Whooters!

Whoot!
Whoot!
Whoot!

Whooters!

Aren't they cute?
I've heard that 
Tangled Threads in Lynden, Wa.
has a wonderful version of this piece.
I think I need to see it - in person...
Field trip!

Spring!

It feels like Spring today!
Warm air - sunshine
Quick!
Go outside and breathe
Look at the little buds on the trees
and check out the flowers.
Wow!
Sure was a long time coming...
 Oh, Sweet!
Easter color wool roving.
Wonder what is waiting to be created from these sweet colors.

In response to Kissing Tommy...

Childhood memories...
Aren't they fun?
My special friend at age 4
was Robbie...
Isn't he cute?
 I sure thought so.
Look at his cowboy shirt and the little metal doo-dads on his pants.
Wow!
Wonderful!

Kitty! Kitty! Kitty!

My cat is so independent...
Most folks don't know I have one.
She's the indoor variety.
As she's aged she's mellowed a bit.
But, still not a snuggler
unless 
it's night time.
Then, she curls up next to me and snores.
My craft/sewing/hobby room is almost workable.
To prove it - 
I made this kitty named
Denny
.
Made with bits and pieces found in the clean-up process.
No! Denny is not kid-friendly because of the
vintage button eyes...
Not everything has to be about children.
Although, my life does seem to revolve around them.
Ahhhh...
That room is getting where it needs to be and
in the process of de-stashing 
I'm clearing my head and creating too!
Life is good.

Me

She looks how I feel...
And for no particular reason!

De-stash

De-stash
ahhhhhh....
It feels so good.
To let go...
Let go of books and crafts
that I have loved...
but for one reason or
another
I'm not going to do
"that" 
anymore...
or
I know how to do or make 
"that" 
now and don't
need the paper instructions that go with the process.
Lovely.
Crochet is this week's de-stash...
Amazingly old crochet instruction books
and maybe some tatting








Someone is going to love 
making some of these old potholders
and reinventing uses
for 
Crinoline Ladies.
I'm sure of it.
Just holding the old paper makes 
me think twice and maybe thrice
about letting these go
but....
I know these hands have crocheted
enough....

Pouf!

Pouf!
I was directed to this site
While perusing this site
I think I'm in love...

I'm going to kick my way into my hobby room and
apply some creativity to the mountains of fabric,
ribbons, beads and baubles,
and wool roving I have stacked in there.
Come join me....

Competition is not the journey or the goal...
Creativity is.
These women just sparked my creativity.
I hope...
I'll let you know with a post of a new creation.
Wow!
That sounds like a bit of a commitment.
Happy creating to you!
