Post-It Project

I found this today wandering through cyberspace... I thought it was a cute idea.. The Post-It Project is a blog that is full of Post-It note doodles and art. It was started as a way for the blogger to keep track of his doodles that he would do at work. It has become quite an active place with anyone able to have their post-it doodles and art uploaded on the site.

This particular picture was found in the Flickr group of alana jonez.

I'm Finally Back...

Hello again after the longest blogging pause I've had yet. There is much that has been going on, but will take a while to get it all up here.

These are the lovely fabric postcards received from the Art We Mail group of very talented ladies. These are from different points around the country and a couple from New Zealand. Mine have been sent and alas, I did not think to get a picture of them before they were mailed.

This is my dowel rod and wooden toy car wheel spindle. With a little help from my wonderful DH (drill press for starter hole in the cuphook end), it was done in about 15 minutes or so. A little sanding along the sides and voila! we're off! Well, the first roving (needle felting roving from Hobby Lobby) was pretty bad, but it was good enough for me practice the basics. Took a little while to figure it out, but is much easier than I thought it would be. This is the 3rd usable yarn that I have spun, the other two being a bulkier yarn that is being knit into scarves. The current roving I am spinning and the previous roving (now being knit into scarves..grin) are Blue Faced Leicester wool that I ordered from Funky Carolina Etsy shop. (What great service and wonderful roving!)

More tomorrow....

Fabric Post Cards

I have joined a fabric postcard group and enrolled in 2 swaps. This comes to 10 fpc's that need to be mailed by the 15th of July. So, today is the day.

This is the first postcard I ever made. I really wanted to use the flowers on it, so it would have had to be mailed in an envelope since the cards cannot be over 1/4" in depth. But I still have it and will not be mailing it anyway...grin
