sari yarn

i'm always up for a challenge

so when I met my friend carmi for dinner

she was showing off her latest purchase from anthropologie

silk sari yarn

as soon as dinner was over we headed next door

to get some more and promised we would both make something

I decided to get out the crochet hook, beads, wire and chain

before long I had this necklace made

carmi made a wonderful braclet seen on her blog here

creative festival

this years creative festival for me was all about fiber arts

last year as i wondered the show i discover gio gaudet

and his wonderful felted coats

so this year when he was offering a class

i was excited to sign up

his work is amazing and now i appreciate just

how much work goes into one piece

with christine alexiou

this is something i can do while watching tv

hopefully i will finish my sample before christmas!!
