Feathered and Fingerless

Sweet little Guinea feathers



Mini-guineas for me




Sugar Sweet Fingerless Gloves



Lacy Striped Fingerless Gloves

The little guinea feathered earrings look so cute and hang well.  I even made a teeny pair of guineas for me.  Now to see if I actually wear them.  A couple of friends have challenged me and said if I do they would.  We'll see.  Us 60-plus-ers have been know to throw caution to the wind.  Hmmmm.  

The two pair of fingerless gloves I made a while back have sold so the shop owner has requested more.  I had purchased a couple more pair just in case and worked them up a few days ago.  Hope these wind up under someone's Christmas tree this year.

I'm working on super large flowers for a screen commissioned by a wedding photographer to be used as a backdrop.  Pics to come soon.  Happy weekend.

Arm Warmers

I fulfilled a request from Amy at Smore Couture and made a couple pairs of arm warmers, fingerless gloves, with lace.  I used a pair of socks for each and zig-zagged lace around the raw end that had been cut straight across the heel, leaving the finished end on the top.  Many of the on-line tutorials suggested the reverse but I think these look better.  I decorated each with another snippet of lace and either pearls or black faceted beads.  They look really cute on and I realize now that should I want to sell these online myself, I'll have to hire a model for pictures.  I have fours Jr high/high school girls in the neighborhood who would make good ones.
