"Holiday Friends" Here and Gone

Jill's Perfectly Pedicured Feet
Leisa Quote at beginning of our friendship....
"if I could have any part of your body it would be your feet"

Jill and Paige came north from Florida to surprise Heidel for her 40th. Dan and I were lucky to have them stay with us. We were able to laugh and cook and create for a whole week, it really doesn't get much better.

This is how perfect a friend she is...Dan calls her today on her way out of town to ask if she misses him yet? You know it was fun if he could deal with all the upset to his strict schedule and enjoy it.

They left this am....goodbye "Holiday Friends" I can't wait for our next adventure.

Paige remember .....Paco is your not,boyfriend!

Easter

We had snow 12"-24" deep the evening of Good Friday.

This child came prepared.

Until you noticed she was sporting New Shoes!

p.s. she will be returning to DSW to pick up a pair in 7.5 for her favorite aunt!

Wet Felted Flowers.....Continued

My wet felted flowers had to sit unattended for a day, while I got back in the swing of being off holiday.

Yesterday I gathered all my supplies and decided this lovely belongs on this unfinished felted bag. I thought the bag complimented the flower quite well, the bag needs to be completed, it is in need of purse feet, lining, closures, handles, etc, etc. I will choose a lining that brings out that bright blue and tie it all together. Rather looking forward to it.

I may have gone overboard on beading, it looked fine until I posted this photo.....comments please.



to this I added 3 felted leaves and a beaded stamen, am still working out how to add pistals, I tried beads on beading thread, too droopy, tried beading wire couldn't get beads to stay where I wanted them, (do I need a crimping bead?). Even dusted off my old embroidery skills and added french knots, how fun!

Must get more roving to do more!
