Didn’t think I had anything to blog about!

I was talking on the phone this afternoon with Tammy and she insisted I blog about something!  I told her I haven’t done anything blog worthy!  I didn’t notice it has been a Month since I have done it!

Turns out I have been doing Lots of things~in between another week long sleep in. (They are still tweaking my heart meds and Dr. said that can make you fatigued)  

I have been hooking on my so called “cancer rug”.  I couldn’t decide whether to use black or white for the background so I chose both!  You can’t actually tell, but this is a tree…the tree of life!  I came across this quote somewhere and knew I had to include it in my rug.  On top of all the swirls I am going to sew one of those antique watch faces. (for the time, duh!)

So now my next dilemma is what color to use behind the text?  Maybe the reverse of the black and white!?!?!  What do you think? 

Friday night I was playing around with my paint pens and painted these shoes!

I found them for sale at TheSwanx.com.  I had these old shoes in the closet and practiced on them.  I had been looking at Ed Hardy purses and lovin’ them too.  They look like tattoos painted on the accessories.  Just my luck last week at the thrift store they had a sale for everything you could put in a bag for One Dollar!  You know what’s coming next.  Remember, I am a hoarder.

All of them are leather, and a few are name brands!  Can’t wait to play with these.  Who needs a purse? 

Spent all day Friday on the phone with our mortgage company.  I think it was Ter’e talking about having to argue with some dumbass kid over Very important issues.  By the time Mickey got off work I was half drunk and swollen eyed from crying after getting disconnected so many times.

I got it all worked out but the life insurance.  I told Mickey if I die this weekend to get an attorney and make them pay off this house!!!!!

After dinner I’ll be listing some new wool on Etsy.  Please stop by! ShabbySheepWool.etsy.com.

Mickey has called me to dinner.  His fab homemade pizza.  He starts with a Chef Boy A’rdee kit.  Fabuloso!!

Ciao bella

Pictures of hooking at the library Monday evening.

Dulcy working on her cottage rug she started in Jane Green's workshop in Maine.

A close up of the cottage. Aren't the rocks amazing? Dulcy is hooking this in a number four cut, which is TINY for our group!!!

Marsha is working on this large ship rug.

Contemplating how to hook the "waves" at the front of the ship.

Janette and her cute pumpkin couple. I think this is Maria Barton's pattern!?!

Renee' still plugging along on her window rug. I showed the rug, but not her face a few posts back. Very cool rug!

Next, the two Peepers!

Rita is working on another darling cottage rug.

Lovin' the colors of this one. The house wool is spot dyed and looks kind of like pink brick.

This is Vicki and her patriotic rug.

I've got a few projects going. No pictures though. I do have this picture of the wool I picked out for the 3D pumpkin I'm working on. It's a pattern by Befruitful Kreations. JoEllen has lots of neat patterns on her website.

Hope the rest of the week is divine for you!

Peace,

Sheri

Almost ready to Re-open Shabby Sheep Wool!

Mickey has been on to me every day for working so hard.  But once I get out all of the dyeing stuff, I might as well dye LOTS of wool!  Especially when I'm trying to get my Etsy shop opened again. http://www.shabbysheepwool.etsy.com

 

Solids...

Spot dyed...

 

and Textures...

Tomorrow I'll be doing the photography for the shop and hopefully by the end of the week I'll be OPEN for BUSINESS!!!

I'm Back!!!

I know in my heart I couldn't have done this without your prayers and well wishes.  Thank you again.

Peace,

Sheri

p.s. On shabbysheepwool I'll be donating a percentage of my sales to the American Cancer Society by the way of the Etsy group TeamEPE, Etsy Project Embrace.  Please see http://team.etsy.com/viewteam.php?id=685 to learn more about the group.

Hand dyed wool

OK, so I'm bad. I'm sorry. I know I said I'd post pictures of my latest dyeing on Sunday, but life got in the way. Friday I got my starter kit of Pro Chem dyes from Fed Ex.
So here they are now.


Mustard and two different "pumpkins" both kettle dyed


Navajo blue spot dye


Mixed berries spot


Tequila Sunrise spot dye

Blue Fescue spot dye


Stained glass spot dye

A different stained glass spot and Caymen spot

Peach sparkle, Dijon spot and Butterscotch spot

Crepe Myrtle spot dye

Sea Breeze spot dye
And finally Grenedine (Karen Kahle)




I am going to offer my readers first choice on this hand dyed wool. The spot dyes are $11.00 per quarter yard and the mottled "kettle dye" is $9.00 per quarter yard ( plus #3.00 shipping on the first quarter and an addtl. 1.00 per item after that. ) You may email me and order. This wool will be first come first served and is One of A Kind. I cannot produce the exact same colors again with the spot dyeing. I will be listing it on Etsy on Saturday the 9th so you have the opportunity to order it first!
I hope you like it!
Have a great hump day,
Peace,
Sheri
