The setting was LOVELY, the ladies were delightful and so quick to catch on! I couldn't believe how fast the day slipped by and most everyone got quite a bit of their projects done except one very ambitious gal who is doing a rug - not a hotpad.<br />I was also invited back in the spring to teach another class on Kool Aid dying, carding and<br />drop spindle if I can learn in time. Thankfully I sort of know how and I have 6 months to practice if i can lay my hands on a spindle which shouldn't be an issue.<br />If you live in the Jemez - I recommend this wonderful group and if you don't - check out their classes anyway. I know they've done felting, quilting and making rag rugs. <br />I wish I'd remembered my camara - the class was held at the Green Acres Permaculture Demonstration farm and is awesome. They live in a yurt part of the year and also rent out the yurt if someone wants to go stay up there. They also do permaculture classes and apparently grow tons of herbs, veggies and flowers. The property abuts the Jemez River and would be a dream property! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to live in a place like this and make the upper part of the main building a studio/gallery but we'd need a miracle for that to happen plus - I love it here in Bosque Farms and would find it hard to leave our property here and all of our awesome neighbors......so yeah, probably wouldn't happen unless it's a vacation home for us! OH where oh where is that rich relative who will leave us millions when they pass away?D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07455100041415827990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339555416968713491.post-16690682325447248112009-11-11T14:55:00.000-08:002009-11-11T15:04:47.215-08:00Novelty yarn.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoeZZNnfgQO9oVE3kAgRTbdLVkEO51yKy7ZAPPqE_9muduYF8UfDgmO4659JOyfw1fhWE-4miqqdgTrTEDSVn6CqiKSxQg3abWz4srngWN0PA0dySfilxnXz1k8hCqzKRNDhwvxKBFuQg/s1600-h/000_1756.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402984009882019810" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoeZZNnfgQO9oVE3kAgRTbdLVkEO51yKy7ZAPPqE_9muduYF8UfDgmO4659JOyfw1fhWE-4miqqdgTrTEDSVn6CqiKSxQg3abWz4srngWN0PA0dySfilxnXz1k8hCqzKRNDhwvxKBFuQg/s200/000_1756.jpg" border="0" /></a> I'm spinning again. I lent my wheel to my cousin in AZ and am seriously miss it but my friend and mentor lent me her wheel so I can be back to spinning until I get my wheel back. I hope they can bring it back over the holidays. I had some lovely black Alpaca from Four Pines Alpaca leftover from a different spinning project and I didn't know what to do, then as I was going through some of my stuff for a class I'm teaching this coming weekend<br />I found some odds and ends: about an oz of bamboo, silk hankies and some cotton sent to my from Exclusivelylindalee on Etsy.com so i spun it all u and made some Novelty yarn. It also gave me a chance to experience something new - spinning cotton. I've been told it's hard - NOT really. but then, I didn't think silk or bamboo were as difficult as everyone said either. I still prefer Alpaca and Silk to anything else.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPqLhPzdXmfcnhoPQ9Hqi38CtkTWl7GQT9377VSWfwORn47W2mQGhAfFxokd9XTuF1PlFRaX7M5UBd_qzoPjO8YVglwTPtduU9i0mbLU-KP2a41TR5YoKAJpt5KWPIMTh_VSSQKsw0FTQ/s1600-h/000_1755.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402984003237881266" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPqLhPzdXmfcnhoPQ9Hqi38CtkTWl7GQT9377VSWfwORn47W2mQGhAfFxokd9XTuF1PlFRaX7M5UBd_qzoPjO8YVglwTPtduU9i0mbLU-KP2a41TR5YoKAJpt5KWPIMTh_VSSQKsw0FTQ/s200/000_1755.jpg" border="0" /></a> This one is Black Alpaca with silk spun with coils.

