A few new things...


The little mushroom house is finished up and I took it out into the front yard for a photo. Couldn't resist setting it near our driveway gnome.



 

A funny little painting that I am working on.



Got a little painting done on the owls today and that felt good. Need to get those wire legs done.


A fun read from my friend Penny. Makes me want to knit again. Rachael has a fun blog called 'Yarn a gogo'...


I hooked up another Milagro heart using some hand dyed wool for the background. I dyed several pieces of different weights and textures and chose the one I liked best. My plan is to make six hearts for upcoming shows and display them all in a row. Two down, four to go!


I left the wool in the dye pot overnight and it came out nice and richly colored.


Of course Henry had to come take  look to see what I was up to.


My wool drying on the honeysuckle vines. 
I think I am starting to get the hang of the Mac...yay!

Hi Mary,

Your Milagro hearts are a favorite of mine!
The hand dyed wool is like "candy"...fun color!
Your painting is so cheerful. I have not painted
in a long time and really miss it. So little time and so much art to do!
