felt earrings

These earrings are difficult to see - i've got to get better with my photos! I'm trying to find a use for scraps of felting by using them with beads and fibres to make earrings.

Felted Leaves

I've been using my new embellisher to make felted leaves!

spring wrap

This could either be a wall hanging or a wrap. The inside layer is made with silk fibres, then over top is silk chiffon and then merino wool, all felted together. It is quite heavy and would be very warm.

Spring Collection - skirt

I'm trying to make different styles of skirts. This one is in "panels"

Spring Collection Shawl

I did my spring collection in flowers. This was featured in the window of the gallery for March.

From Disney to San Diego Zoo

We had a wonderful trip!

Disneyland

I love Disneyland. We decided to take our 2 youngest girls on a family trip to Disneyland and San Diego Zoo. It was a wonderful trip. When i'm at Disneyland, the creativity that is involved in even just dreaming up how to create such a fantasy land amazes me. I could just sit in the middle and feel the energy spark me!

finished room(s)

So this is how it looks finished!

New Living Room!

We did the living/dining room only - it took us a week.........

I'm back!

After our late Christmas i seem to be caught in a hurricane!! We've been painting and decorating so i wanted to share our results!

it's Xmas!

No pics to post. If i cant scan them, or find them already in the computer, then i'm at a loss still..... I'm not booking any shows or fairs for the first part of 2009 so i hope i'll have time to improve on my computer skills. My time has been busy updating my neglected home and preparing for xmas and company. all my girls come home for xmas and it's a wonderful time, and now Cathy and all the boys are coming too and we are so excited. We've had 10 below weather the past few days brrrrr! We bought a hot tub from neighbours that were moving and it's been so wonderful sitting outside on the deck in the hot water, with the cool air, overlooking the lights of Nelson village shining and sparkling on the lake water. I'm planning to get some Xmas prezzies made this week. I've just finished painting 2 bathrooms! One is turquoise blue and green with a sponged "wave" running along the walls. I glued plastic "bubbles" onto the wall and accented with blue and green glass. It looks like a spa!! The other bathroom is lime green with purple and has TINKERBELL border and stickers and accents!! I LOVE that bathroom! My purple damask wallpaper and orange damask wallpaper arrived, so i need to plan the living room, how to work the wallpaper in with the pink and purple paint i have purchased for it! We haven't had our own house for so long, i'm having fun "decorating"!!!

I'm Back!

I had a wonderful show and 2 weeks of travels and am happy to be home. I still have 2 more shows this coming weekend so i'm not quite finished yet. I've got to start on my Xmas gifts very soon!!! I got a magazine and my youngest who turned 15 yesterday did the tutorial and i really like the pic!
I hope i get blogging more now that i'm home.
