Butterfly Gardening I--on display at the Bingham Creek Library---until the end of August

Click the title above to see how to get to the Bingham Creek Library to see my pressed flower art piece. After this last showing. it will be coming home.

I work with natural fibers of cotton and wool. This includes knitting, quilt making, needle felting, and sewing and yes even crocheting. I am learning a new crochet pattern for a baby afghan from Pat. Just going into a fabric shop and seeing all the wonderful prints is exciting.The myriad of fabrics is delightful. I enjoy all kinds of flowers--flower gardening, painting flowers, pressing flowers, and felting flowers. The out of doors is my favorite place to create. It may be a birdhouse with a succulent covered roof and a rock faced front, tufa pots, or cement leaves or it could be about anything that looks interesting. I like to do journal writing and family history (mostly I like to read and collect the histories and I love the old photographs). I like to read non-fiction and historical fiction. If it's a true story or based on one, I'm interested.
