The leaves are off the Dogwood.
The wind blew them all over the backyard.
A few berries remain.
A small flock of Starlings came for berries.The wind blew them all over the backyard.
A few berries remain.
The Robins and the Cardinals had already eaten most of them.
My bag was finished by 5 pm.
Felting is magical!
Lovely photos of your birds, bugs and bag. The Cardinal looks so excited with its berry. I am surprised at all the bugs you still have.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful afternoon to watch your birds, bugs, and craft.
ReplyDeletei really love how the purse turned out.
I love all this RED! Was the Cardinal your inspiration? :-)
ReplyDeleteI have never tried felting. Your purse turned out beautifully.
Your purse is so colorful - just like you and your pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been so beautiful here both yesterday and today, I feel like mother nature is celebrating the changes to come!
Sherry~your bag is beautiful! I can appreciate it even more after learning the process of making it from the very first step. What a satisfying way to spend part of your day! Love and hugs~carol
ReplyDeleteDear Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI did a fun series of Cardinal photographs. One with him looking at the berries before deciding on which one to pluck!
When the sun comes out so do the bugs. A few butterflies too.

Dear Marmee,
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am looking forward to taking my purse out on it's maiden flight.

Dear Deb,
ReplyDeleteI think you would love felting. It is fun to do. Some knit with the wool and felt what they knit. I do not know how to knit. I bet it is fun.

Dear icqb,
ReplyDeleteIt also has been lovely here.
I was pleased the sun was out so I could dry my felted pieces outside.
It feels good to be creating again.
Sherry
Dear Carol,
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have enjoyed shopping for all the secondhand pieces that went into my bag. My daughter said I was "Up cycling". I like that.
Hugs,
Sherry
It's interesting to see how you are using your secondhand objects to do your projects - very creative.
ReplyDeleteDear Chris,
ReplyDeleteI decided that I was to only use secondhand in my projects. That way I stay challenged to be creative!
I shooped a new to me thrift store today. They are having a 75% off sale on MOnday on all of their clothes. I will be going and looking for silk dresses for linings!
It is fun.

That starling has more stars than I have seen on any starling in my life. I think all the birds and insects dress up just for you.
ReplyDeleteThat purse is wonderful!!!!!!
Dear Maria,
ReplyDeleteThe Starlings, in their winter dress, are very handsome birds!
I am so pleased with my bag! For my first felting project I wanted something exciting and fun and not too dificult to make. I wanted something that would sew up fast and I would use right away. My bag is everything I hoped it would be.
Thank you for, "talking felt"....
Sherry
