Here’s the Bzzzz

Last week our friends Duke and Janet stopped over and brought us a jar of their very own blue ribbon honey.   I tell ya, this is the best honey I’ve had since the jar they gave us last year. So for a thank you gift, I made Janet a cute little bee hive pincushion just like this one that’s in my Etsy shop.While out walking this week, we saw more and more signs of fall.  The ash leaves are turning yellow, ferns are getting brown and acorns are falling.  Yippee!  Fall , my favorite season is right around the corner.  Sometimes I accidentally come up with some really cool  color combinations.  While going through my felt pieces I saw a piece of cranberry felt and next to it was a piece of aqua rick rack that I was planning on using on a brown background.  I looked at the two colors and thought to myself, I really like these two colors together.

Fall in the Northland

Even though it's still officially summer, things are looking a lot like fall here in the Northland. I love everything about this season. The temperatures, the changes in nature and especially the colors. Here's a sampling of some of my fall creations. This is just the beginning of an assortment of fall colored pincushions.
