Fall?

It is nearing the end of September and here in Colorado Springs (and most of the front range of Colorado for that matter) it is HOT and DRY! No rain has fallen in 3 weeks and temperatures have been in the 80's and 90's. Instead of cutting back from frost and waiting until the right time to plant bulbs and garlic we are watering to keep things from dying before they have a chance to go dormant! You can almost feel Fall in the air but can't quite smell it through the dust.

I have been working away creating some fall inspired pieces and wanted to share a couple with you today. Hope you like them :-)

There is Still Time!

Just an update: there is still time to buy items from my Etsy Shop and get them by Christmas! The shipping deadlines for USPS for both 1st class and Priority Mail are Dec 21st which is next Monday. And with that note I want to share my newest Acorn Bowl with you:


















Thanks for Looking!

Who doesn't love an acorn?

Thanks to Cheyenneb for the custom order of an acorn bowl and 12 oz. Klean Kanteen Cozy. I don't have a picture of the felted cozy yet, but I will post one when I do! I love the colors she choose.
I also finished a set of small black nesting bowls by needle-felting periwinkle blue flowers in them. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
Thanks for Looking!

New Listings As Promised

I had a problem with my hands not far back and the doc thought it might be attributed to them being in water a lot because of the felting ( I didn't bother to mention that I am also the primary dishwasher in our household not to mention child bather and garden waterer). Anyhow, because of this I decided to change gears a bit and knit different things that don't require shrinkage. I love arm warmers and seeing as they are so packable to boot I have been knitting them like crazy. This newest pair is out of the wonderful silver-blue yarn again. I had terrible results trying to felt with it (even though the package said it was felt-able) and was holding onto it just waiting for the right project. When I started to knit with it I found that it was so incredibly soft and springy! So even though it failed in the felting department it turned out to be wonderful for things next to the skin. This set of arm warmers is knit in seed stitch giving them interesting texture.


I have also tried to put together a collection of items to needle-felt down the road so I pulled out my box and found some inspiration. Here is the first I have listed tonight. I love the acorn bowls and decided it had been awhile since I listed one.

New!

Once again I had a beer cozy epiphany. Why don't I make cozies in Sports Team Colors? After all people love to drink beer and watch the game all decked out in team spirit so why shouldn't their beers get to dress up too? So my first listing in my Etsy store is for a pair of Denver Bronco Cozies in Orange and Blue. These would make a terrific Christmas gift for the sports fan who has everything! I also listed a new coffee cozy in Brown and Orange and an Acorn bowl.
