I have a weakness for needlework, it's special somehow. From hand/eye/mind/mouth
How many dish-cloths does the world need?
... She asks.
An infinite number, I say ... :)
From Pink Room Ponderings
Great blog about... the bunnies, the bunnies
Bunnies of different fabrics with story line, from abunniestale--I love it.
End of summer
Much as I like the summertime... I kind of like the end of the summer, when it's still warm but it's much more relaxing, I can get back to my regular stuff, like this blog.
Crochet coral reef
I saw an exhibit of this yesterday in the Winter Garden downtown New York and it was so cool. I then found out more about it in a knitting magazine, and here is the official web site, theiff.org, with instructions. Did you ever try to crochet something round and flat and ended up with something wobbly? That's basically what this is about. Adding stitches along the way, more than you would normally.
I wish I'd come up with it, why don't I ever come up with this stuff?
Fairy tale candy shop
Wow, I saw this on craftster and it's so lovely it's unreal--which I think is the idea...
Landscape
I love landscape paintings, I wish I were a landscape painter.
Here by Karen E. Lewis, who paints Oregon scenes.
Pattern thread
I do a lot of stuff with pattern thread, and it fascinates me.
How do they make it, first of all? I'm sure it's simple but I don't know.
And it always turns out really different than you would imagine. It looks one way all balled up and another way altogether when it's crocheted. I think it's because the colors look much more blended in the ball.
Kaffe Fassett
I saw him referenced on a forum lately, and I had made some of his needlepoints from kits. Needlepoint takes a lot of time, so I haven't done much lately, but I do love how it looks. Here is Kaffe's web site.
Offseason
This is a bit offseason, these are Christmas decorations from Atomic Garden, a store in Oakland owned by Adrienne Armstrong, featured in More Ways to Waste Time
Quilted necklace
From a blog in Portuguese, called A Fada Flor, which means "the flower fairy." I love the combination of quilting and jewelry.
Old stitches
I found this site that I found beautiful, Giulia Punti Antichi, she replicates old motifs in embroidery.
Bowling ball art
Very cool idea here, making decorative orbs from bowling balls, from gardensandcrafts.com
