A new soft storage basket

As long as i keep making them, they'll keep filling them.

So the red rug turned out to be "beaten too hard" (just getting used to hula hoop tension) and it popped off the loom like a fibre basket unstead.  but the kids...and the cats it seems...are happy that it works well as a cat bed.

MAKE goals 2013

Instead of letting them just roam around in my head, i ought to make a list:
-a wet felted boot tray
-a henhouse out of the old shed at the edge of our property (aka the squirrel's resident)
-needle-felted nativity set
-crochet storage bins to hang above Eily's craft table

I'll probably have more up my sleeve, by say, mid-January.

This list is not to be confused with my shop list which is already as long as my arm.

Animal friends

It was a wildlife weekend: ducks at our feeder, snakes and frogs on our hike, baby squirrels at the front porch.

Saw Whet's garden

To cheer up our kitten/cat, who's house-bound a few more days while his leg adjusts to the removal of the pin that was helping his leg heal after a fracture, a garden inside:

Cobweb crewel

I tried a crewel piece of queen ann's lace for our frame side table and it turned out much too busy. A simple trio of embroidered spider webs and stars looks much better.

A corner

We're loving Eily's new (main floor) craft space:



And here's his latest game invention: divide the living room into different habitats and help the animals find their home. He calls it his movie "set" and i'm liable to find parrots in the houseplants and leopards behind the couch for the next few days.
