Craft Group Day

When the wind caused the power to go out, the school closed. We enjoyed having Jess join our craft group today. Here are the results of our needle felting efforts: a tropical hummingbird (Jess), Santas (Shirley and Kyla) and a final garland (Carolyn).

Felted Snowflakes

Still having fun needle felting, and this time I decided to add some embroidery floss embellishments. With wool and floss colors, there are many color combinations to choose from!

Christmas Fairs

I've been working all week on sea glass and beach stone jewelry for the local Holiday Arts Market at the Artists Guild.  My back and fingers are sore, but everything is ready to go to the Guild tomorrow!

Garlands for the Season

This garland one is made of apples, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks and rose hips. The stars were felted separately. It's all on wreath wire. The idea came from PBS, a program with P. Allen Smith.Try nuts, pasta, fruits and veggies that will dry out. Have fun!

Knitted Christmas Balls

I found some great patterns for knitted Christmas Tree ornaments.  They knit up quickly and look great.  A very good way to use up small bits of extra homespun yarn.
