silly me!





I'm nearly done now with the embroidery/beading around the hem (those pictures are a few weeks out of date)  and in a week or so will start the two or three most elaborate pieces, around the waistline.

That's beautiful.  How did you do that?

[lise]

Wow! Rachelyra that's gorgeous! I can't wait to see it when it's done. Hehe and I love the shoes you picked to match.

Stargirl52 , of course you should come along to visit me!

wow, this tute is gonna get me in trouble....   
i'm already obsessed with good ol' craft felt (the premade sheets, that is)  --  and getting dirty looks from my DH about all the brightly-colored wool bits that always seem to cling to his clothes.  I've been itching get into fibers for a while now (i must learn to knit, and maybe crochet too), but these beads seem so easy and simple to make...  *eyeballs the samplers at outbackfibers*  only $17... 

[rachelyra]

working with wool is, imo, wayyy easier to get into than knitting.  and so fun!  do it!  make him a hat so he'll stop complaining.
