<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've designed a new batch of plush animals. They are all made from an assortment of repurposed wool and cashmere from both sweaters and woven wool. And of course the cashmere bunnies are super soft. There's also a bear and a kitty. <br />Perfect for small hands and cuddling, they would also be sweet nursery décor. Now available for adoption!</span></div>

Just finishing up some projects this afternoon and I now have a new set of my "button fruit" zip pouches listed in my <a href="http://feltsewgood.etsy.com/" target="_blank">shop</a>. I love making these cute zipper pouches from felted recycled sweater wool. I added the "cherries" and "grapes" from my button stash, combined with some embroidery leaves and stems.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perfect for gift giving, these three dimensional pouches are approximately 9 inches by 6 inches, the perfect size for a small clutch, cosmetic case, and safekeeping small electronics such as a digital camera or iPod. Or use them to organize small items in a larger tote bag! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See these and more FeltSewGood zip pouches <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FeltSewGood?section_id=5310045&ref=shopsection_leftnav_3" target="_blank">here</a></div>

Most of my perennial flowers are past their prime and the landscape in general has taken on a look of seasonal change. But, we're still holding on to summer here with all the tropical color in the garden. The water lilies are still blooming and all of our tropical plants love the hot sunny weather we're having here in the Midwest. </div>

It is the host for monarch butterfly caterpillars. Monarch butterflies deposit their eggs on milkweed plants; once the caterpillars emerge, they eat the leaves. The larvae (caterpillars) of monarch butterflies eat ONLY milkweed. I have this "common milkweed" variety in my garden, but the "butterfly weed" variety of milkweed is shorter and has flat clusters of orange flowers and is also a great addition to a wildflower or butterfly garden.<br />Monarch populations are endangered, but we can all help by planting butterfly gardens that include a variety of milkweed and butterfly weed plants.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's been a beautiful warm and sunny week of weather. We got a chance to dry out from the flooding rains and I hope those who needed rain received some.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It was nice to be outside and enjoy the garden, visit friends at their farm, and get some work done in our yard. We brought home farm fresh eggs and juicy sweet peaches from the farm. I made a peach pie from <a href="http://feltsewgood.blogspot.com/2011/07/just-peachey.html" target="_blank">this easy recipe</a>. And we finished a simple but much needed landscape project, removing some overgrown ornamental grass and replacing it with sedum, cactus and sedge grass, all better suited to the hot sunny location.</span></div>

