Felting

November & December kits from ScrapGoods uses the technique of felting. We received some templates to make a flower, but I wanted to see what I could do. So I made a blue bird with a red wing.

Here's the blue bird in progress:



And then making the wing:



And then the end product.




I decided I wanted a wispy tail & end of wing. It was fun. I really enjoy this technique, and am so happy I also got several other colors of wool. I'll sew a bead on for an eye and cut out a felt beak. Then I plan to felt a limb for it to sit on!!

Only one thing to say....

Breast Cancer Awareness

My best friend and neighbor was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this month....in the same breast that was treated 13 years ago (lumpectomy). After all the scans, x-rays, MRIs, blood tests & such, I took her to the hospital last Tuesday for a mastectomy.

Luckily, it was caught early & no lymph nodes needed to be removed. She is home, cancer free - again - and no chemotherapy!!

How blessed we are that she will be with us many, many more years.

My SS came through!!

Yup, I got the entire paper set of Basic Grey Euphoria....I am soooooo happy!!

On Saturday, I was elated to receive papers that had luster and shimmer and I was blessed to receive arcadia, helio, utopia and elysian fields. I was in a ferver and frenzy trying to figure out where it all came from. It was with madness and delirium that I went into my trance.

When I awoke I was cool and in rhapsody when I realized that my secret sister felicity had sent me a gift.

Euphoria was spread out all around me. Now I am fondling all these lovely Basic Grey papers and am very euphoric!!
