Is it Summer Yet??

Well school is out!! Yipppppee! Trying to finish some projects, here is one of my summer thyme goodies. Been so busy with stuff around the house, my kids, etc... Sorry it took me so long to update my blog!

So excited, planning a trip to Scotland and Ireland at the end of summer! Having my passport renewed etc. I have a cousin who I ADORE, she lives in Edinburgh, so I am going by myself to visit her once the kids are back in school, thank dear hubby! She suggested we visit Dublin while I am there, we are both very Irish! LOL! FUN!!!!!

I LOVE U2, been a fan for longer than I care to remember. We plan to stay in a hotel owned by Bono and The Edge! LOL!

Memorial Day Flags!

Happy Memorial Day!

I hooked up some flags just for the occasion and listed them on ebay! Sometimes I hook the star in mustard, but this time I stitched on rusty stars!!! FUN!

Hello! Just trying to wind down the school year here for our 3 kiddos. It has been quite an experience homeschooling our oldest this past year. She will attend the nearby middle school in the Fall, which makes me VERY nervous. UGH! LOL! We live in a small town, but our middle school has a bad reputation! Scary......

Thankfully, I have my diversions, and as the Wool SJ calls them "Dyeversions" too. LOL! I have been working on a big flower order, some of which are coneflowers, so I made these top 2 sets for ebay. I already sold the Black-Eyed-Susan's to a super great lady! I am hoping to offer a pattern for them sometime. The cone's I made for the order are cream, rust, peach, brown, etc.. very pretty together! I should take a photo of them.

Dyeing the purple cone's can be fun, I usually use one of the Cushing's rose shades and bit of blue, such as Copenhagen or Sky Blue. Copenhagen has a periwinkle sort of cast to it, so it works well. A touch of a red and a blue is nice too, if you don't have a rose dye on hand. I also add a bit of brown, green, or yellow to tone down the "brights." I just look at my wool while it is wet and see what it needs as a drabber, then add it in. End of the school year best wishes to all, see ya again soon! Cathy

I am also having a sale in my ebay store until the end of the month!!

Isn't it fun???

My latest creation, when I saw it, I knew I had to bring it to "life" per Se!

Lately, I have been having trouble getting on my computer. My daughter Gabby, she is 7 is really into the Webkinz!! lol! They are really cute and a wholesome good time for her. Every time I tell her need to get on, she stands over my shoulder waiting for me to get back off. Not to mention my almost teenager and her MP3 player, always downloading songs, etc.. I guess I am reluctant to let them have their own computer, then I can't watch them as easily...hehe.

So between my orders and my kids...well ya know!!! LOL!! STylized biRDie BlesSinGs to all!!!