Those of you who visited my blog last year know I came home with a LOT of stuff last year. I scrimped and saved and had the most fun blowing a wad I've ever had. This year, not so much. Between medical bills, loosing my cleaning gig and saving up for some trips I didn't have much to spend and my goal was mostly to get stuff for projects for christmas or for Christmas presents. So off to Taos I went as a tagalong. Okay, so I could not help spending a little bit o money but really - I did good. From top right to bottom left is my new treasure pile: the bag on top left is 40z of BFL roving for spinning called Tapestry - I just love spinning BFL so this was a WANT!!! Next is a 2.5lb cone of ?? tan for warping my loom - I've got a few christmas presents in mind for this and at a whopping $1 per lb. I didn't feel like I'd go over budget on this one!!! Next is the cone of salmon colored perle cotton - a little more expensive but it is for Christmas presents afterall. Underneath is Alpaca roving - felting projects in mind for this - I bought some of 3 different colorways: ?? River Valley, Thin Mints and Fudge (are you seeing a theme here? ) from LonesomeStone Alpacas. LOVE it!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf4d3nfKZ2sh8ccue4wjzS-KzzyeHqo7E8SpviYVzg8Mh-IqdjH_jRzDyWzJAUg5PxMPh6fMmDTLuaqYLZ4pzVxh_fhK0VXgMR9D-Th8pIgbEhNXxkKlszX86Cj8t4F1zrGsbMfe6tkuM/s1600-h/000_1621.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389141859662845298" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf4d3nfKZ2sh8ccue4wjzS-KzzyeHqo7E8SpviYVzg8Mh-IqdjH_jRzDyWzJAUg5PxMPh6fMmDTLuaqYLZ4pzVxh_fhK0VXgMR9D-Th8pIgbEhNXxkKlszX86Cj8t4F1zrGsbMfe6tkuM/s200/000_1621.jpg" border="0" /></a> I couldn't help but take pics of some of the critters there as well. </div><div>These are the two Pygoras (or Nigoras).<br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbi4sBITOea3GwOGhJu82E4_g_hqmf0laEErTHwWO5AC_dDpoF3LQvmLVaGIK4EHxDkj97Mw7Zr7gN3qEIvx0lFRGcKn5hGCXrg8lwchV94xBBVaIzUHdr5nbhv_TiIJVBPX81R8stq1o/s1600-h/000_1624.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389141849732540562" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbi4sBITOea3GwOGhJu82E4_g_hqmf0laEErTHwWO5AC_dDpoF3LQvmLVaGIK4EHxDkj97Mw7Zr7gN3qEIvx0lFRGcKn5hGCXrg8lwchV94xBBVaIzUHdr5nbhv_TiIJVBPX81R8stq1o/s200/000_1624.jpg" border="0" /></a> The baby alpacas - oh, if only I could bring one of these precious babies home with me.....(well, actually 2 since they need a buddy-)<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGrNKC3CcCiseaCRDGWvr-i1xViCRG1gRnZqAhuxpvMcCT9pKnXdUpmbIGUJbiyGLvH_M5KusBUv0gMX3mQ8Reh3yQBqOMGydm9eQm1nFlMIikgGvKsWJg10tULZ5L_Nt4R1g8Z_dKvaw/s1600-h/000_1622.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389141839488588898" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGrNKC3CcCiseaCRDGWvr-i1xViCRG1gRnZqAhuxpvMcCT9pKnXdUpmbIGUJbiyGLvH_M5KusBUv0gMX3mQ8Reh3yQBqOMGydm9eQm1nFlMIikgGvKsWJg10tULZ5L_Nt4R1g8Z_dKvaw/s200/000_1622.jpg" border="0" /></a> And these two woolies I thought were babyAngoras but they had blue eyes so I'm not sure they were purebred but oh the soft fleece these two have - melt!!! </div><div>They were so precious I wouldn't have minded loading them up and taking them home.