Things of been kind of hectic for me.  My car was in the shop for 23 days. Just got it back about for five days ago and I'm trying to get things (read "my life" ) back in order again.

For anyone who might be interested, I will be starting back at the farmers market in St. Augustine on the first weekend of February. I'm not sure which market it will be,  but I will post here on the blog as soon as I have made my decisions. 

I really believe I have saturated my market at the farmers market that I have been doing for the last two years. I'm thinking of changing venues and I'm not sure where I will be yet.  

So stay tuned boys and girls.

I completed the biggest basket I've ever made so here's a shot.

Can I just say, this picture, actually none of the pictures, do this basket justice.

I have done a couple of bracelets. 

I even warped up my loom.  Unfortunately I don't seem to be inspired in any one direction.

So stay tuned!!!  There is no telling what will show up here next!

How about a live oaks Center stitched with yellow and red?

So far just yellow.

Red and purple

July 18, 2014

I don't usually go for such bold color combinations. Any Red Hat ladies out there anywhere…

Purple and red with a beautiful oak center. 

A little bit of drawing also I've been doing some ballpoint pen practice. Here's a few shots of what I've been up to.

Ink is very hard girls and boys. I wish I had better pen / ink colors, these are little too bright for my liking, it looks cartoony.

Clearly I need more practice. Might switch back over to charcoal and pencil for a little bit, keep watching.

Houstom we have a Key Katcher!!!  Or you could use it as I did and hang your necklaces and jewelry on it.

Thinking of new ideas.

How about a place to hang your keys? Or maybe even jewelry!

Picture hooks, maybe even pretty ones, on the wood face (gotta love Juniper).  Maybe even a lil embellishment.

Three completed this week!

Decided that the messenger bag project was taking too long.  I really don't have time for "free" work.  Free because it was for me.  

So it became a basket.

Then I did another one with a Live Oak center.

And then a tiny Cedar one.

Supposed to be up around 80 degrees here in St. Aug.  tomorrow!  Now if the pollen doesn't kill me sales should be good at the farmers market!  Wish me luck.

Pine tree bloom!

I went into panic mode for Pine needles.  Off I went early yesterday to gather since it was such a beautiful day.  This is the first thing I saw.  

Mother nature at her best.

Then, even though I did break down and buy needles (the weather has had everything too wet here to gather myself), I also got these...

My friend Dana hooked me up too.  I love having your support and Help Dana.  Thank you.

My week is very full this week, so I am off to the Pine needles

Talk to you soon.

My basket work in Vermont!

I received this picture in an e mail today.  

I met a lady at the farmers market this Saturday, she was with the customer (another lady) that purchased this basket and sent it to her in Vermont as a gift.  Christmas I think.  Both are lovely ladies.

I can't tell you how pleased I am that she took the time to send me a photo of how she is using this basket.  How special that she has so artfully displayed even more of mother's natures gifts to compliment my work.

Thank You ladies, this made my day.

Purple, purple and more purple.

Two requests for more purple.  So, this wood has purple tones, a purple thread that is more on the blue end, and another purple thread moreon the red end.  

I already love it.

After this one is finished I will do the other half of the coconut shell with the same thread colors.
