Crafty Folks I Love: Bossy's Feltworks

Last month when we were on Orcas Island, 

I got to meet the great women of Bossy's Feltworks.

Those gals know how to felt!
 I loved to see all their creations in real life.

You can shop for all their cuteness here,
and read all about their life here.

I taught a great group to make needle felted birds in September.

It was so fun to watch their little personalities form out of felt.

This month a the class helped grow a plump pumpkin patch.

And next month will be Gnomes!

You can join the fun on November 30th from 5-7:30pm at collage.  

Call 503.249.2190 to register.  I'd love to see you in class!

happy yellow.

My dad had a silly pair of glasses that he called his Happy Glasses.

They were just yellow lenses, maybe for fog?

All I know is that he would put them on while driving,

and sway back and forth like Ray Charles

tickling out a great piano tune.

We would laugh and laugh.

Sometimes I think fall is like those yellow tinted frames.

Everything explodes with yellow glee, 

and I can't help but thinking

"It's alright."

Poppy's Day.

Today is Dead Dad Day number 11.

But, I was so amazingly lucky to have a fantastic father,

that today I just like to remember what a

wonderful, funny, silly, kind, caring,

warm and creative man he was.

I wish everyone got to have a Dad as fantastic as mine.

He is missed and loved deeply by all who knew him,

especially me.

Love you Poppy.
