Motifs & other Woolen Treasures.
I have been a very busy girl over the past few weeks. I have been on a creative ride that has left my head spinning. I have been creating all sorts of newness for Mitten Made this year. I have an ear warmer for the fall, I have designed a Gnome like Hat, and have created a caplet that is to die for. I am feeling good about this years shows, and hope to continue to build and create new items, that are well made and cozy. I have also decided to let go of some things that have not been that fantastic. Goodbye coffee cup cozy, apply cozy and button brooches. Out with the old and in with the new! I have also found a partner to work with this year at street fairs. This will make the days go by so much faster.
Hooped Afghan Motifs…
I had a thought last night while perusing through blogs on all the new colors of yarn and whats new in fiber. I came across the most stunning afghan blanket all crochet. each piece looked hand crafted and so old school. Each square looking better than the other the detail and texture made me smile, it reminded me of my Grandmother’s blankets, and ones that my aunt had crochet years ago but I remember them just the same.
I also came across cross stitch, now in the past I have tried cross stitch and some embroidery and frankly I wanted to cross stitch my eyes out. It is something delicate and masterful and I am as graceful as an ox. The gods have blessed anyone who can do that work, and I have not problem looking at those pieces and being left in awe. My hats off to you embroiders, and cross stitchers.
I love the idea of featuring motifs in a hoop. I love how each motif is it’s own art, and like quilting squares there is dimension.
I love this idea and I hope you do too.

These are such good photo’s. The Infinity scarf is fantastic and is so versatile. As a snood, scarf, or shawl they are cozy all around.
Last week I met a fantastic Photographer out of Warren, Michigan. She was nice enough to do a photo shoot for me. I also wrangled up a friend to model for me and I have to say together they are the bees knees!
These are the Crocodile scarflette photo’s.
Zelma & the Bow Ear Warmer
Here is Zelma…
Zelma is my display head, I recently have started working on a bow ear warmer for fall and winter. Zelma is sporting one here. She loves it, it’s green matches her skin tone and the pink compliments it.
I am excited to unveil these at the DIY street fair.
