Night sky ~ WIP

This is another little felt sky I am working on. I need to make more faces that will work better with the small scale of these, not so thick and round.


Here is what it looks like without the face. When I finished the circle I embellished some fabric into the felt then added beads...you can never add too many beads. I thought your would like to see the work in progress.

Sunny night

This is starting to remind me of a print given to me by my aunt years ago, Starry Night by Van Gogh. I found it odd that I made a piece that was day and night at the same time. Seems a little fitting for me I do wake up at night when the stars come out. It seems so easy to get things done when everyone is asleep or maybe I am in the wrong time zone. I am not sure if she is done but I thought I would share my progress.

It Felt like a Sunny Day

It Felt like a Sunny Day... but then it started to rain again here in Florida so felting will have to brighten up the day. This is the latest thing that I am working on. I embellished her a little last night, beads in a swoosh across the blue part and a little green sparkly thread is holding the front and back together. I am thinking about adding more embellishments to her but thought I liked her simple and not too over the top to show the felting and color blending but I do get addicted to beading and such. As always I would love your input, what do you think?

Little bird to cross the pond soon

I am having fun with my addiction to little birds and this one is on it's way across the pond. I am excited for it to have a wonderful time in the "Mother Land". I wish I was going with it.

Here comes the sun

It seems that I have so many ideas floating in my head but life is keeping me away from my felting... Laundry, shopping, dishes. Here is a little peek at what I have squeezed into my busy end to the week. I think I might be pulling it apart and doing a re-do on it so I did not want to show you the whole thing yet. I think this one will want some beads added as well. I will keep you updated.

Also take time to enter in the giveaway below. The little birdie needs a home.

Mojo Found!

Hi every one I am back. I lost my Mojo, and it took me longer to find it than I had hoped. Hope not too many blog friends have been lost, but I am here and this is what I am up to now. I finally after lusting over the Baby Lock embellisher, broke down and made the big purchase. I have been in a haze of fiber dust ever since and today this little bird came about. I am not sure if I will add beads or leave it as is. We will see what the fairies decide over night.


Here is another bird that just flew in. This afternoon is a flutter with felt. I wonder if I will have a flock in my house by tomorrow. I put this little guy up on Etsy. He wants to fly away.

Check back some time tomorrow, a little birdie told me a giveaway is in order for those of you who have stopped in

Happy New Year!

I hope that this year brings you good health, happiness, love and everything you need. Happy New year!

Caroling

Yep, it is another post about Pearl. Crafting has taken the back seat to holiday craziness and I still want to post once in awhile. Here is Pearl singing Holiday songs for you all. Our pets seem to love hanging out around the tree. It is very cute.


Pearl is really getting into the holiday mode here sporting her red and green eyes just for the season. No that is not photoshop her eyes really reflect red and green.

On another note I think I will change the title of my blog in the new year and take out Ray since I don't talk much about him on the blog and change it to Pearl.

Squirrel watching

I thought I had posted this here a long time ago but I didn't. I have a blog to keep our friends and family who live faraway in touch and posted it over there but forgot to put it here as well. I post some things on both blogs and and some how forgot to add this post here.

Here is Pearl and Crusty watching a pair of squirrels chase each other around our back yard. I really can't tell who likes/dislikes squirrels the most. Usually Pearl and Crusty do not come near one another but on this day they teamed up for a round of squirrel watching.

Here is Sheri's Bio From her shop.
Pink & Hank is a place to find art created by Sheri Berry Designs. Most of my time is spent designing art for licensed products, but this is a place to get to play and cut and fold and create just as I want. It is one of the most enjoyable aspects of creating and now I get to do it here.

"Sheri Berry" is a nickname that has followed me since I was a wee tyke. "Pink & Hank" were nicknames given to my grandparents when they were a young and hip couple. Well, I thought if it worked for them all those years ago, let's give it a shot now and see what happens.

On another note about Sheri, there is a Giveaway for a complete set of this product to go to one lucky winner. It includes the entire line including the Village Paper Pad and a storage folder! Enter by Thursday, December 11. You might want to stop in and check it out at Moxiefabworld.blogspot.com.

A Tiny Thanks

I sent off my Embellished felted balls today. They sold on Etsy and I was sad to see them go. I really hoped no one wanted them so I could keep them, I know I can make another set but I really get attached to the things I make and it is hard to see them leave. I made a little felt pouch to put them in and added a tiny felt pouch with a tiny little bitty acorn and a note that said "A Tiny Thanks". I really do appreciate it when some one likes what I do, but when some one will pay for it really makes it special. I am thankful for that.

Giveaway alert!

One of my felted ornaments was featured on The Estate of Things Holiday Tree Trimming post blog a week ago. This week you can enter The Handmade Ornament Giveaway on the same Blog The Estate of Things to win one of my holiday ornaments. The red and green acorn holiday ornament to be exact. Stop in and check it out at The Estate of Things.

Now off to the Post Office...

I am almost all done with the Christmas ornament swap that I joined. I will get them off in the post today... I wish I had better lighting for the photos but I think part of the issue is the new filters I just put on my lenses. They are a different brand than I normally get. I needed to replace them since I keep braking them. I am not very easy on my camera. I tend to be rather rough on it.


Hyacinth (aka Crusty) is getting ready for her yearly tree hunt. She loves to attack the tree and make it sway to see how many ornaments she can get off and play with at night while we are asleep. I think she was a little disappointed when all the acorns came off the feather tree. Such a good kitty.
