Yarn-Needles-Paper-Glue..."This is my Life!"




Making scarves, playing with needles that Bob made.
Nice big ones, they are about size #17. Not too long, just perfect to make quick scarves for the folks in the oncology clinic.
He made them out of wooden dowels and they are great!

I'm hoping for lots of helpers on this project. SUNSHINE SCARVES.
Of course I can't do it alone.
If anyone can help or knows anyone who knits or does crochet LMK! My e-mail addy is listed on a previous day, below.

When you enjoy paper as I do, the rest...including glue and such, comes right along. There have been some fun cards and ATCs [Artist Trading Cards]that were created on my worktable this week. I seem to come to the table with an empty mind...no smart comments please, and then something prompts me to grab some stamps and paper and AWAY I go!
I had fun with the bright pink card and folded paper that made up the layered "flowers."

Anyone out there?


Where is everyone?

I am hoping that the diet is going well, the needles and hooks are flashing, and that any paper art is becoming a fine creation on your work space.
There that covers about everything. I wanted to know about. Tell me about your progress!

I finished several ATCs, Kitty Fairy is above...and now for that pile of sewing I harp about often.
The sewing fairy has not come in the night and finished it. Boo-hoo.

I am excited that I have had some response about the Sunshine Scarves for the cancer patients. By fall, there should be a pile to distribute. I meet with the oncology department coordinator on Thursday.
If any one can HELP, let me know. PLEASE.

Printer ink is goofy and the printer won't recognise the replaced ink cartridges. More coming from Epson. If these don't work I am going to run screaming into the night, because that means a new printer, yet again.

Clearing up the work room today to be ready for more paper art projects...see, I am trying to avoid the sewing corner!

Need People and Yarn!


A new special project.

I am asking for help from knit and crochet folks who have time to donate scarves for cancer victims in Phoenix AZ.
There is a need for this as a comfort and a nice gesture to those going through treatment.

If you read this blog and can help, please let me know. Post your comment and if you have advise with this idea, all thoughts are welcome.
If you aren't into needle work, pass this call out, to others.
We also need donated yarn and will try to supply yarn to those who can do the labor but can't afford to donate yarn.

Send replies if you wish to: kipper38@gmail.com
Thanks a lot!
