I am trying to not do anything. So I made these two scarves, one for my sister. Numbers 354, 355

A scarf, made for Genevieve, the Summer Princess.

A new scarf. I will keep this one. It's short, not too bulky, and has no extra doodles. I like to be streamlined. 347

This is the Cousin It scarf, with fringe.

Another wild and woolly Cousin It scarf. Number 337.

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

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

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.

This is a Cousin It scarf, a bit woolly a bit weird. Number 259.

These are some samples of marbleizing.

I tested the paints to be sure they floated. Most of the metallics wouldn't float, even though we added lots of colorless extender to lighten them, but some of the silver shows in the purple one.

Numbers 240-244, aprons. These are for us to wear at the Harvest of the Arts show Saturday. Look for the coolest booth, and it will be us. By the way, those shapes are cactus pickles.

A new Turtle Purse, just finished, number 240.

Today I put the binding on 4 quilts, and made the hanging sleeves. You have seen these already, it's just finishing details. And I made a new Coneflowers and Mums quilt, which I will show you when it's quilted, tomorrow or Wednesday.

I have news too. I will be a featured speaker and teacher at the Great Lakes Quilt Guild, in April. I'm doing a trunk show, and teaching a Quick as aWink Quilt.

And, I will be vending at the Good Thyme Garden Club regional meeting, Oct. 22. I hope to have many new flower quilts for sale there. It's always feast or famine, so I'm doing all the shows I can while it's available.

Mudcloth, made with real mud from Mali. It has a real name too, but I can't think of it now. I made it yesterday, and washed out the mud today. The painting came out very black. The cloth was treated with a tea wash to make the mud stain set. The mud is from a secret place, and must ferment before use. I believe this cloth is hand woven too. It was a very fun project. Number 203.

The first crochet from the cherries and chocolate yarn. Don't know what this will be. Maybe I can think of a Valentine something for my daughters.

Maybe you can see it better now. I added some beads on the handle, and made some hanging doodles. That's a technical term. There are little doodles on the handle ends too.

Number 5 of 2009. This beaded bagette is not quite done, the handle will get beads woven through it. But you get the drift. My hand hurts, but I'm happy. You can only look at magazines so long.

A scarf for my grandson, done last night. Number 314.

My first pair of knit slippers. I think they won't be the last. Nice and toasty, number 307.

I finished this scarf. It took a long time, because it was tedious. The yarn does not slide off the needles easily, it was sticking to the plastic needles. But it looks good. Number 287.

Can you tell the difference? I added the fringe, and it looks better, a little more wild and wooly.
