What a fun weekend!

I just returned from 3 busy days in Lakeland, at the Sewing and Quilt Expo….SEW much fun! Classes, vendors, fashion shows, old and new friends....here are some photos of the little beaded bag I made in one of my classes. I bought a small loom to make more, and I can’t wait to incorporate this fun fiber art into my dolls and wearables

Inspired and energized!!! Well worth the trip!!!

Another Perfect Day In Paradise...

Kayaking around the breathtakingly beautiful 1000 Islands in Cocoa Beach...

Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Our "secret" tunnel through the mangroves.

It just doesn't get any better than this!

Butterflies are Free

This was nothing short of miraculous!

Why Knot?

Lesson learned today in silk preparation: never machine wash 36 scarves and 6 yards of China silk at the same time. It’s a lovely fiber sculpture, yes, but not what I intended to do with the stuff! Should only take me an hour to untie all the knots….

Butterflies To Be . . . Stage Two!

Three remaining caterpillars began their trek to adulthood today. 

When I left for church this morning, one had already turned into its chrysalis, 

with another right beside it getting ready to do the same.

When I got back from church, the transformation was already complete! 

Amazing!!!

Butterflies To Be

I counted 5 caterpillars in my milkweed today! Now if I can just keep the predator lizards away....

This pretty monarch seemed to be protecting the little critters. Maybe they are her babies!

Silk Scarves to Dye For!

I'm gearing up for my workshop at the Courtyard Studio in Historic Downtown Eau Gallie in December. These scarves are SO pretty and so easy to make....the only hard part is deciding which technique to use!
