New Line -- Jewelry!

Just for fun I started putting together a line of earrings.  Each earring is a ball of felted wool or a group of small balls making a flower.  I've stitched small silver beads on some and put dots on others.  With help of Susan and Laura, I learned how to attatch the balls to a wire and then to the loop for your earring!  Because the balls are all different colors, I decided to sell them individually.  With the likes and dislikes of kids today who knows -- they seem kinda fun!

Sale Prices:
1 earring - $9.00  2- $17.00   3 - $24.00

Things in a Nutshell!

To start off, my computer and I --  well - we seem to be getting along pretty good right now.  Don't mention it outloud tho - I am planning on getting a laptop.  I figure Dick can play with this one while I can take a laptop with me wherever I go.  With WIFI all over the place, I should be able to sit in a cool coffee shoppe to keep myself and everyone else up to date with Hooked on Wool Primitives.


The weather has been really weird this Spring(?)  It had been warming up into the 50's!  It's now down to the teens!!  Tulips, daffodils and primrose are all up with buds and a couple flowers out already.  I still don't know how they haven't all been frosted off.  Don't get me wrong, I'm wicked happy they haven't!   But they must need some sun!

It snowed - 12.8" on Sunday! Up over the atenna of the car!  Hardly anything was open ! We haven't had a snow day like this for a few years. CLOSED!  I'm surprised the news was on!!!!

March Middle Market 2013

Great Day!  Lots of people walking around and Buying! all kinds of things. The weather was nice and the people are tired of winter!
Really nice sales!

Both the Border Leicester and the gray Lop Earred Rabbit sold right away.  I was all excited - I get to use my new CC attatchment for my phone!  It did not work!  so He got the cash and came back :-)
At that time, he bought 2 of Dick's pictures.  I can't find them on my computer right now however, one was of 2 pigs kinda each other a kiss and the other was of the dad cardinal feeding the baby.  That set of 3 is very popular!

My Dryer Balls again, were very popular.  I do need to get them into a local store so I can get a good outside market.  Eclectic is OK, vinatage is better,and really outside would be GREAT, (I think)

Just finished a Berkshire hog - that sold -- A couple of bunnies, pussy willows, chicken, and my just finished Jointed Rabbit! She's really a nice looking rabbit.  Shoe button eyes and all!  They all have a nice primitive look - no fancy beads, bows or ribblons. :-)

The next sale is either in April or June.  I need tyime to felt a couple of new pieces.  Santas, I need at least 4 big ones!

London

We just booked tour and our flight to London! July 16 to July 27!

Westminster Abbey
 

Dick got some information about a month ago - Premier Livestock is going to post a 10 day tour to London, Bath, Oxford and several other country areas with wool and sheep.  After a lot of thought and a little talking into, I got us penciled in before the invitation went public.  I'd love to go, Dick is excited to go - so  I know WE will have a great time going!
We can hear Big Ben in person!, see some just beautiful OLD country farms and towns - So, Yes, I found a great flight for us - Jim Davis and his wife and now Elton and his wife will be joining us.   Flight 86 to London from Chicago!



I'm not exactly sure what kind of shop this is - the name is FLEECE.  It's in Cirencester, England. During Roman days it was the 2nd Largest town in England.  It later became the town known for the riches of the wool merchants.  This will be very interesting.  I might want to stay at least more than 1 day!  We will be visiting lots of places with sheep and  places of other interest, but I think this town might be my pick.
I'll hopefully be able to take lots of pictures!
