Tapestry Wool

So what should I do with the 2 garbage bags of tapestry wool I had given to me?


I tested it and it felts up really nice. I am going to start out by knitting then felting a throw rug for Faedra's bedroom in wacky color combinations. Maybe some placemats....going to have to do some research. I might have to take up weaving or possibly do a tapestry if I find a pattern I really like. I am pretty sure I have every color available from patons.


I will take a pic of the haul tommorow once I buy new batteries for the camera

Friday craziness

Well today has been rather interesting. I finished 3 more doll outfits, took pictures, listed on Ebay then went shopping to Micheals to buy a couple of T shirts, fabric paint and dye for Livia. All with the intention of doing tiedye etc with her this evening.

Then the dog crapped on my allready stained (from kids) carpet. Livia stepped in it, then proceeded to be grossed out (i dont blame her) then smear it all over the hallway trying to get it off. So Up I go to clean it up, use the green machine etc. Well after spending a hour cleaning the carpet I decided it still looked like shit (no pun intended) so I decided to rip it out hoping for hardwood. No hardwood, just thee same crazy lino that is on our stairs. No more stained carpet....clean crazy 60's yellow acid flashback!

Gave the kids a bath....gave the dog a bath and I still haven't even looked at the tie dye project lol. Maybe tommorow as it is allready 7pm and Liv goes to bed in 1 hour anyways. I might follow her lead and go to bed.

Ebay sewing mania

I've been sewing up a storm the last few days. All doll related creations to sell on Ebay:

Hopefully I will make enough on this batch of auctions to be able to afford to repair my embroidery machine. I miss using it and I have a million and one ideas, all of which require it's use.

Doll Display Project. I have laid hardwood flooring on the attic floor (popsicle sticks with the ends chopped off) Need sanding and staining etc. I will have room for maybe 1 or 2 more tiny BJD's Yah! Just need to make some money to buy them, not to mention fix the embroidery machine.





This is the fronts, the back and one sleeve of the Matinee sweater mentioned in an earlier post.



Purple, black, white & Lavendar striped socks. My first knit pair. I am scared to do the heel but I can't make them any longer or I will never wear them.








yikes! These are all tiny doll clothing that need either straps, buttons, snaps or all of the above. By Tiny I mean really tiny for all you non-doll folks. These all fit a kelly sized doll.

































Why I don't get an opportunity to sew during the day....


Need I say more?
