Fiber on the Rock/sponge


Well today was an unexpected fun day for me. Kept looking at that rock/sponge and thought, it need something else, something was missing, etc. etc. Finally dawned on me it needed some kewl fiber to make me excited. I knew I wanted warm colors and looked through my stash of yarn and didnt have the right one, so I make my own out of several color's I had. It was great fun to play with the fiber and now it looks much better to me and ready to go. Hope you like it too.

Love days like this.

Neighbors New Pets


Well now look at what our neighbor Tom found on the side of his house, baby coyotes.
They are so dang cute, he said he has an eye on them, maybe we'll get more pictures of them growing up.

Just had to share.

Bottom of Sponge


Glued the back of the sponge with a navy ultra suede fabric I had in my stash.

Next will be the beading part.

Wont be for awhile I"m sure, but its all ready to go.

Wrapping the Sponge


Wrapped the sponge in Warm and Natural Batting and then wrapped it in Muslin.

Sponge/Rock/New Project


Well as I am this type of person, another NEW PROJECT, is in the works.

A new Beaded Rock, a/k/a Sponge!


I really wanted to bead a rock, but because ARTHUR doesn't like to hold heavy rocks a friend on BAD suggested a sponge, how kewl is that. So Ed, my d/h gave me his sponge for washing the car. I was so excited, just a little sponge, yup, but it will mean a lot to me as it was his and I"m doing this project. I"m posting how I started this so you can see if you would like to do your own rock someday. I sure hope it works out the way I plan for it to work out. I really dont know when I can start this, but at least its started. This picture is of the sponge that I started out with.

Enjoy the process.

ART


Well I ran into a shop because I was early for lunch and look what I found, a new basket.
To me it was pure ART. There isn't much in life that I have to have, well except beads, but I had to have this.

Right now its on my living room table, but it could easily be on the kitchen table too or on the wall somewhere, lots of uses for this.

Halina Framed


Here is Halina framed. She was a "Bead a Long" on my Beaded Art Yahoo group, the challenge was the use of the color yellow which most gals dont like, for me, it wasn't a problem, I love yellow.
Hope you like her.

UFO done

Here is another UFO just completed this week. It was a Fiber Bag class by Rowena Tank here in Prescott, Arizona. I think I took the class about two years ago. I'm determined to get all my UFO's DONE this year.

This was done with fibers on a loom, learned about Warp, Weft, Tabby, Shed Stick, Beating etc etc. Then the fiber ends that stuck out were all hand beaded. There is a LOT of beading on this purse. A great learning experience for sure.

Blue Scrap Sweater

Here is my other passion, knitting.

This is a scrap sweater I'm making for myself in light, medium and dark blue's. I thought the blue's would be great to wear with jeans. I just took about two yards of each color and tied them together and am knitting away.

I have no idea how it will turn out, the fun of it all!

Color Inspiration


Boy, doesn't COLOR just give you 'inspiration to create', it sure does for me.

How YUMMY are these color's!

Skull


Some of my BAD friends wanted to see my Skull thats been outdoors for a couple years.
He waiting for a certain person to bead him, but she hasn't gotten around to him yet!

Flowers


Well its been a pretty Spring here in Prescott, a little cooler than normal but the warmer weather will be here in no time.

Here is a picture of my Lambs Ear that came back from last year, its doing so well just had to share.

Sweet Peas


And some sweet peas that came up from last year.
I have no idea if they reseed themselves, or are they just the roots from last year.
There up very early, maybe someone will tell me.

Cactus Blooming


Thought you would enjoy seeing a Cactus that is blooming in the kitchen window, its from a friend of mine, its the best cactus, blooms every couple of months.

UFO - Cuff


And here is another Cuff done.

More UFO's


Well its gorgeous here in Prescott, over 70 here today and we spent most of the day on the deck.
The flowers sure love this cooler weather. I've had a tomato plant in the house and it went outside today for a 'sun tan', he is very happy now!

Here's some UFO's I got done this week. More to do next week!
