Today we took a hike after a cold week, ha ha, here in Mid Missouri, up to mid 50's today.  Our dog Red loves to run so he had a good run today!!!!!  After all the flooding there is some water trickling down the hill.

I've been wanting to paint some shoes, I purchased  these and made them into sheep for the fiber festival, they were pretty cute....now I thought I'd paint them in my Happy Patchwork design.  They turned out really  nice and I sealed them etc. and of course the paint cracked right away...so back to square one, peel off the paint and sand them down and start over!!!!  Hopefully that will work!!!!
Still can't figure out this picture placement, what a pain!!!  So, the coat of many colors...all upholstery samples...sewn together to make up this coat, I just love it and it is warm to boot!!!  It is trimmed in silk underlined and lined, front pockets.

And the last photo is my latest idea of repurposed wool felted onto pelon fiber interfacing, felted with the felting machine, covered in art yarns and stitched with the sewing machine and trimmed out with a few beads and ribbon and bound with a tie.  The next one is more organized with strips coming soon!!!

I hope the new year is going well for everyone, we are always busy what with clubs, groups, friends, exercise, and going out for lunch, gad all we do is eat!!!!  Today Dave and Brandon are trying to get this shelving done for my sewing area, ha ha this should be good.  As everyone knows I am a fabric hoarder and it's a problem, so 30 bins should help, labeling and purging, again ha ha ha!!!!  We shall see, it seems Brandon hurt his back while splitting wood and he's not quite upright!!!
