WINTER SKIES




I really enjoy doing these little works of art, and birch trees are my favorite... Can you tell???! VBG!
My method here is planning the scene with wool rovings, and wool felt, then....I punch the fibres in to the backing, applying embroidery and some beads along with a little bit of Angelina fibre to finish the scene.
Fabric Postcards are one way of satisfying your need to do something creative in a small way.
The finished piece really packs a punch I think. Hope you enjoy seeing them.
Soon I will have some in my Etsy Shop.
I have to bond with them for a little while before I can let them go.;-}

PROUD CANADIAN









Here are some pictures of the ice skating event. Hope you enjoy them






I have been enjoying the Winter Olympics on TV. My fave is the figure skating....

Tonight our Canadian team won the Ice dancing and received the "Gold" medal... I wouldn't be a proud Canadian if I wasn't excited about it.It is the first time Canada has won
gold in the ice dancing . The United States team won Silver and that was equally exciting as the two teams train to-gehter and are good friends. It was so exciting to see them on the podium along with the Russian pair who took the Bronze medal.All performances were exceptional..

Let's Get Going!

Hi everyone...
Have you all recovered from the excitement of Lisa's One World One Heart event.????Wasn't that fun!

I met so many friendly people on my Magic Carpet ride. I hope to eventually visit each of you as time permits.

I have been quietly working away at various projects. The one I am posting to-day is a large tote bag, 24"x24" I made for a friend celebrating her 81st birthday. Should have had my camera with me, but I forgot it!! darn. Anyway we took "Lou" out for lunch and presented her with the bag. She Loved it .. It was a fun day..

Her is a picture of the bag.
