Long time no see!

We've been busy with crias, the market and summer fun in general.

As you know, we've had four alpaca boys born on the farm this summer.

I could not help thinking of boy bands when I watched them in the pastures.

When I mentioned this to the farmer, he agreed with me

that we should rethink the names of our males.

So, introducing... 

THE BEATLES!

Harrison, McCartney and Lennon.

And this one is Ringo.



 

 Don't tell anyone, but my favorite is Harrison.

 

On the creative side, I've been experimenting some more with felting.

Here is one side

 

and the other side of vases I worked on.

The light blue with pink will need some embroidery to make the rose stand out a bit more.

 

 

 

And this vase was done on July 18th...when I was remembering that day 33 years ago when the farmer and I got married.

 

By the way! I've now joined the rest of the world and have a page on Facebook under the name of Zenitude Fibre Arts (spelling fibre the canadian way).

Come have a peak and 'Like' and 'Share'.

It would be great to reach 50 'Likes' before the end of the summer!

 

I hope you are enjoying your summer...

Happy

I've been felting.

I've been making soap.

I've been reading and learning.

I've been dyeing.

I'm happy!

 

I feel very grateful for this time in my life. I've been allowing my creative side to take over and to guide me along. It's wonderful!

 

I've been playing with fibre and felting more scarves. I'm improving on my technique...still learning.

I'm quite happy with this black one.

It's Coco cria fleece, so it's very soft. I added a blue mohair blend bouclé yarn.

Another cobweb felted alpaca scarf in pink . Very light and airy. 

 

Both sides are different.

 

But I've especially enjoyed making these 'socks' over glass vases. Some have embellishements some do not.

 

They can be used for flowers or you could use them with a tea light candle for a lovely effect.

 

Square vases as well.

 

I even decided to use one of them for my birthday flowers that I got myself yesterday!!

 

 

The family came over with food, cake and surprises for this old gal. I had a wonderful day!
