There are 18 pillows with faces, so the count is 334. They are Naughty or Nice pillows. They say "Naughty...I intend to stay this way", and "Naughty is my best behavior," as well as 16 more things. They are all different, hand drawn, and painted.

I had extreme amounts of fun today. It was so fun, it was almost toxic. I can hardly wait to share this fun. I made all these felt flowers, and more. And I'm getting a die cutting system so I can do it at home. I promise, this is dangerously fun. I'll call it all just one item, number 316. But wow, it was much more than one point of fun.

More collages, numbers 307-315. Almost there.

These are 5" square collages. Numbers 301-306.

The rooster, grouted. Number 300.

I just fixed the writing, so you can read them. These are not counted yet, until they are done.




These mostly naughty ladies will be little pillows, after they dry. This was a lot of fun.

Five new necklaces, bringing the total to 299. Whew! I didn't think I'd make it this far.

Three more purses finished, numbers 292-294. These are bigger, about 10" by 12" or so.

Here it is, number 291. It's about 8"square.

I grouted the poinsettia mosaic, but have problems with my camera interface. I don't know if it's the camera, or the computer. I'll try tomorrow. The grout is green. Number 291.

Numbers 286 to 290. Five more finished purses. The small ones are about 6" by 9".

One of these cornucopias is mine. It's the far right end. We made these in a class at 212 Arts, way fun. Number 285.

Hi, did you miss me? I have been working, but had nothing finished to show. Now I have 6 of the 10 purses I've been working on done. These are for the Running with Scissors Christmas Bazaar, Nov. 28, at the Kof C Hall on 12 mile in Berkley. Be there, and see all the wonderful stuff.

I spent almost the whole day cleaning out my fabric stash. With the stuff I gave away yesterday, there are 9 bags of fabric. This allowed me to put the stuff that was in bags in the closet, and in the corner, on shelves. So, I have a pile of African wax resists, stripes, dots, ones I dyed myself, 2 piles of Kaffee Fassett prints, 2 drawers of batik scraps, a box of sparklies, a box of banner fabrics, and more, organized and ready to use.
And I put some of the felt away in big boxes. There is more to do. I have to find a place to store the roving, and another felt box. The room feels bigger. I have a backache.

Sparkling Poinsettias now hangs by the front window at My Favorite Cafe.

I added the Three Days of Christmas to the show at My Favorite Cafe. It hangs in the corner of the south room.

The Sunflower on Blue is replaced by this, Gourds and Asters.

Turquoise felt bag, with very cool Corian button. Thanks, Margie! Number 278 for the year.

You saw this before he had a background. I'll count it and the poinsettia when they are grouted.

Some flash glare shows on this new Poinsettia mosaic. Might use greenish grout.

A new Ghoul! Just in time to hang at my party tonight. I placed him on a mosaic mirror, so people can see a foreshadowing of their future. He is celebrating Dia de los Muertos. He arrived in the mail, from Leannderthal, so look at her blog.
