all hand stitched and emroidered

well, i suppose one new piece for the shop is better than none... especially considering how long it's been since i've updated

'ivy cottage' is a much larger soft sculpture house than i normally create... just over 10" tall. my nephew and i were discussing who might live in this tall home... perhaps a woodland girl? my nephew thought perhaps a tall, burly dwarf ;) what do you think?

i'm planning on updating the shop later today

roving, roving, roving!

was so excited to come home today and find my order of merino top roving from 

blue goose glen

and even more thrilled to find the actual roving just as beautiful as i had hoped!

such a wonderful source for fiber.

here are a few words about their farm and business:

"Blue Goose Glen Specialties began as a small farm-based business that grew from the love of these animals and all of the new worlds they have opened up to us.  Founded in 1995 in the small community of Blue Goose, located in the hills of Western Tennessee, this business introduced us to the crafts of spinning, weaving, felting and other fiber arts which have become a big part of our lives."
