I'm back to blogging!
After much time spent shuffling between etsy, websites, and other platforms I've returned to the blog! I couldn't be more excited to simplify and downsize from juggling 6 forms of "media" to just 3- the blog, facebook and instagram!!! Stay tuned as I update and get everything in the right place here and get ready to join me on a #wildwestadventure!!! Who knows where I'll turn up stitching or scrapping!!!!

Pennies From Heaven
Website is up and running and will continue to be a "work in progress" and a "labor of love" for the time being. It's such a relief to have everything in one place finally with arms connecting to others. Prep for Spring/Summer shows is in FULL swing. First I'll share this wool penny mat I just completed. Exclusive kits will be available in my booth at the Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet Festival. 194 wool pennies in 3 different sizes. Thank goodness for my scrapbook dies and diecut machine that helped speed up the cutting out process. There's something very relaxing and therapeutic about hand stitching circles of wool.

Whirlwind Weekend Part Two
Quick stop at the wonderful Hershey Golf Club! Great to be back in this venue meeting with other retailers and small business owners. The tea offering and delicious lunch are awesome as well!
Whirlwind Weekend Part One
On the Road Again! Show travel season is on! First stop the Pennsylvania State Fair Convention, Hershey Motor Lodge and Judges School! It's the annual official event for county fair officials and volunteers. We participate, volunteer and support our fair and enjoy attending this event. I was pleased to participate in judges training for baked goods and needle arts. Huntingdon County fiber artist work was used to train incoming judges. A fine example of the talent in our area

Time For Repairs!
Preservation is an important part if working with old and new textiles. It's a privilege to be able to restore, repair and repair the works of fellow fiber artists. The stories that accompany them create family memories.
This piece, dated 1973, and made with fabrics from baby's crib blanket and Pap Pap's trousers is next on my list of things to do.
