I thought it has been a while since I shared a bit of the local native life, so come join me for a taste of Hawaii as seen in our neighborhood :)

bowl or hat?

Okay so while this does make a Very fun hat, as you can see by those extremely red cheeks, it is just too warm for Hawaii.

taking time to smell the roses

Okay so its been a while since my last post, sorry for the delay..and on with the show :)
Happy crazy knitting ideas like knitting in-the-round, on hand made, rather large, double pointed knitting needles.
I'm dreaming of the most wonderful felted bowl, but much bigger than these smallish utilitarian variety I've made before.
Yes bigger is better :)
I can't wait to see how this is going to turn out, meet you back here with the "Big" reveal..tee hee hee ...couldn't resist that one ;)

*sneak peak*

.. just a taste of some of the new designs I've been working on.
I've been playing around in the studio and having a lot of fun (sometimes too much) trying out some new ideas on some of my favorite felted friends. This little lady is a fanciful version of your favorite and mine tofu the giraffe. With a magical twist.
;)
Now my original goal of getting these new designs into my etsy shop by the end of this month has been extended due to computer issues ..can we say...fried motherboard? ::sigh::
Well, thank goodness for internet phones, hooray!
So, for now I'll just have to settle on sharing some eye candy with you as I progress with all this fantastical fun-ness ;) but just until we get back on track, and I can send some of these friends home to you :)

a piece of trash?

Maybe some of us would say that a tiny 3 x 4 scrap of cereal box cardboard is a piece of trash, or elevated it a bit to be recycled into another paper product. I however saw a super cute & tiny, Adorable Puzzle, just the perfect thing to keep all those little sets of hands that are always visiting my studio, busy. Turns out to be equally enjoyable for larger hands as well. :)
Happy Thursday everyone!

grand plans

Over the last week I've been a busy bee cutting into my sweater stash I brought over from the mainland. Lots of breaks and deep breathing were necessary, as I cut every sweater and some of my most favorite heavenly cashmere into tiny bits using up every last inch. The good news: I now am in process of sewing up this stack of friends destined for my shop at the end of the month. The bad news: I now have empty sweater crates and the very limited thrifting for wool sweaters that I have done here on the island has not been very promising ...although I have gotten some pretty awesome dresses. ;) I'm dreaming of some open ended sewing time in my very near future where I can really focus some of this creative energy that has been building :)
What are your grand plans and dreamings today?
