worn by the tide

A little bit of what is new and to be expected in the shop...

Beautifully hand crocheted beach stones.

They are reversible, so it is like getting 2 for the price of 1.

The stones and smooth and well worn by the tide.

I just love them.

What do you think?

Earth and Sky...

This is such a beautiful video.

I saw it the other day and have been wanting to share it with you!

Make sure to put it on full screen.

It is perfect for a grey, rainy, slow day like today, I think...

The Mountain from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.

Also, I have a new print in the shop!

The perfect little something to represent the essence of spring

and to adorn your wall.

I will have prints of the sea sprite soon.

I hope you all have a glorious weekend...

And Happy Easter!

Fluidity

I love contrast.

Day and night,

light and dark,

soft and hard,

big and small.

Like the seasons there is a constant pulling,

a struggle to maintain balance,

harmony.

A fluidity.

Everything that I do,

everything that I make,

I try to make sure that it can tie together.

I feel that this piece does exactly that.

It measures out a little section of every part of my craft

and combines it into one.

Fiber,

stone,

silver.

It is of the animal kingdom,

it is of the earth,

and the sea.

Find it here.

I hope you enjoy!

Hoping it will be nice again today,

Hope you have a wonderful day!

I seem to be on the mend from being terribly sick,

although my head still feels like I am in a fish bowl.

Maybe tomorrow I will wake up renewed and totally restored to perfect health...

Maybe.

Have a great night my chickadees.

NEW In The SHOP!!!

So I finally got some of my watercolors made into prints...

Yay!

I have been listing them in the shop today,

take a look!

New In The SHOP!!!

I can't believe it is already Sunday night!

Sometimes (actually, a lot of times), time just flies by!

I added a few new things to the shop today...

You know, some felted cuff bracelets and nuno cowls.

Take a look!

(oh, and feel free to share the link with your friends!!!)

The model is my seeeeester!

Isn't she beautiful?

She did such a wonderful job modeling for me,

it made things easier for me!

Hope you all had a wonderful day!!!

oh, p.s. tell all your friends...

I am offering a 10% discount today until I go to bed!

Hurry! I am kind of like a grandma and usually go to bed early -

just sayin"!

Have a warm and toasty day!

Today was 50 degrees and I didn't go to the craft fair.

It has been raining here all day today and I don't think it is about to stop.

The weird thing is that it was almost 50 degrees today...

IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER!?!

Actually, I am not really that suprised, it was 60 degrees around this time 2 years ago when Poesy came home to us...

But I think the temp is going to drop.

Maybe that means snow!!! (the thought makes my heart smile!)

I love rain, actually, but I have been needing the still and quiet of a good snow.

I was hoping to go to this holiday craft fair today, but my plans were blundered :(

Have any of you heard about it, or been to it?

How cute is this poster?...

They had another cute one with a parrot hanging up-side-down, but I couldn't find it to post here.

Anyway, I couldn't find anyone to go with me and I really didn't want to go alone.

Then Andy said he would go with me when he got home from work...

I should have known better because he worked at 5:30 this morning and got up at 4.

So when he got home he fell asleep for a while, then woke up and said he would go,

but there just wasn't enough time and I didn't want to waste the gas and get there only to have to rush to see everything before it was over!

Oh, well, I wanted to check it out for a vending possibility for next year.

Maybe I will just have to blindly apply and hope that it is as fun and as good as it looks!

So I spent the rest of the afternoon playing around with a watercolor painting that I have been working on.

This little puppy dog has been bugging me (because at this point it is almost supper time)!

See this second photo, she was grumbling in protest to it not being 5 o'clock and me not feeding her whenever she wants... I think someone is a little spoiled!

She is on my naughty list because she ate a bag of pastries that I was bringing home when she was in the car the other day...

Naughty, Naughty Dog!!!

I probably should have hidden them a little better, but she should know better by 9 years old!

It was sad. For me.

Not for her, she was happy!
