Mid-month Update

We are traveling, so internet access is a bit spotty. Bear with me this month! :-) I do have some fun things to share, however.

At the beginning of the month my mother and I went on a massive quilt shop hop, hitting 25 shops in just three days, plus four more a week later! Check out my loot:






There is a large number of various fabrics, kits, notions, and books/magazines in that pile! I can't wait to get started on everything.

Then last weekend we were at a sheep and wool festival, and I took the takhli spinning class I mentioned in my last post. I had a great time and took to it quite well! I'll get pictures up when I get the chance.

I'm currently working on:

The crocheted coat I've mentioned in recent posts. (The back is almost done!)

A crocheted sun hat, all in cotton. (Not handspun cotton, unfortunately.)

An embroidered wool felt candle mat. I've stitched beautiful tulips and leaves onto the mat, now I'm chain-stitching the stems. When I have it stitched and backed I'll post a pic.

I'll be in a car for four hours today, so I should get some more crafting done, but I won't have internet access for at least a few days. Hopefully I'll have some things done the next time I have access and I'll be able to get some new pictures up for you.

Happy crafting!
