Update


Well, looky here. It has been an age since I posted. This, I'm sure, is not the last time I will disappear from here for a while. It's just the way I roll. I get really into something and then it's pretty much dead to me. For example, grilled cheese sandwiches were dead to me from age 7 until about 12 and then made a brief shining reappearance before being gone now for longer than my kids have been around. I just don't want one. I know I have enjoyed them and will enjoy them again, but there it is.

Short version, I have a pitiful span of attention.

So what has been going on, you ask? Well have a look...



There has been a lot of quilting. It isn't something I thought I would like but as it turns out, it's pretty addictive. I really enjoy that they always keep you warm and you don't have to worry about making them flattering. Quilts fit everybody.

And then there was some felted art for a show in December. Seriously. I know I've been gone a long time but I really have let this time away get a bit out of hand.

And some non-felted art for the same show based on the very amusing novel Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters.
And all the while teaching myself how to do my own eyebrows and make myself look like the undead. A girl only has so much time to perfect these critical things.

I know I could have spread these projects out to get the maximum air-play from each of them but time marches on. There will be more in the future but I am leaving you for now with this charming picture of myself at Halloween.

When I say "Craft or Die" I mean it.
