Pillows, pillows, pillows, and more pillows

I finally finished all the standard size pillow shams for church! I'd love to say that that means I'm finished with the project, but I still have two body pillows to make covers for. Other than being some what time...

Feelin' blocky

The super-secret surprise is blocking. I ended up running 5 cycles in the wash, but only because I had to go out for a while and it sat in the washer getting wrinkled while I was gone. I hope the...

The last cycle

I just started the washer for what I think is the last time felting the super-secret surprise. And it seems to be working! So far, the size, shape, and proportion are looking good. And the cascade is felting nicely. I...

Signs of the times...

I'm working on a bag right now. It's not even for the Spring Felted Bag Exchange. It's a surprise. I think only one person knows what it is and what it's for. And I'm REALLY excited about it. I figure...

At least I'll have a clean basement floor...

I've spent the last two mornings cleaning up after the dog. She's having some sort of bowel problem. I don't want to gross anyone out with the details, but I'm beginning to think that she's got the same infection she...

Finding my center

I specialized in ceramics when during my undergraduate degree in Art Education. I loved getting dirty and working with clay. One of the things about throwing on the wheel that fascinated me was centering the clay. If you didn't get...

I think I might have finished typing the last entry and posted it before it stopped raining. Apparently all I have to do is complain about the rain on my blog and it magically disappears. I'm thankful. And not just...

A stash in jeopardy

Ok, I think I must be the only knitter with this problem. Not only do I not have any UFO's (unfinished objects), I have a dwindling stash. I don't have anything on my needles, either. I have yarn for socks...
