Peter Pan anyone!

We put our Batman last night into the Peter Pan costume, just for a few minutes, he was so scared,I think he looks so cute.

I have been busy!

With 4 weeks to go to my first show, I have no spare time any longer. I just finished 3 of these little pots with christmas trees and small santas. The Santas have no legs so they are easier to put between the bucket and the tree. These would be a cute idea for somebody who doesn't have a lot of room or maybe somebody in a old folks home. One is with lights and the other two without.

Christmas anyone?

I finished my Reindeer and Santa creations, I am so happy, they took me forever. I had both reindeer done along time ago, just did the two Santas in the last few days. Beard, hair and eyebrows are all needle felted into the fabric, I love doing that, no glue here,it goes so simple and easy. I buy all my wooly fibers each year at a flock and fiber show, which is held in September, you get good deals, which you do not find in the stores. Now that I am all finished with these, moving along to other things.

So many things to do and not enough time

Where has the time gone, we are in October now. This year has just gone by so fast. We are still getting spoiled with beautiful weather, we had 82 degrees yesterday, today we dropped about 20 degrees, no sun yet,a lot of clouds. We could use some rain, it really hasn't rained here for months, everything is bone dry. The Christmas shows are just around the corner, I have 4 1/2 weeks left for my first show, I am panicking. I have hardly anything finished. This year everything just went crazy, all my plans to create so many different things went out the window, with too many important and unimportant things happening. Oh well, now I have to make the best off it and get cracking. Here are a few pictures of my snow ladies, last year I made 6 of them and I sold them all, this year I made 7. I made two reindeer which are propped on a stand, I finished the two little Santas which will sit on the back of them, will finish it up today.

Beautiful Oregon Beach

The beach is about 2 hrs from Portland, we went there last week Sunday, we had a beautiful day.

Mother's Day and Birthday Celebrations

What a wonderful weekend I had. My birthday was on Mother's Day this year and I had a weekend full of celebrations. My husband and daughter surprised me with a birthday party on Saturday with friends and neighbors. This had been in the planning for several weeks and I really can say I did not suspect anything. My husband said this will be the last surprise party, because keeping secrets from me is like pulling teeth,because I am in a funny way kind of a 007 and know and find out anything. Too funny! And if this wasn't enough, they took me up to our beautiful Mt. Hood, Timberline Lodge for a outstanding Brunch. The weather was beautiful and so warm up there, not like last year, when we got up there we had a snow blizzard. The food was delicious. I bought myself a few weeks ago a new camera with a better Zoom, 30x and I took beautiful pictures up there zooming in on the top of Mt. Hood, on Mt. Jefferson and Lost Lake, which was still covered partial with ice and snow.