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I am having more fun than you can shake a stick at - Okay so this morning I woke up and the felting bug bit me hard. I wet felted all morning (and let the munchkins sleep in!) I had made these cool horses out of super sculpey (way easy and way cute!) and then put them on the felted background and framed them in shadow box frames and VOILA! This one is titled Spirit Horse - I have another one waitng for the felted background to dry and then I have two other felted backgrounds that go with Spirit Bear and Lizard. Once they are all done I'll post more but I was so PSYCHED I had to get one up. I also have a felted purse that is being worked on. I get more and more excited about this show the closer it gets. I still have several more felted scarves to finish up and of course the pictures and purses. I will try to take pics at the show too once everything is up and ready!!!!! BACK to felting I go!<br /><div></div>D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07455100041415827990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339555416968713491.post-88793966152982398332009-09-07T16:50:00.001-07:002009-09-07T16:57:11.197-07:00Gourd - Lounge Lizards<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0z8A4p1gYDubmCiBI05lfARoASLF85_MfyH9v6-4BRr8dp55phJVWdP6WYVxcT5xGoKtQVsoKqcBowyPOek-a4I2kTJcoGmpb5iqQbQu0LzJ4Ja_Fr2HeSlzDgllCZc9U129xdw-YSzY/s1600-h/000_1421.jpg"></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDajIRmoFrwLNTxrF2sybGnHrqaAYKgGJ5CPdh7mAgufpGnSzyLKDj2OF6fkwvT99y3a1nBacOK-ZoI1kGe2DpMKofWj5O5kV5TUpPUARtUYJBYMHyeAvMnSTW9D9oOcEQ88UGVzLAgcA/s1600-h/000_1420.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378877494129113842" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDajIRmoFrwLNTxrF2sybGnHrqaAYKgGJ5CPdh7mAgufpGnSzyLKDj2OF6fkwvT99y3a1nBacOK-ZoI1kGe2DpMKofWj5O5kV5TUpPUARtUYJBYMHyeAvMnSTW9D9oOcEQ88UGVzLAgcA/s200/000_1420.jpg" border="0" /></a> Okay - I finished another piece for the show this coming friday and finished beading another scarf - Lollipops! Here is the piece that I put aside nearly a year ago and worked furiously to finish up in time for the show. It is called LOUNGE LIZARDS and has 4 needle felted lizards on the gourd. I LOVE THE LIZARDS. They are to cute and they really all have their own personality. So this piece got me really fired up to do a lot more things......MORE to come later. This was so much fun! I have ideas for about 3 more floating in my head but first I need to bead some more scarves, felt and bead a few more AND finish another 4 pieces of felted art for the show. Busy, Busy, Busy!!!!! If I'd had half a brain in my head I would have had my friend Jeannie send back my felted hats and ski bands from Colorado but I guess I didn't think of it so she'll just have to keep them for her shows up there this year. I hope they sell. I had planned to get a lot more stuff done but it did not happen. </div><div><br /><br /> </div><div></div>D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07455100041415827990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339555416968713491.post-28166661729474227752009-09-02T15:30:00.001-07:002009-09-02T15:34:47.686-07:003 Lazy Lizards<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigB999JA4DMjYD1P1BXodD9rx9D9CVN_kUbgCWQKtxZZFmKG46ZJ5kzHtL4qrnL1j9bRFToqnk9lnlu3j2ADMSLP4RzhHq0guA3wWoj_0JO6TIRf2HGn5YJEhbJ66P0YQPXXkVo8wzD-0/s1600-h/000_1417.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377001307852897714" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigB999JA4DMjYD1P1BXodD9rx9D9CVN_kUbgCWQKtxZZFmKG46ZJ5kzHtL4qrnL1j9bRFToqnk9lnlu3j2ADMSLP4RzhHq0guA3wWoj_0JO6TIRf2HGn5YJEhbJ66P0YQPXXkVo8wzD-0/s200/000_1417.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here is the trio of lazy lizards I am needle felting. they are going to be attached to a large gourd (there will be more lizards as well!) I"m loving these little guys, they all have their own personality and face.

