I've been trying to spend some more time with my needle felting machine~she's lonely :) I have a bunch of sweaters felted and ready to go, but have been concentrating on the knitting. I am SO into the knit cape right now.
I have been crazy in love with the yarn that is spun by Sara and it just works so well with them. I have 2 capelets on the mannies right now just waiting to be embelished with bits of whimsy. 
I did find some great vintage millinery flowers that I restored and will be using. One of which is on the nearly finished brooch, I used red and ice blue. I adore this color combo. So beautiful! 
I was in the next town over and discovered a quilting shop (bought some muslin) and she directed me to a shop that sells yarn, and has spinning classes. As in the wheel, not the bike (lol, I love "spin" class too). So I took a peek and she had some fantastic roving in little mini bags, perfect for my machine! So here's a peek at whats in the works, more to come!xoxo
So my latest piece of work was inspired by punk. Time spent in the mosh pitt. I must have always looked too girly for it, but I held my own. So my new cuff, Schooled In the Church of Punk. Made of mostly reclaimed materials. I had alot of fun creating it. I just read somewhere that things we create "speak" to us when they are done. 
This cuff took awhile to get there. I just couldn't find the right pieces to "fit" into my vision. So I spent a couple of quiet mornings, listening to the birds and embroidering a bit here and there, then one morning, I saw it, it fit, It spoke to me.
