I've started making rugs.

She thinks she's fabric lol. This is adorable.

Beautiful! Which beach? We are just across from Agate Beach in Newport.

Excellent. I still have hope, however slim, that accountability can happen...it just seems like at some point this tide must turn.

They aren't following laws

I just love this one. Gorgeous!

Excited to have two of my pieces displayed at our little local art gallery!

I crocheted some yarn over clothesline rope today and am going to try making it into a basket 🧺 😅

This fun piece was made using upcycled CDs.

That's a scary thought. Where I live, we just got a new place that does servicing. Before that it was a 2 hour drive. I took my vintage Singer 401A in immediately and next in line is my 20 year old Pfaff.

So lovely 😍

This is for the Yaquina Art Association exhibit in February.

I finished this blue yarn/rope basket with a denim tab and jeans button. I really like the irregular textured look I'm getting by combining the chunky yarn with the rope. Fun fun! This one is about 6 inches in diameter and 3 5 inches high.

Wow these colors are just so gorgeous 😍

Happy accident! This was an experiment/prototype basket and it wasn't what I was trying to make but I absolutely LOVE how it came out! It's super soft with yarn woven randomly in and out of the clothesline rope I sew baskets with. I added a little leather tab and matching rivet.

We are leaving the "f-ing around" stage and entering the "finding out" stage

This is really beautiful. Love it!

Well that sucks. What a bummer.

Thanks hubby. Love ya!

Nice to see you!

Question:

I have a custom order for a basket, and she wants colors that aren't appealing to me, but she was specific. Beige, baby pink, dark brown, and avocado green. Emphasis on the beige with hints of the other colors. Do you think these look good together?

I've finally completed my art exhibit entries and changed my mind on one. I decided my weirdly shaped, strangely colored basket would be a better entry than the octopus which I didnt really like. And I created a giant spoon to go with the giant coffee cup.

Same. Sometimes, they try to befriend you in a DM. Thats why the first word in my bio is "Wife". I'm here in part to make friends but not THAT kind of friends. Go on a dating app for goodness sakes!

We took a beautiful drive down the coast today. It's so gorgeous here when it's sunny!

You're here with the cool kids now, that's what counts!

I love my country deeply, but I have never been more disappointed.

Dear God, please don’t let the damage be irreversible.

I'd probably be scared to use it since I've only used cotton fabrics for backings, but I bet it'd be really pretty 😍.

Thank you, I'm going to a Fiber Arts exhibit today, and I know I'll probably get all kinds of inspo :)
