Three Blind Mice.......


....well, actually 4. I ran out of 3mm onyx beads, I have 2mm and 4mm.....no 3mm. I toyed with running out to see if I could find some plastic ones. Between my desire for nice glass,agate or onyx and not want to chance falling on the ice I went searching for them on the web. Now I'm waiting on my Merry Mailman to come today in hopes that they have arrived in Branford from Wisconsin. These little guys need to make the trip to Long Island when they are done. I'll also be listing one in my Etsy shop later this evening.

Stay warm!

Leave Me Alone, I Want to Dye.......


.....what better way to warm up a cold kitchen. A dye pot on the stove has a dual purpose....keeps me warm and builds my inventory. So much better than dyeing when it's hazy, hot and humid.

I hope you have a fun and creative way to stay warm!

Feeling a Little Sheepish????


Happy New Year!
I know, it's almost the 15th and I'm a little late. But I'm not late for my Valentine update on the Primitive Gathering. Stop by and take a look at my new little friends.

I hope you are all well and staying warm!

December 1st on the Primitive Gathering


I'll be updating on the 1st this coming month instead of the 15th.....enough time to fill orders and get them shipped by Christmas.

Silver Bells will be there with her bunny.....a few santas and a set of snowboys. Be sure to join us bright and early!!!

Baa Baa Black Feet........


...take me for a ride. The Owls are off on their Midnight Ride and I had just enough jersey left to make another Pumpkin Head. As we are off to Rhinebeck in a few weeks, I decided I needed a "showpiece". The only problem is, I like him so much I don't want to let him go.The sheep took a full day to make, each curl has been needlefelted to his body, it makes me smile every time I look at it and I love the way he feels.

Hope to see you there!!

Worst Blogger Award...................


............I'm expecting it any day now.

I've been so busy sewing, dyeing and filling orders and trying to stay far away from the computer. I tend to get lost and waste a ridiculous amount of time when I get on it.Of course, then I wonder why I'm so far behind schedule.
