Ouch!

 Ouch!  Who knew that yarn crafts could cause so much pain?  It seems that I have over done it and injured my shoulder knitting and crocheting.  Boy, getting old stinks!  Seems I will have to take it easy for a while.

A New Skill

I have been tryingmy hand at a new skill, spinning.  It is not as easy as it looks, but I keep practicing.  It seemed a natural extension of my other fiber related hobbies, so I thought I would give it a try.  I mean how cool would it be to knit or crochet something with yarn that you made yourself?  I think it would be pretty cool!  It was suggested that I learn with wool, so that is what this is and it is nowhere near anything perfect, but it is mine.  I have to be patient with myself.  I get frustrated easily, so I have to keep reminding myself that I am just learning.  Gotta start somewhere.

Until next time,

Hello again

Okay, so I admit that I have a problem.  I am a terrible blogger and I do not post as often as I should.  This was most recently and lovingly pointed out by my friend Karen on her blog. She is a much better blogger than I and anyone would be greatly rewarded by following either of her blogs.

Anyway, the business I started is moving right along and I have been able to do many great thread paintings for people.  This makes me very happy.

I have also been quilting, knitting, crocheting, and making lots of other cool things as well.  The pictures are just a sample of some of the things I have been up to. The embroidery machine has expanded my ability to offer all sorts of things to clients, as well as gifts to friends and family.

And to my friend Karen, I hope that I continue to inspire you, because you inspire me all of the time.  So let us both keep up the good work and I will try my best to blog more often.
