New Friends......I'm ready for spring....

It snowed today, the first time we have had real snow along the shore this year. As beautiful as it is, I have had enough of winter and long for pansies, ranunculas and tulips. I'm also ready to see the sun more than twice a week.......enough complaining I guess. Back to the sewing machine.

Staying warm and busy................

I don't know where the time goes, here it is almost February. I was sure I would be good and post at least once a week and already a month has gone by.

I have been keeping the house warm with 2 dye pots going......steaming up the windows and giving myself a cheap facial.

I started selling my hand dyed wools on Ebay under seller name Hallowed Hill Primitives, a name I share with my sister Sarah who is an amazing hooker and sells her finished pieces as well as patterns. Take a peak at her blog....thepaisleystudio.......she posted her finished hooked laptop case. I also have listed a few pieces in my Etsy shop........

Sarah and I will be vendors at the Fairfield Rug show in March.......the info is on our blog ,

Hallowed Hill Primitives.......maybe we will see you there.

Back to the pots..............

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU !!

It's only taken me about 6 months to pay some attention here..........time for a new start for everything!

Let me introduce you to Mr. Whipstitch, the mayor of the Thimblefolk. ( Oh, how I wish there really were thimblefolk at my house to help me sew and stuff...) I designed and made him for my logo, he is about 12 inches tall and he sits on a giant tomato pincushion I made from vintage wool. I needle felted his face......not bad for my first time needlefelting??? He wears a pewter thimble shotglass on his head for a hat....he sits on my sewing table and keeps me on my toes.

I need to thank my sister for making my banner, I have yet to master the computer, especially graphics. We share a blog together.......hallowedhillprimitives.....and she has a blog.....paisleystudio.

Be back again soon,
Barb
