Victorian Mourning or Jazzy Night Out

Those Victorians had a good thing going:  jewelry for any occasion!

More Tea?

Yes, Downton Fever strikes again!  The perfect  hat for a cup of tea made with a silk mix and velveteen and  a nuno felted pin for flair.  The scarf is so you won't catch a chill- it can be switched up to wear as a shrug.  Made with a wool and sterling silver blended yarn and pewter buttons.  Surely you would like to join me in a cup of  Lady Grey?

Doin' It Downton Style!

On Good Friday I had 3 large boxes of luscious fabrics dropped off at my door step!  Since my computer has been down. I've been channeling my inner Downton Abbey.  Making hats and dreaming of lovely tea parties.  More hats to come!  This hat is made in velveteen and has a rose made from a zipper.  I am having a good time.  

Water Dreams

Shawl hand knit in a free form style. With various yarns.

Dreaming of floating  away on streams of flowing water.  Far, far, away to places of sun and sand.  Where all you hear is the water moving and the birds overhead.                                            

When Life spirals out of control- I remember:

"There must be quite a few things a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them."- Sylvia Plath

Garden in My Mind

As the mud season approaches, the garden in my mind flourishes.  Petals drop together to form a bowl. Fabric bowl with  thread painting and a fresh clementine.

And Butterflies are Free to Fly...

Thinking Spring Again!  Butterfly made from fibers and wire stitched together on a felted and beaded daffodil  -background knitted mohair "grass".
