the new new blog shows us how to FELT ROCKS

now we all know (or we should ALL KNOW) how wonderful resurrection fern is. that's where i first got a gander of felted rocks. man, that woman, margaret is something. she's a doctor (i believe) AND one heck of a crafter. if i could meet one crafter over coffee, it sure would be her (not to discount anyone else. i'd love to have coffee or in this weather iced tea, with a TON of crafters i admire and am jealous of).


and here's the tutorial for the felted rocks (TWO ways; by hand and by machine). picture from the new new blog

i am always inspired by

resurrection fern ESPECIALLY her beautiful wondrous awe inspiring covered stones.

this is MY covered stone (nothing like hers. i couldn't do one of hers try though i might. SO, i just didn't try to do hers. i did MINE. i was locked away inside all day today. i worked from home due to the inclement weather. during my lunch break i picked up a river stone i had, a crochet hook and some noro that was laying about

another quick gift idea

snail knife rests (OF COURSE!!!). i think they're adorable. they're from esprit cabane the magazine of crafty and green living ideas. pics from esprit cabane as well

(i did find the above from a readers comment on resurrection fern, one of my personal favorite blogs of all time. )

i love this woman

and her work more than i can even express

every time i look at her blog resurrection fern i am amazed and inspired and just awestruck

just LOOK at the haycorns she's gone and made! and as we all know that's what tiggers like the best!

in all seriousness i DO have to say she has one of THE BEST craft blogs out there. her photographs are beyond the pale. her work is well out of the ordinary without being freakish. it is awe inspiring

we had a crocheted one yesterday

today a knit one: cowl/neckwarmer
