52 Weeks of Felt Paintings - Week 18

Blueberries!!!

With this blue addition, I've now felted a rainbow's worth of food!  (I'm probably too excited about this...)

Florida Favorites - Part Two

Our trip was very nature-oriented. I keep a bird watching list, so I was sure to bring a book to identify birds while we were there.  (Go ahead, you can call me a nerd.) We had lots of fun beach combing and looking for the perfect shell (my favorite is pictured below.)  My only complaint was the mosquitoes in the Everglades.  I knew they would be bad, and they love me, but I ended up with three different repellents on me during that kayaking trip.  Ugh.  I kept running into the mangrove roots, because I was too busy swatting mosquitoes away. Ha!

Florida Favorites - Part One

My husband and I just got back from a two week trip to Florida last week.  We drove about 3600 miles in total, filled up our gas tank 11 times, and bought 6 bags of ice for our cooler.  When we travel, we don't like to stay in one place.  We wanted to see as much as we could, so we stayed 7 different places (some originally planned, some not) and not including the overnight stops on our drive to Florida and then back to Missouri.  Our stays varied from camping to bed & breakfasts.  We played on the beach, hung out with alligators in the Everglades, biked a few trails, and learned about rockets.  It was a good trip.  I thought I'd share some of my favorite photos over the next week or so.





























Check out Part Two and Part Three too!

I'm back!

 
Hi friends! I'm back from vacation, and I just wanted to let you know that I've reopened my shop!  I've already got some orders to fill, so I better go dust off my felting needles!
