Chris' Blocks

Chris chose the multi-colored leaf patterned fabric. When some fabric is leftover from making the first block, it is fun to put together another. Can't wait to see the rest.

Blocks with Purple Batik

These are the blocks I made for Wanda using her chosen fabric - a dark purple that looks as though it is hand dyed. I look forward to seeing the other quilters' blocks as well as Wanda's finished product.

BeAdS

Decorating large wood beads with a wood burning tool is fun while watching boring TV shows and winding down for sleep time.

Altered Knitted Wall Hanging Thing

When all else fails, knitting with sock leftovers somehow brings me back around. Knitting doesn't hurt the arms and neck if I don't work too long. Better every day. And thankful.

Love Doll

Idea taken from Stitch Alchemy by Kelli Perkins, this little voodoo doll is made from dark fabric paper and lots of found objects, beads and fibers scrounged from all my boxes and drawers. She was the focus of my best energies for a few days and now I think she might be my muse.

Exotic

Trying to keep up with the "Take a Word" blog sharing.

This is the nearest I can come up with for the word

"exotic." It's not, but somehow to me, it is.

The collage created itself one day when the

blue dog tags landed on the tractor seat photo

beside the pile of zen rocks image. I attached

them all to a piece of elephant dung paper.

Hmmmm. Exotic.

Snow Artist

The sun was perfect this morning to capture my dog's "angel" art. Almost every day he rolls in the snow and I think he likes the way it amuses me.
