Pillow Fight Anyone?

Tonight I have a finished pillow front that I felted over the past couple days.  I was using some transparent strips of nylon that I found at a local fabric shop, plus some prefelt that I have been working with, merino and merino/silk blend...it took a bit of elbow grease to get through all the layers I had made in some places, but it finally worked!  I have two now. I can't wait to stitch them to their back covers and stuff them!  They will be part of Sapphire's inventory and are destined for Blue Flag Hand Weaving Studio in Sandpoint.  http://www.blueflagweaving.com/

Now... I want to tell you about something really wonderful.  I was walking my dog the other day - It was a clear crisp morning following some very heavy overnight rains.  All the sudden, I noticed sparkles out of the corner of my eye.  Upon closer examination, I saw that every lawn in the neighborhood was covered in tiny gossamer threads!  Was this the work of fairies or elves?  I think not...but it was all very enchanting.  As I continued along the threads kept twinkling at me.  I am sure it was the work of spiders...yet it t'was so beautiful that I decided then and there to design a scarf or something representing that effect...but that will have to wait until another day...check back...

Our website is making progress...not quite ready...but check back there as well as it shouldn't be too much longer.
