GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS!
Okay, I have a lot to share today, so grab yourself a cup of Java, and of course your Fruit Loops and let's begin.
Just got some new yarn to start another knitting project. This is going to be a Market Bag. I'm currently using this same yarn for my Yoga Socks, which has a little stripe in it. I wanted to try this yarn on bigger needles instead of the double pointed ones I'm using for the socks, so I will let you know how that goes! This yarn is wonderful. Knits really nice and soft.
This is a picture of the what the Market Bag will or is suppose to look like after you have completed the project...we will see how I do! However, I will change the initials to CROW...of course!
Some more new colors over at www.knitpicks.com I can't wait to start using my new circular needles. Now if I can just figure them out, I'll be good to go. Heading to Knitting Classes tomorrow, so will take them with me!
As you all know, I've been working on my Muslin Journal that I learned over at Lynne Hoppe's Blog www.lynnehoppe.blogspot.com I absolutely love working on fabric. You can do so much with these pages. You must try this...it's so much fun.
What I'm doing is gessoing some pages ahead of time. Let the gesso dry and then I started adding some paints, foam stamps, and putting in some texture. I got some of that new Tim Holtz Crackle Paint. It didn't work as well as I thought it would. May be it works better on paper. Not really happy with that product. I do like his inks though! LOL The thing with journal pages, you can keep adding more and more layers, so I will be adding more paints and stuff to these two pages.
Now for Art Dolls Only. We are having our Monthly Challenge and this Month is entitled 
Here they are in the "Work in Progress" stage! As you can see, I'm still developing more Art Dolls, but completed the Three for Challenge!
Introducing the "GARDEN GIRLS"
I absolutely loved doing their hair. I use some left over wool roving and attached it with a glue gun!
I think that about does it! As I'm writing this, I'm looking around, and I see so many projects started and waiting to get completed. I wish there was more time in the day! If any of you can figure out how to make the days longer, let me know...I would love to know! LOL
