the ornaments are now in the shop!

November 28, 2011

Ornament collection
My winter ornament collection is now up in my shop! There are five handmade birds and five handmade mice. Each one is sewn from felt and treasured bits of vintage fabric. I hope you like them!

We were away in Connecticut for Thanksgiving. I brought a huge bag of assorted felt scraps with me and spent a few hours sorting them all by color.  Now I have a bag of felt scraps for every color in the rainbow. Time well spent.

I took out my camera this morning to take some photos only to find out that the focus function is broken.  I'm feeling some panic because I need my camera in order to make progress on the book.  I have a Nikon D-40 and it's never failed me before. I hope it is easy to fix!

I took that photo up there with my phone. In the background you can see an awesome piece of driftwood and two beautiful yellow and black feathers we found on the beach at Harkness state park in Waterford, Connecticut.
