Fat Free Desert!!

How about some felted Cherries...I'm having a hard time getting a good picture of them...
Here is what I started with...a vintage cake server...where is the desert???.....
A felted pin cushion...totally fat free!! LOL. I worked on this last night. I love how it turned out.
It all started with the strawberry...I had so much fun figuring out how to make it.
Let me know what you think...I'm going to put it on my Ebay...

Blue Bird~ Pincushion

Back by popular demand...Ta da da....
It's been a while...I finally finished another sweet little birdie on a spoon. The pincushion is covered in vintage laces. I added vintage velvet pink flowers and old buttons. Glittered Pin tops.
Pat Winters hand dyed the beautiful silk ribbon. For Valentines I added a beautiful flowered heart. This is listed on Ebay . If interested please click HERE
Oops...I just checked my listing...It is listed for only 3 days not 7 like I thought

Needle Felting Supplies from Lacis

I cant wait to paint these...

Look at all these colors!! Yummy...now I need time to work with them.lol

I got this German needle felting thing from Castle in the Air...And needle holders from Yarn Dogs in Los Gatos

How cute is this...I couldn't pass it up...it was at the worse Goodwill I have ever been to...we were the only white folk in there...but it was only.....$3.50...I carried home on the plane.

I was folding the towels right from the hot dryer, the phone rang...I laid this on the desk while I talked on the phone...how can they feel the heat from the other room. Pretty funny, but this is what Sunday afternoons are good for...lounging on a toasty towel...(its been about an hour now)

Altered Paint Can ~ Kitty

This a paint can I had altered YEARs ago and sent to my friend Aletha. I had forgotten about it.
She had it as a center piece with the most beautiful yellow roses and babies breath.
When I got home and dumped all my things and came back, this is what I found...Does he look guilty or what...
yep, that's him...totally in the bag...I save the story for what is actually in the bag for tomorrow
I use to paint on silk linen also. I dyed the fabric then paintd...adding a touch of hand dyed lace and buttons. I had forgotten how neat these looked...I painted 2 for Aletha, she has on each side of her swag.

The other side of the can. Thank you all for your nice comments on my trip...My friend's DH had a nice conversation about SLR cameras....so I think I see one in our future...Stacey said we will have to have joint custody...do we have to go to court for that?? Lol!

Vintage & Vogue the owner was so sweet. She gave me permission to take photos and share them with you

It was so full of wonderful goodness. Stacey bought a few goodies

Love these boxes

And the hearts!!!

We drove 45 min. just to have lunch at Half Moon Bay

Lacis....Ribbons Galore. I bought more Wool Roving and a few felting needles

Flying Fish...best Mahi Mahi taco's at Half Moon Bay. We came back to Campbell, went to Vintage and Vogue
that I found out about through Cindy..My Romantic Home.
Los Gatos, it was Sunday, quite a few shops were closed
Just a little note...Yesterday I HAD to work...I ended up talking all day...by evening, It hurt sooo bad to even say..."huh"...Today is my day off, I don't plan to talk at all.

First Day...San Fransisco and Berkeley

Thought you might get a kick out of this...what color of toilet would you like?? lol

This is CB2

Yummm. I ate the french macaroon before I got a picture of it. Oh dear, is that why I'm sick? lol
I love this display of brown eggs. Yep..$4 for 6...ouch. We drive out into the country here in Oregon and get a dozen brown eggs for $2.00. Below, this is a picture from Berkeley looking over at SF and Ferry Building.

We went to the Ferry Building with all of its fabulous shops, Cheese, Bread, French Macaroons, flowers, mushrooms and truffles.The Farmers Market was outdoors.
Then off to CB2....wonderful store...just like their cataloge, then Bell'occhio
We drove around and got some pictures, even though the day was cloudy.
Next we went across the Bay Bridge to Berkeley...stopping at Urban Ore, Lacis, Tale of the Yak, Ellington and French....then to 4th St. We spent so much time there...delights of discovery...Castle in the Air was a highlight. Dinner in Albany at Mangia Mangia

I'm back...

I got home yesterday afternoon, went to bed and I'm still there...I admit...I kept myself drugged up so we could go, go, and go...It was wonderful (not the drugs,lol, the "going"). The day before we came home my throat was getting sore...now its a full blown sore throat. I just wanted to let you all know that everything went well. I need to get Stacey's pictures put in my computer. We saw everything that was on our list, and then some. When I feel better I will post pictures!

AAAAAA~~CHOO sniffle sniffle

Joy, is having a "getting acquainted" party...Do you live close enough to visit???

You've met my kitties before....can you believe this...I didn't know he had crawled in the suitcase. He was so sound asleep...I left him...came back later...and sure enough...still sleeping!
Guess he wants to go with me.

Thank you for your "well" wishes...I've gone from the stuffy head to the sneezing drippy nose. My sore throat is much better...I got some over the counter meds. so I'm ready to travel! LOL. We have our maps ready and a loooong list of shops to visit. Soldering goodies are packed whoohoo for a crafting weekend!! I'll have lots to share when I get back, I'm sure!

I thought I would get this one last post in before I leave. I've come down with a horrible head cold...so I'm just resting and drinking tea...there is nothing worse then flying with a head cold. I guess it is suppose to sprinkle the whole time we are down in SF. Its not suppose to! We live in Oregon where we get enough rain! We'll ta-ta for now. .. another thing..

.Thank you, for all your sweet comments about the things I have been making!!

Pink Heart on Spoon Easel

I had to try a hear...it was so much fun. If you haven't tried it, you need to. Check out Michelles' new flower.

I added lace to the spoon.
Here's for the exciting news...My BFF sent me a ticket to come see her in San Jose for a weekend of crafting...lots of soldering is the plan...we're going into SF and Berkeley, Los Gatos.
Stacey is coming along too, she needs a break from her job. When she returns, she is going to start up a "Homeowners Association" for the management co. she works for. It is going to be a huge huge undertaking.
The three of us have so much fun together. I can't wait...We're leaving next Fri. I will be taking a break from the computer. Have a great Sunday..
