Started last night on a recyled/creweling project. (Sorry I’ve been spelling CREWELING WRONG!) Can’t show any pictures yet, but I can complain about my transfer skills. Most embroidery patterns are transferred from the pattern to the medium (linen/cotton fabric) by a reusable iron-on pattern.

I was saddened to find that the pattern I wanted to incorporate did not come as an iron-on along with the kit. It is ok, I am trying to transfer it to a bulky dark red-orange silk/wool felted blend of fabric, so it wouldn’t have shown very well anyway!

Homemade gifts are always fun for me to receive, but I have to think twice about other people. I wouldn’t dream of giving crafts to some people because they don’t realize the amount of work or planning that goes into some particular gifts. Some people just think it is cheap. The intended recipient(s) have a very keen art sense and style, so I’m hoping it works out.

No pictures of that project yet, but here are some dome landscape pictures. I don’t know what these flowers are, but they are the first to come up after the crocuses:

aaaah, periwinkle! This is the mother patch for the transplants:

Finally, the redbud trees are about to explode:
