumpkins all over the place and Halloween just around the corner. Here are pictures of little Grace at the arboretum.
And here is a birthday cake I made for a friend last week. I made real buttercream frosting – so good and worth the effort! I substituted regular cocoa for dutch processed and found out it wasn’t as good – a little dry and not as flavorful.
I decorated it with a caladium leaf and a penta flower. Will definitely do the buttercream again and will buy some dutch processed cocoa!
Am going to two different garden tours today so need to get going. I will pick and choose gardens from each tour but it is going to be a beautiful day today and this is one of my favorite things to do- will post pictures!
