Where has the time gone???



Gee, I have not posted on my Blog since Nov 2005...where did the time go???So I have a lot to catch up on...I guess what took up most of my time was starting a new partime job..Even thought it was only 3.5 hours a day it seemed like much more..I guess I don't have the energy I used to...I work in an afterschool program in an elementary school near my home...Its fun and a little challenging keeping things interesting for a group of kids from 1st-5th grade..I have to say even though I am tired every day I do enjoy it..So now I have the summer off ( one of the perks) and its been a busy one....But now I want to catch up...I have joined two post card swap groups , a bunch of fiber artist and quilters that make postcards and swap with each other.....It has been the best learning experience ..these ladies are great about swaping their techiniques and tips...So I am going to try keeping up my blog and posting some of my fiber art ..I am brand new to this form of art but it is very interesting and I am growning..... Here is one of my first really original cards and I hope to post more in the future....

My latest interest..Machine embelishing

several years ago I found the art of needle felting ...I love creating dimentional animals and figures useing wool and a barbed needle..like sculpting......While takeing a class at my local quilt shop I mentioned it and they quickly asked me if I wanted a job teaching felting on their new machine...Wow!! I could not believe it!!so I purchased a machine to practice at home...I will post a picture of my first project....This machine is exciting I can see so much potential in it....so off I go in a new direction....I am excited at all I can learn and teach others...
