Hello out there in craft land. I’ve been busier than a long
tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs.
And my limited satellite bandwidth makes it hard to blog at
all. I’m hoping to switch to something better but the company I am changing to
has a 2 month wait for installing the service. Talk about a bad infrastructure
out here.
Anyway, my newest project is a crocheted necklace made of
flowers with 5 petals. So far the colors
are red, gray, cream and maybe I’ll add light purple.
In pottery I had a burst of creativity and made a bunch of
things including little dish shapes for a rain chain, a dragon for my
marionette show, a puffy box for storing paint brushes, a twisty vase for
knitting needles, 2 marionette heads, 2 fairy doors and some doll faces and
shoes. Holy cow I’m going to need to slow down and finish some things. I wanted
to go yesterday but I coughed all night. Then I wanted to go today and woke up
with a nasty migraine. Part of the slowdown is I have to give the studio staff
a chance to fire everything. There are
many students now and piles of stuff to fire.
Also, I am doing embroidery on a denim apron. That is slow
going because it makes my hands hurt. I need to start using a thimble (work
smart not hard). I just get lazy about
it.
I also got some red bandanna fabric so I could sew an official
country blouse, now that I live in the country. I haven’t decided on the
pattern though. We shall see.
Now off I go to make all the things. Peace out.
