New Handspun Yarn- corespun "Urban Vibe"

One of my latest corespun yarns. Hand dyed Merino, Tussah silk, Romney, some crocheted bits, and a little firestar for some sparkle.

Stick Weaving- My first attempt!

Super fun and easy! Stick weaving is new to me, and appeases my need for instant gratification...I created this during the intense overtime periods of the Canucks game lastnight!

I used one skien of my handspun yarn...a blend of my hand dyed merino, cotswold, leicester, & some shiny bits and commercial stuff spun in there too.

Meet Winston, my first FURGOTTEN BEAR needle felted re-creation

Furgotten Bears is the name of my new line of bears. I have decided to use my art to help minimize the impact on our landfills. I now go on the hunt for unwanted, abandoned bears, and clean them up and give them an extreme make-over. I needle felt a whole new art bear from the old one. This gives each bear a new unique second chance to bring joy to someones life! Watch for my Etsy store opening soon!

I went to a sweet yarn shop in Vancouver called Baad Anna's. She had some delicious yarn that I just could not resist.

I made this crochet scarf (my first with patterned ribbing)

I love the colours.

Needle Felted Sweet Little Calf

Here is my latest creation. I made his eyes as big as I could, thought it just makes him irresistable!

Needle Felted Brown Bear

My friend Vikki was very happy to receive one of my needle felted bears for her daughter, who just became a big sister! Brynn, who is 6 years old, asked what my last name was, and that is what she named her bear! How adorable is that?

This is Nasby , the silly little bear.
