Baby booties?

Baby booties?
That's what happens when my creative friend, Lavona, comes over! We were either going to make chickens, dogs, flowers, purses or just work on our dolls. Lavona has been taking my private lessons and really needs to finish up her doll! Maybe next time.
Anyways, I have had this book on felting sitting here for three years or so. Maybe not that long but anyways.
So we settled on baby booties. Well - we did them smaller to be doll booties but I am afraid mine turned out too thick and short and they might fit a dog foot.
After she left I wanted to make another pair that was bigger. You see, I think this would be a GREAT project to teach for young moms.....so I had to try them.
They took a couple of hours to do. Not bad for a beginner. Now I have to see if they are functional. I am sending them off to Ablemabel so LouLou can do her 500 in them. We'll see what her mother says about them. May have to tweak the pattern.

Weekend away with friends.

What else do you do when you go up north with friends besides:
Eat!

Eat and take pictures of food.

Shop!

Show it off!
Snooze.
Fun times.

Dyeing Day

While my blazer, jacket and shirt are simmering on the stove....and the other two jackets are hanging to dry out in the porch....and the buttons for my Alice dress are cooling off...the clay I ordered is on it's way here!!....I should keep cleaning this studio...
So my "yellow" jacket turned out "pumpkin orange" and my "green" jacket turned out sort of blackish brownish greenish...love it! The plum jackets and shirt are still undecided if they will be blackish plumish or plumish blackish.
Will post a picture when they all dry.
Maybe my studio will get cleaned up unless I start another project...

And the winner is...

Eeeek!! The giveaway!!

What day is it??? Did I say you had until the end of the day on WEDNESDAY?? And today is THURSDAY??
I have been cleaning my studio (you would too if you were having Swedish company tomorrow), ordering more clay, putting away jewelry making stuff, washing clothes, dyeing clothes....????
S'cuse me while I jump up to stir the yellow pot on the stove. At least if it boils over it will match my counter tops.
Yes, fall is coming and I don't want any white left in my closet. Besides don't you think three white jackets is too many?
One is turning yellow, one green and that tan one I always wear....maybe I can do it plum, gray, black...we'll see.
Anyways back to the giveaway...
Thanks so much for commenting all of you. I hope to do this again!
Will get the names now and put them in a hat and draw out one!
