New Items for the 2007 Market Season

Fresh Carrot



Finally Finished Derby

I'm positive this tote will be a hit.

Hard to believe there have already been four Markets this year.....only one missed for bad weather. This season has started out very strong and is a good time. I really look forward Sundays in Littleton, along the river.

More Works

Above pictured handbags are made from the same original pattern I designed to be easily modified. They really don't look similar. Fiber for these bags was purchased from the Persimmon Tree Farm www.angoragoat.com/persimmon/fiber.html at the NY Sheep and Wool Show, Sept. 2006. www.sheepandwool.com Each closure is a pewter button purchased from the PA Renfest, the button on the blueberry bag (lower pic) is a bee.

Some of My Work

These are a few examples of things that I have done in the past few months. Both of the above have since sold, and to the same person now that I think of it.

The top handbag is an original design and is knitted and felted from hand spun Romney that I was inspired to blend in a friends carder. There are about four colors mixed with natural to arrive at this blend I call, Alpine Glow. The closure is a nature horn toggle.

The lower hand bag is knitted then felted from a blended wool/mohair I purchased at the NY Sheep and Wool Show in Rhinebeck, Sept. 2006, the east coast spinners "Mecca". I bought 8oz. of this beautiful fiber from Persimmon Tree.... choosing between all their colors/blends was difficult. It spun up soft, fuzzy and luscious. The closure is a pewter button from the PA RenFest that I went to while visiting my sister later in October. I love how elements come together and make a story of their own.

I have many more projects to share...mostly bags. All that will be viewable here are sold works. For currently available bags to buy please see my shop at Etsy...
