Season's Greetings ❤

A Stack of My Holiday Postcards (Front), a photo by whirlwendy on Flickr.

Tried to make my cards simpler to produce this year. Decided to make postcards. All was good until I realized the die-cut heart, that relates to the message on the front and back, could not be punched. Tore apart my favorite heart hand puncher to try to hammer out of paper instead with no avail. After running around town looking for a solution this morning, the best was to die-cut two 1/8 inch holes then hand cut a V. Sending extra ❤ out to everyone this year!!!

Spiced Apple Whirlscarf

colors . . . remind me of an autumn barrel of apples before becoming spiced cider . . .
candy apple reds mixed with cinnamon browns and bright granny smith apple greens.

This one-of-a-kind scarf was handspun on my wheel, plied with complimentary thread,
then freeform knit by hand. Made from a wonderful corriedale blend wool, kettle
dyed by neauveau.

 The cozy petal-like form connects to wrap interestingly around for a cozy fit and look.

For My ❤ LOVE of Color ::

One of my favorite artists, Lisa Hannigan, debuts her new album Passenger today.

Birds of a Feather

colors . . . remind me of a crest/fringe/plume of shiny feathers . . . blues, purples, white, black and brown.

These one-of-a kind little bowls hope to make you happy by catching your goodies inside for safe keeping.

And they also nest nicely together ~ as birds of a feather flock together.

It was hand spun, knit, fulled then finished with care by me, Wendy. Made from wonderful hand painted Rambouillet wool yarn in a gorgeous colorway named Pigeon by fellow Fiberista, Cloudlover.

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.
