Nuno Scarves

Felting again!  It has been awhile as I am working on a secret project, but today I have two lovely scarves laid out on my tables.  Soon as I am done I must clean everything up as company is coming!  And then on Sunday I am off on adventures with my younger sister, mom and aunt on Kauai.

When I return ...big surprise!  While I am gone I will be looking to nature for patterns and textures that one day might make it into my felting designs.

Take care...
Janet

New Pillows - But They're Already Spoken For

Done! Done! and Done!

I am so excited to finish these two pillows as they have turned out very nice.  They feel wonderfully soft when you feel them too.  The final touch was adding a small - as in micro - trim to the edge to cover seam stitching and a few tassel like tufts of fiber here and there!  I am sure their new owners will enjoy them for years to come.

They are washable too!  Just open them up and remove the inside and then pop the covers into the sink with some Soak wash...let them soak for 15 minutes.  Pull them out and roll in a dry bath towel to remove excess water.  Lay out flat on a dry towel until dry.  Or you can vacuum them for a quick clean up...very easy care!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Saturday as much as I did mine.  We had near blizzard conditions for awhile here.  Very cozy inside though.  And I have made more progress on my list of things to do before I leave for Hawaii next week.  Gotta keep at it though as there are many more things to do...

Take care,
Janet
