Soft Wool Flowers

I've been working on a new batch of felted wool flower brooches. These are all made from recycled wool sweaters, felted in my washing machine. I then cut layers of flower shapes from colorful wool and hand stitch the layers together. Some flowers are accented with buttons or trimmed with leaves. The leaves are also made from recycled wool sweaters.

You can see my real floral inspiration in this post. These flowers and more will all be avilable in my Etsy shop, FeltSewGood!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas. . .

The tree has been decorated and the shopping is done.

The gifts have been wrapped and the cookies have been baked.

Here's wishing a
Merry Christmas to All!

A Beautiful Snowy Morning

I went for a brisk early morning walk this morning after a snowy night.

A snowplow had already cleared the street for those heading out early to work.

The heavy wet snow turned the neighborhood landscape into a winter wonderland.

And few had ventered down the snowy path to the local park.

This latest snowfall will insure a white Christmas this weekend!

Happy Halloween!

Being a good person is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside, and scoops out all of the yucky stuff - seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a bright new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.

This was passed on to me by another pumpkin.
Now, it's your turn to pass this on to a pumpkin of your choice!

Wishing you all a safe and Happy Halloween!

Happy Birthday America!

Wishing Everyone a happy and safe 4th of July!