We added a few new koi to the pond this afternoon. We went to <a href="http://clearcreekfisheries.net/" target="_blank">Clear Creek Fisheries</a> and picked out three fish from their large indoor tanks. It's been a beautiful sunny day for a change and it's was fun to see the farm and the acres of ponds.</div>
Clear Creek is an old family run business and sells mostly game fish for stocking large ponds, but they had a nice choice of koi today. The owners also have horses, ponies, goats, sheep and a herd of <a href="http://www.deerworlds.com/fallow-deer/" target="_blank">fallow deer</a>. The small, sweet deer keep their spots as adults and have beautiful velvety antlers. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our new koi are now home and seem very content in their new pond, happily swimming and eating with the group.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> A short drive out to the country on a pretty sunny afternoon was good therapy for Randel. And a visit with old friends was fun for everyone. Their bee hives are thriving and fruit trees and berry bushes are loaded with fruit. They have new chickens, ducks and turkeys that have grown so much from the pictures we saw of the little ones in the spring.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> And we came home with some fresh garden salad veggies and fresh eggs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Changes. It's spring, a favorite time of year, and I haven't really enjoyed it. I've been too worried about my husband who had emergency surgery and spent the last two weeks in the hospital, some of the stay in the ICU. Thank you to all his wonderful doctors and nurses! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">He's doing much better now, happy to be in his own bed, even though he'll still have to endure a few more days of IV antibiotics and a few more weeks of dressing changes. I've quickly learned a few new nursing skills and we seem to be doing well with his home care. I'm just so happy to have him home!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Meanwhile, our small restaurant is closed since it was mostly the two of us running it. It feels weird to be "unemployed". So my new job is taking care of him. We'll see how things go over the next couple of weeks, we may decide to sell it and take some time off this summer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As anyone who goes through major life changes knows, we'll take it one step at a time. His full recovery is the most important thing. Thank you to all of our family and friends that have offered love, support, prayers and help. It means so much! It's time like these that remind us to cherish your family and friends and to enjoy life to the fullest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I finished up a lot of sewing projects last week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A custom order of flower pins, plush cats and pillows from a customer's own beloved sweaters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And a set of my heart felt embroidered ornaments.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Now I'm working on stocking up on purses, zip pouches and other accessories for the summer craft fair season. And even though I don't want to plan that far ahead, I need to photograph some new FeltSewGood items because it's time to apply for some fall craft shows.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here's a quick and easy way of making some pretty felted Easter eggs. I wrapped a layer of wool roving around a styrofoam egg. The egg will give you a nice uniform shape and you’ll use less roving than if you felted the whole thing out of wool.</span> </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Start by fluffing out the roving and pulling out wisps of roving. Lay the wisp of roving on your work surface to make a mat of wool.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Lay the roving both horizontal and vertical to make an even mat, wider than the egg and about three times longer than the width of the egg.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Carefully roll the wool around the egg and fold in the side pieces, keeping the wool taut.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The wool fibers will be loose.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Next fill your bowl or sink basin with hot water and add a couple of drops of soap.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Gently dribble the hot water over the egg until all of the wool is wet. Move the wet egg back and forth from hand to hand, like playing catch. Handle the egg gently until the fibers start to pull together. Resist actually squeezing the wool around the egg at this point so that you don't get any wrinkles in the wool.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Add a drop of soap to your hands and continue to handle the egg until the wool starts to hold together more firmly. Now you can add a little more pressure to get the fibers to bind firmly around the egg. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Once the egg is firmly felted, rinse under very cold water to set the fibers.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It's my favorite sign of spring. The throaty trill heard high</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">in the sky. High above, barely visible due to their altitude, it's a flock</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">of sandhill cranes returning from the South, where they've been</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">living during the winter months. We saw hundreds of these massive beauties flying over today. . . what a treat! (Fall is also a great time</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">to see them, as they head south for the winter.)</span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The sandhill crane is akin to the heron, only larger. With a</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">7-foot wingspan, these beautiful birds reach a height of 31 to 47 inches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Seeing the sandhill cranes flying in small groups, calling loudly,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">growing closer and closer, circling the sky into larger groups for their flight north to breeding grounds in Canada</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> is a surreal experience. I feel fortunate to live in a part of Indiana where we get to witness this migration each Spring and Fall from our own backyard.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Most of the birds we see here are heading north for a stop over in the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Area in Medaryville, Indiana.</span></div>

We awoke to a cold snowy day and I spent most of the day inside. I completed a custom order of my heart felt ornaments and with a little help from Jimmy, my Burmese cat, prepared them, and some other items, for shipping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The afternoon was spent sewing, working on some new zip pouches. It's time to restock the shop after the holidays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The daylight ended with a beautiful pink and lavender sunset. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our house looks festive inside and out. The gifts have been wrapped and the cookies have been baked. I have four days off in a row this week and I'm so looking forward to enjoying some good holiday cheer! We will be relaxing and enjoying good food with friends and family, watching a few Christmas show classics, maybe even go to see a new movie.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Much love and good cheer to all this holiday season!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is our new favorite banana bread recipe. <br />I found it on the Martha Stewart website.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's quick and easy to make and the addition of sour cream makes it nice and moist. Makes 1 loaf.</span></div>

<div class="item-list">
<ol>
<li class="first item-odd"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan; set aside. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, and beat to incorporate. </span></li>
<li class="item-even"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture, and mix until just combined.

<li class="item-odd last"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let rest in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool. </span></li>
