This past week has been some of my favorite weather. A couple of heavy rain showers, brief sunny periods, a little wind and cool temperatures. All of it combined to inspire me to work a bit in the studio, catching up on inventory for the shop, making jewelry and treasure tubes, and doodling in my sketchbooks. Plus I had the house to myself for four days and I could sleep at weird times, eat at weirder times and only had to make myself happy. Isn't it great to enjoy your digs all by yourself?!

Studio work table last night
|
This is what my studio table looked like yesterday evening as I filled treasure tubes for the Embellishment shop in the lobby. All these bits and remainders of treasure from the last 25 years have accumulated and now been assembled into crafty tubes for your inspiration. All these bits were just too precious and cool to toss so now, for $ 4.95, you get permission to play!!

These are just a treasure tube sampling.

I also made a couple of embroidered pieces to replace the paper signs I had displayed for years with my locally felted wool. I love sitting in a cozy chair, listening to music and hand stitching on wool. Nothing is as soothing and timeless as working with my hands with something as tactile as wool and textured threads.

| Finally, a sign made in wool! |

I love this little mini banner too.
I left plenty of gorgeous colors of wool in the lobby for you to come and pick some up for your own handwork. You could make a little banner or sign that says, " peace " or " love" or anything else and if you need a suggestion or help with a stitch - just let me know! It will be the perfect excuse to let me make something new! |
