Well the summer break, as always, started off way too late for me and then it has been at times (well what I think anyway!) brutally hot and sticky with no relief at all, all day or nite!! I finally manged to plant a few of my veggies,(yes still have a couple I hope to still get in!!) which are trying desperately to hang on between the extreme heat, humidity, wild rains and storms that have rolled thru at times! One time being just yesterday, with lots of wind damage and such! I am happy to say the weather people are saying cooler this week and dry for a change!! YIPPEE!!!
So .....I have been busy even though I haven't told you all! I have been washing and dyeing new fleeces (I have at least 18 at last count I think!!) and posted new goodies to my etsy shop and LOTS of pics to flickr that I didn't announce here either !! :(( Sorry!!
I did a dye day with the Medina guild I belong to which was lots of fun and also a natural dye day with my friends from my local guild here in Lorain County that was great fun and food too!! so lots of pics of those posted for you to see!! I took a fabulous fun felting class yesterday with Pamela MacGregor (who is here in OH!!) and made a fun felted cuff! I of course now hope to make quite a few more, as soon as I can finish this one, when it is actually dry enough to embellish!!( and that of course will depend on the insane humidity we have been having daily!!) My flower garden has gone crazy and lots bloomed and is now starting to bloom! It has been busy as you can see from my flickr pics and all since school got out on the 9th of this month! Can't believe though we are winding down the month already and into the 4th of July!! yikes!! So below are a few pics, but all are on flickr so take a peek and I promise to be good and post here more!!, at least till school starts again ok!! Have a super week and 4th of July! More pics soon and things going on!! Check out my etsy shop for fun new locks as I post them and also fab hand dizzed rovings I did are in there as well!
my cuff! the start of it now to add some beads and stuff!!!
