Lost and Found

  Many of you know that the last few weeks I have been busy de-cluttering. In fact I think I'm going to need to come up with a different word when referring to this because I'm getting almost as sick of seeing the word in print as I am of actually doing the job! Anyway, the good part of the whole process is that I'm finding all kinds of stuff I had lost (more mis-placed). This wool wall hanging is one of them.

This is a Sue Spargo pattern. The neat thing about this project is that you have so many options to choose from. There are a lot of different patterns and embellishments, colors, and fabric choices.

I personally love working with wool. It's sturdiness makes it so easy to handle while working it on

your lap and watching the tube at the same time if you're inclined to do so.

All of the wool for this project is from used wool coats or blazers. Yes, I get all of it from Salvation Army or Value Village when they have their 50 percent off sales. I wash all of it in hot water and after it's dried, I rip the seams. I also do this with sweater fabric. I will show you what I've made with that material tomorrow. All in all, I have over a dozen totes of wool yet to work up. Now that I don't have the garage to store it in any longer my loft is looking more like a storage area-yuck!

                   I guess a solution for this would be to get busy and get it all done up!

              Here was last nights sunset just as it was falling behind the islands treetops.

                     Hope your fall day is as lovely as it is here. Blessings-Kimberly
