Two completed projects to show this week.
They will both benefit from a blocking soon, to help them keep their shape better.

Stash Enhancement Xercise
100% pure NZ Merino top.
Colour : Deep Rainbow.
For a needle-felting project starting sometime early(ish) 2017.
I am so lucky to have discovered a treasure, a very local hand-dyer of beautiful fibers and yarns, he lives about two streets away from me. Ian recently won a 1st prize award for a crocheted afghan made with his hand-dyed fibers.
This is my first purchase from him (the first of very many I'm beginning to think).

And just to add to the season of Jollility, here is my decoupage tree, making another appearance this year as I love it's simplicity.

oooh - your stash enhancement looks gorgeous - can't wait to see what you're doing with it!
ReplyDeleteThe project is still on the design board atm, lol.
DeleteI'm pretty sure that fiber is terrible and you need to send it to me for proper disposal. Yeah, that's it. Disposal. On my wheel.
ReplyDeleteHaha, nice try, but it's staying here.
DeleteI love your doilies and the colors. The fiber is awesome and you are a lucky one! Great tree too!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to have a supply of lovely colours not far away.
DeleteBeautiful doilies and the fibre is to die for.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is rather scrumptious, isn't it.
DeleteA very local dyer sounds like a wonderful (and possibly expensive) treat! I also like the simplicity of your tree!
ReplyDeleteI'll wait for the New Year before buying any more, lol.
DeleteLove your doilies and that wool looks so yummy, amazing colours, cant wait to see what you make with it. Sorry I missed getting to you last week, Looked at the last few posts your work is outstanding! Oh I love the tree!
ReplyDeleteThat's ok Sharon, it's a busy time for everyone.
DeleteBeautiful crocheting. The tree is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSuch lovely doilies. And your roving.,...the colors speak to my heart.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the Deep Rainbow name of the roving too, lol.
DeleteOooh... I especially love the white and blue and tan doily. So soft, almost ethereal looking. And how fun to live so close to someone who dies yarn! Dangerous, too, I suppose. At least it would be for me. ;^) And that tree is so cool! I'm curious what the base is made of. Your projects always make me curious. And pique my interest in doing new things.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becki. The tree is mdf board cut to shape (I bought it ready cut), and then I tore loads of Christmas Carol sheet music paper to stick on it. The board is made in two piece that slot together, but I accidentally used too much glue on my decoupage, and now the tree will not come apart anymore and has to be stored as is. Ah well, I still love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for explaining, Cyra!
