Where is the time going?

I can't believe how fast the time is going. I am still trying to get the house in order from the move and knowing in the back of my head that the holiday shows are right around the corner. I have been knitting but have not felted anything, so nothing much to show except for this pile that will hopefully turn into beautiful purses, credit card holders, washcloths and knitting

needle holders

If all turns out well (the joy of felting, never quite knowing for sure what you might get) the chocolate brown becomes a felted messenger bag

Washcloths

I also need to work on my mosaics but it is icky hot outside and I have NO desire to go out in 100 degree weather.

Look at the pictures my daughter took of the hot air balloons that take off every morning from the valley. Pretty cool. Nice pictures Jennifer.

I was also very lucky and tied for first in blackout bingo from the Virtual Vacation Swap

www.virtualvacationswap.blogspot.com/ I just received four skeins of Knit Picks Crayon in red and two wonderful bars of Lime Margarita handmade soap (smells wonderful) from Sharon at http://www.soaps-n-stuff.com/ . Go by and check out her wonderful soaps. How very lucky I am! Thank you, Anne, Jessica and Sharon.

Take care everyone and enjoy your weekend

Show and Tell

Thought I would share the things that I sent to my swap buddy for the Spring Felted Bag Exchange. I made a few of the items. The napkins that you have seen earlier in the blog, I felted the blue and black striped change purse with the flower, the embroidered felt ladybug pincushion and I also made the felted knitting needle holder with the three red flowers. I was really happy with how that turned out. It's a nice way to keep you needles together and to keep them from getting scratched.






So tell me what you think...



Take care

Apology

Okay how goofy am I, I didn't get it. I thought I was swapping with Lia and that she was swapping with me and I thought she was confused about who her partner was but it was me the whole time. LOL. I'm so confused so I need to apologize to my swap buddy and I would like to say thank you for all my wonderful things. I must be getting old. So again whoever you are THANK YOU!


A flower just for you ....whoever you are?
