Magic Geranium Whirlpurse

colors . . . remind me of vibrant geraniums that seem to magically keep on blooming . . . bright pinks, purples, blues and greens.



This one-of-a-kind purse was hand knit, fulled, needlefelted then finished by me, Wendy. Made with wonderful handspun + dyed merino wool yarn in a gorgeous colorway by fellow Etsian, Cloudlover69.

A magnetic clasp, handsewn with coordinating fabric, keeps essentials happy inside.

Boom Boom Whirlscarf

colors . . . remind me of high energy music . . . a blend of turquoise, blue and purple.



This super-soft one-of-a-kind scarf was handspun + knit by me, Wendy, with handpainted merino wool by Cloudlover.

The colors + textures + looped knit shape work together to wrap interestingly around for a cozy fit and unique look every time.

Inspired by Autumn



This past weekend I visited a nearby arboretum and forest.



It was a gorgeous sun-filled day, perfect for taking in all the colors of the season.



Hope you enjoy.
