day 20

Yesterday
when I went down late at night
with my finished little felted base,
the living room was clearly lit by the light of the moon.
I know, the moon is full today
but you can hardly tell a day's difference !
Probably there will be no moon to see tonight
because the forecast is heavy rain, but maybe . . .

However, my little felt is black instead of white,
nothing to do about it,
so I have a "new" moon
:-)

a wet felted black/gray pendant on a fabric bead,

day 11

No sun today,

autumn is really on it's way.

That's not why I made a dark gray Jewel today :

I love colour

but gray and black are colours too !!!

(beautiful colours even  ;-) ...)

So that's why I proudly present :

Pink Ribbon  textile jewel number  11

A dark gray circle brooch

of gray and fabric

(diameter 5 cm)

embroidered with white, gray and a bit of silver

and many tiny seed beads.

Is this distinguished jewel is something for you ?

€ 10

Just let me know by email

fiberrainbow@gmail.com

(or leave a message as comment)

All the money goes to the Pink Ribbon fund

SOLD  !

bright star

See you tomorrow with another Textile Jewel !

a heart (is what we need)

I picked up an "old" piece 

with a heart

that was only pinned to the background.

Now I'm working on it again

Left in the background 

is a bit I received some years ago from Australia (Jacky)

The heart has some very old bits in it

and one small piece with only half a "flower"

so I completed it's form in stitch

It gets a black and white tail

(thanks Jude)

The black and white strip on the side I remember from years ago

in a workshop with Mirjam Pet.

Today our little grandson wore

(like a real Dutchman)

wooden shoes

(they are his mom's old ones !) 

Oh, how he loves the sound he is making

when he wears them 

!!!

And :

he looooves to clean up

(that all the droplets were on the outside

didn't bother him)

*

And finally :

 je suis 

 Charlie 

Because

violence is 

never ever

the solution 

for any problem

in the world

finally fixed

Pffffffffffffffft

Sometimes the solution to a problem is quite simple

though it's not always the thing you want !

Well, Blogger / Google made me do things

I didn't want to but left me no alternative

(at least I'm not clever enough to find an alternative)

Let's move on !

My face is better, thank you,  

;-)

So much better I dared go to the Stitch'nBitch group

in Rotterdam today

which was lovely.

At last I'm able to show the little pieces

of felt I made for December.

I finished ánd sent them both

(as a kind of bonus for being too late)

This was the first one where I forgot to add the black and white prefelt

And this the second one I made. 

With the stitching, I mirrored the black and white circles.

 (now I can start with the next one !)

HA ! felting is só much fun :

you can't start early enough !
