I haven't forgotten....

But I've been busy. Disney World for six days. I came back, got sick, surprised my sister and now I'm leaving for Quilt Market on Wednesday. I haven't done anything artsy. I will update later......

Quilt blocks, scarves and doodahs

I'm currently working on some nine patches for quilts for a friend's three sons. They're going through a family crisis, and my friend thought it would be nice if the boys could have quilts. So, the yahoo group I am on is making blocks to make each little boy a quilt. I've only got one done so far, but I'll post the other two later.
This one is Garradyn's. He's five:


I also just finished a scarf:

I don't know what I'm going to do with it. Maybe I'll sell it. Its about 3 inches wide, and 54 inches long(it's folded in half here).

We also ordered some Doodahs from Studio Pashnada. They have some really cool stuff, besides the doodahs, so everyone should check it out. They are really nice people, and ship things very fast. Their prices are great.
Here's a slightly bad picture of them:

I think I might use them on clothes or purses, or maybe even some jewelry. They aren't all mine, some of them are mom's.

This one is for my friend. We are going to be making a throw/lap quilt for her:

Leaves, Jewelry, and Weaving

Here's a small quilt that I'm working on:



It's made with a hand-dyed charm square I bought from my mom, some hand dyed cheese cloth, some angelina fibers and some hand dyed trim. It's hard to get a good picture, because the angelina reflects everything.
I also finished some earrings and a bracelet a while ago, and I have no clue what to do with them. The bracelet is for me, I know that. They aren't perfect, but they look okay. They are made with glass beads, silver wire and silver plated hooks. All the wire swirls and such, I did by hand with plyers(no jig).






I just took this off the loom. The Warp threads were messed up. Whoever set up the thing did a horrible job. The tension was totally messed up. This was my first piece on my mini-loom that mom's friend Vicki gave me. Its about two inches wide. I did every bit except for the white and red stripes in the far upper right corner. There are close-ups farther down.






I got a scathingly brilliant idea last night around midnight for a poetry altered book sorta thing. I've just gotta figure it all out. I need to start drawing my ideas out, or at least writing them down.....Enjoy!!!!

Welcome
