New Felt Goodies

Stopped at the Sal/val on the way home from work and jackpot on the sweaters! After felting them I was inspired to make more pincushions and covered tape measures.

Some of the tape measures match up with a pincushion. I thought they would go together.

I also tried my hand at felt booties. I used Heather Bailey's Bitty Bootie pattern.


I have so many ideas for more, but just need the time. Someday.....

Busy Hands are Happy Hands

And boy oh boy were my hands happy this weekend. My mother had some odd teacups that she picked up at flea markets along with two adorable little salt dips. So I was busy turning them into pincushions. I am very happy with the way they turned out. Now, I have four more pincushions for the craft fair on March 15th.
Sunday is flying by and the time change does not help the situation. I know I will soon be enjoying that extra daylight, but right now it is a little unsettling.
Tonight's the finale of The Wire on HBO. It has been such a good series that I hate to see it end. I just hope David Simon and Ed Burns have something else in the works.
I am going to go settle into some big time knitting for the rest of the day. Have a good week.

A Wonderful Work Week

We worked Monday with a 2 hour delay, had snow days on Tuesday and Wednesday and now another 2 hour delay for Thursday. I think we may have to work a full day on Friday, hope I can survive?! Needless to say this week flew by in a flash.
I was able to make some more items for the March craft fair:

The bookmarks are, of course, inspired by the fabulous Fieltromania.
Let me know what you think.

Monday Monday

You've been busy my dear partner! I think I will give the book a try. I love Fanny Flagg.
I was busy too - what else to do with all of our weather problems up here in the frigid north? We woke up to snow Saturday morning and Sunday morning ! (that is not the preferred weekend weather!) Abbie ended up in a ditch Saturday night so Mike sat with her until the wee hours of the morning until the wrecker arrived, it was not a good thing. She's fine and so is the car.
I was able to make two pincushions for the craft fair in March.
What do you think?


We are all looking forward to getting together on Tuesday for lunch to celebrate Penny's birthday.
Enjoy your Monday.
