What I've been doing.

A little painting, a little sewing, and a little trimming.

Detail of mixed media on canvas board.

A different shape.

My best one yet. If I can figure out the measurements I might even surprise you and make a hat!





Simplicity is the removal of the useless and the unnecessary--source unknown

I don't know where yesterday went, but it went.

I've finally got my energy back and the workshop has been busy.
But first, here's my felted egg cosy. I felted it by hand, which was long and laborious, so the rest of the cosies are in today's laundry. Let's see what the machine can do. I embroidered it with bullion knots and as it turned out, this side of it looks like a face!

 For my friend Sandra who taught me how to knit these sweet little egg cosies, among other things, when I was in Wales a short while ago.

They are waiting to be felted. I tried felting a couple of them by hand, rather than in the washing machine, as per her instructions, and it's working.
