Changes

Autumn is a period of changes so it is just appropriate that my maternity leave ends tomorrow (after 6 weeks unpaid extension) and a new period begins.
It was so nice to be at home with John and the children. It was great and I made lots of pictures to take with me when I go to work just like nature gives us the last amazing landscapes right before becoming gloomy and cheerless so we could cheer a bit up before the winter..
Today Denzel and I hanged in the trees food for the birds and took some pictures of the beautiful fall colors in our garden.

UFO's

A few weeks ago I tidied up my creative space and gathered together from all the corners, boxes, shelves, chairs and closets the UFO's, the Unfinished Objects.
they where EVERYWHERE! I thought they would fit the box ha ha!



Everything in the heap is something I still want to finish one day. Therefore I set a new rule. If I want or need to begin a new project I must first finish one UFO.
The first finished UFO is the OOAK Moss green Fabric knitting tote:knitted with 10mm knitting needles, I used sheer fabric and green satin cut into strips and yarn and decorative yarn. The tote is fully lined with green satin and has 2 bamboo style bag handles. There is an inner zipper pocket inside and it closes with a brass antique magnetic snap.



And then I started right away my new quilt, with the temporary name (which may become it's name): "Cat counts sheep"



The cat's silhouette is needle felted with the machine to make it hairy.
