Spinning! Weaving! Hand Dying! Knitting! Felting! I Am Pretty Certain I Have Discovered Fiber Heaven!
Submitted by Pam on Mon, 05/20/2013 - 17:13
Seriously. Fiber Heaven! Warm, cozy, comforting even on the chilliest, darkest and rainiest of Pacific Northwest days. I could almost spend every afternoon for the rest of my days sitting in this room playing with fiber.
And this is not all of it! There is much more to the right! Much more to the left!

Truth! When I decided to join in on the Plastic Canvas Blog Hop hosted by Diane over at Craftypod, I had never in my life made one single stitch on plastic canvas. Tons of needlepoint and Bargello stitching yes, but never plastic canvas.

Making Hexies On The Go Travel Kit
Submitted by Pam on Tue, 04/30/2013 - 19:40
Most of my readers know that when I am working on a project in earnest, I carry it with me almost everywhere I go to take advantage of what would otherwise be "lost" minutes! This habit is a big part of how I manage to fit as much crafty goodness into my life as I do! Generally speaking - most fiber crafts - knitting, crochet, embroidery and hand sewing - are excellent candidates! Hexies on the go - a bit more challenging! So many little bits and scraps - and hexies to corral.
