Recycled Wool Skirts For Sale

I'm getting rid of a lot of recycled wool skirts that I have collected for rug hooking but will probably never use, so I"m de-stashing what I can. I'm selling the skirts $2 a piece or for a certain price when bundled together. Most of these skirts are 100% wool or 80%. They are all washed and taken apart and ready to cut and hook with. These skirts are great for over dying or marbleizing with others . If there is a certain color your looking for, just let me know and I may have it. Most of these skirts are primitive colors and great for the old primitive look in your rugs.
I have more skirts that are not in these pictures.

THE WOOL GARDEN SUNDAY SALE

Hello everyone, I'd like to show you a few things that I have for sale today in my little shop.  But first I would like to tell you what I have been doing today.  My little craft shop/working studio has been so messy since the summer that I could barely move around in there and I think that's why I haven't been very creative as of late.  So I wanted to start the new year on a clean slate by getting my work area back in order and hopefully get some creative juices flowing.  So I spent most of the day cleaning and throwing out and putting things back where they belong.  I was to embarrassed to  show you the before pics of the mess, but did take some after pics.  When I look at these pictures, it still looks a bit messy but really it isn't.  I even vacuumed and dusted.  I bought tubs and sorted out my wool by color, even the leftover snippets are all in their little bins by color.  So here are the studio pictures.

Now getting back to my Sunday Sale.  I'm hoping to be able to sell out of most of the things you can and cannot see in these pictures, so I can have more space to do more crafts(sewing, hooking, felting and prim painting). I thought I would do a sale on Sundays and post it on the blog.  I say Sunday because its the only day that I have time to do this and hopefully there will be things that interest you.

SOME HANDE MADE XMAS GIFTS

Well I would like to start by saying hello to all of my blogging friends out there. It feels a bit weird to be blogging again since we're having such a hard time with our Satellite internet service, it takes time trying to post things now. I almost forgot how to post a blog and I haven't posted since September I think.  If our internet service doesn't frustrate me to much, hopefully I will be posting back regularly now. I thought I would start tonight's posting by showing you some little hand made gifts that I made for Christmas presents this year.

This one I made for my BFF. I primed up a little wooden frame and inserted a punch needle heart that I did on a piece of wool blanket.  She said she was going to put it down in her woman cave with all her favorite things.

 This is a prim sheep I made from my wool material. He's very primitive with a low back.  This was also for BFF.

This next one is for a good friend of mine at work. I primed up a little box and also did a punch needle heart.

This last one was for my boss to put in her office.  Its a small heart that I also needle punched and glued it to a small wooden frame that had a hanger on top of it.  I was in a heart mood and did a few as you can see.

Well that's it for tonight folks and I will see you back here again soon.

HOOKED FOOTSTOOL

Well its a snowy day here today and its been snowing since yesterday afternoon.  What a great day to get creative.  I've been dabbling a little again at punch needle this morning and will show you what I've been doing.  I have an idea where this is going.

  I'm posting the little mat I finished hooking a while back and put it on a small footstool.
The mat is a little design of 2 hearts and leaves and hooked on a #6 cut with wool material.  As you can see the little wooden footstool is a bit worn at the corners wich gives its primitive look.  Mesurements are 14"x7"x8"high

HOOKED MAT ON WOODEN DISPLAY CASE

I bought this wooden box a few months ago and thought it would be nice to hook a rug and put it on the glass top, and use this box to display  antique rug hooks or whatever else you could think of.   It has a drawer to  keep your dyes and books.  Just and idea of what you could use this box for.  It has potential for anything.  The wooden box is stained and has a slight chip on the bottom right corner of the case, but I think it hads caracter to the box.  The display case mesures 15" long, 10" wide and 9" high at the back and slopes down to 7" high in the front.
I hooked the rug on linen with wool material #6 cut and added a shiny black bead for the birds eye and one red bead for the only berry that was left on the branch.  The rug mesures 12 3/4"X 8 1/2"

PINCUSHION TUESDAY

I can't beleive its already pincushion Tuesday.  Before I begin, I just want to say thank you to the folks out there that have bought my pincushions so far.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.  I'm very picky on the china cups or creamers that I buy to make my pincushions with and I've  been having trouble finding that perfect one that will turn into a pincushion.  So this weekend I decided to sew some pincushion from the loads of wool that I have on hand and they turned out pretty good.  So for this week until I find that little porcelain masterpiece, I"ve made flower pincushions.
These little flowers mesure about 3 1/2" in diameter and about 1 3/4" high.  The two sides were machine sewn together from wool material so they will not dull your needles going in the pincushion. Each has a cute little button to make the center flower. They really were a treat to make.

On a different note,  I"ve been working on a small insert mat with my new Snapdragon frame, wich I love, love, love.  So hopefully will have that up for sale by the weekend.