Please come see the show if you are able. I have my felting, nuno felting, and Lockerhooking there. This should be fun and the artists' reception is Sunday Sept. 13, 2009 from 2-4 - snacks and drinks provided.<br />Thanks Deb an Greg S. for inviting me!!!!D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07455100041415827990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339555416968713491.post-32675358681974548682009-09-02T06:43:00.000-07:002009-09-02T06:58:10.813-07:00Busy at Fiber Phanatic!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiATZy9mQWsHrXNLlpwUs6dpxVfj9gtet6nDOTnqmBlPWGSdkeGMh93-8wsCEyv13zJZVbFzn0pEKKoCAzcFRo5WzYDz6O2h4-gVqrnvbdzaQmERNLPa0Og5zAiyfdLbs33EzYDT4EHT-8/s1600-h/000_1414.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376866091330927378" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiATZy9mQWsHrXNLlpwUs6dpxVfj9gtet6nDOTnqmBlPWGSdkeGMh93-8wsCEyv13zJZVbFzn0pEKKoCAzcFRo5WzYDz6O2h4-gVqrnvbdzaQmERNLPa0Og5zAiyfdLbs33EzYDT4EHT-8/s200/000_1414.jpg" border="0" /></a> As you can tell from the pictures I've mostly been in my cave (aka living room) creating like crazy but haven't posted in a while. I was asked to do 4 trophies for the upcoming State Fair Goat Show (donation) so here are the two finished (sans clear coat to protect gourd). I do NOT like how the river turned out using stain so I'm trying to figure out how to fix it. These gourds are carved with Faux stone inlayed and woodburned wording and the goats are woodburned except the inlay.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVljYD1oznctLNvMjkZz9lKa9XJLv4X94tsDvtscFjSb16Hbz-3U06F9XQw49Rr0Em6wV-BbU8QEX_nMhyphenhyphenBi92wQLV-t9IoVN5TrRHjJ9WwY2rzcbSrANuV276OncBYKKCgmK5c5Uj2B0/s1600-h/000_1408.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376866082122372210" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVljYD1oznctLNvMjkZz9lKa9XJLv4X94tsDvtscFjSb16Hbz-3U06F9XQw49Rr0Em6wV-BbU8QEX_nMhyphenhyphenBi92wQLV-t9IoVN5TrRHjJ9WwY2rzcbSrANuV276OncBYKKCgmK5c5Uj2B0/s200/000_1408.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is a finished scarf which should be famous now since it hit the Valencia County News-Bulliten Caliente! section which features local artists, musicians, and other interesting stories from in and around the County.

This one is a turquoise blue with black swarovski crystals at either end. I love the way this one turned out. I sold one just like it recently to a gal in New Hampshire!

Then I used two Czech firepolish beads in a rosey gold color that matches great! </div><div>And that's not all folks.......More to come!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div>D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07455100041415827990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339555416968713491.post-21738835513314369272009-08-16T07:23:00.001-07:002009-08-16T07:32:48.893-07:00Lockerhooked Pillow is DONE!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjACrTzDi-jsv-zpCy15RWh6yXzY7seDlX1iKUA5nHPzzQI23DmVsRCdyeQKhkvEZUPfQXHfse5yjI_GrIQKKwTWAuYkI1Z3iX6MgdeQflhb4SqYYWo4KQzOfNIInG7Yg6EG0c6SnUPoLY/s1600-h/000_1309.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370567324113201554" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjACrTzDi-jsv-zpCy15RWh6yXzY7seDlX1iKUA5nHPzzQI23DmVsRCdyeQKhkvEZUPfQXHfse5yjI_GrIQKKwTWAuYkI1Z3iX6MgdeQflhb4SqYYWo4KQzOfNIInG7Yg6EG0c6SnUPoLY/s200/000_1309.jpg" border="0" /></a> I know some of you have seen the front view of this pillow but it is finally done both front and back and sewn together! I love the way this turned out.<br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370567315885680210" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQWzUc87StSBRn4gkV9VBmQtfuneeGLbGpHSdAo0u8tInrioMeH68XXpqCNgV6Koe_ZEU5W2kpuPQhS0zyZZOH7ziM2s1QFoynSVLlg9Kmf7QMDn9im0ddnXcK1hv2_0bqrsrleUngcjA/s200/000_1310.jpg" border="0" />The most interesting part of making stuff like this is getting ideas for your next project AND see what you'd do differently next time - Like making the design on the back bigger maybe using some more colored fiber!!!!!! </div><div>This project didn't take near as long to make as the rug did and I really like the way the pillow came out! I think I'm going to have to make another one. </div><div>YES, this is for sale!!!!! IF it is sold before Sept 26, 2009 it is $75.00 and $25.00 will be donated to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. After that it will be on my website for $100.00</div><div> Also, for those of you who buy soaps. I will donate $1.00 per soap sold to LLS between now and Sept. 26, 2009. </div><div>I have a lot made and will be making lots more so get your orders in now. I have cucumber, clary sage flax, jasmine green tea, strawberries N creme, pure & basic, rosemary, lavender, and will be making tea tree oil tomorrow. <br /><br /></div><div></div>D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07455100041415827990noreply@blogger.com0
