Back of the Pouch - In progress

Water the Fluid of Life

Well today is off to a bad start, I knew it might happen yesterday, but was hoping it would not. We have no water today. Hopefully the maintence crew will remember to turn it back on before they leave today. The city is reworking the water mains, in order to replace them I suppose they must turn my water off but it doesn't mean that I'm happy about this.

Blogspot still has something funky going on with it, it's getting really cranky.

Speaking of cranky I will be redoing the webstore here real quick like, like after I take a nap. I've had it with my web host, they've jerked me around for the last time. I'm going a host that is local, and speaks english, american english!

More Postcards

I will be posting these for sale on my webstore later. Life is very busy right now, I need to go dye some wool yarns, maybe I'll even get to the silk stuff later??? I'm way behind in my wool fabric dyeing as well, so much so I pulled all of the hand-dyed wool fabrics from my webstore.

If I could clone myself I could probably get more stuff done, until then however... right now I just want to take a nap, I've been feeling pretty blah the past few weeks. I went to the doc today they did some bloodwork will know sometime today or tomorrow what's going on.

Trouble, I wonder if he will survive the winter, most get flattened by traffic on the streets around here. I have a wheelbarrow filled with walnuts at the base of this tree so he doesn't have far to go to get food. 

Two Icelandic fleeces I recieved today, they smell like sheep and for me that is Heaven! Now I'm off to wash and card them. 

A moving tapestry. If it looks like it's moving it's because it is, there's a tabby cat under there, even though I didn't want him there. Yes I'll be glad when the studio is outside of the house, maybe then I can get something done w/o the assistance of a tabby cat! 

What Will I Do With It?

Stare at it like I do all of my other prized possessions in my stash! I haven't decided what to do with the pouch yet. It came with the hankies inside, which I thought was really cool. I have more hankies as well, I need to dig them out, I seem to collect them and never use them, just like the aprons I suppose.

Pouch, I picked this up at a yardsale last year. I absolutely love the delicateness of this pouch, it contains ladies hankies. 

Pouch half way opened.

Wooly Worms

Where are all of the wooly worms? You know the fuzzy little guys we see in the fall. I saw some way back in July but haven't seen any since. Do they know something we don't know?

Sandstone Series

These three quilts are my favorite quilts, I refer to them as my babies. It's not easy to sell them, so I'm asking a pretty good price, only serious collectors will consider these most probably. They have also been published a time or two each.

Quilts For Sale!

I did something today I thought I'd never do, I put my quilts up for sale on my webstore. If I can sell the quilts I have for sale I can pay for my building outright. I'll still need a loan to buy a new furnace and put in a bathroom, but the store would be mine. At this point this is the only way I can make this work, is to sell my artwork.

The woman who owns the store won't rent out the whole building to me, the only way I can get the whole building is to buy the building. the up side is I will have my business and my professional studio out of the house. This means no more stairs, that my aching knees are rebelling against, and no more worrying about the pets getting into rooms that are off limits to them.

So if your interested in seeing what I have for sale check out my art website or my webstore for more details.
