I'm Wool Crazy, yet again!

You thought I had died; huh? Well, I'll have you know that I am very much alive. I was just on a blogging sabbatical of sorts. Life was just getting a little crazy here and something had to give so I've been Facebooking while I work and chat and work some more...". Have you "like"-ed me on FB? There's a little link on the sidebar, so you're very welcome to join in the chatter, just "like" me and you'll get all the updates!
On the crafty front I'll have you all know that the second and third Wool Crazy RR Pincushions have arrived. I didn't do a good job of documenting my progress but I did manage to take a picture of pincushion #2.

This is JoAnn Mullaly's pincushion, yes, THAT JoAnn Mullaly, the one who wrote the Wool Crazy Book we all love. Before she sent it on its journey across the states she added those wonderful acorns on the left there with the gorgeous oak leaves. Then, Roseanne Kermes added the other acorn and the gorgeous crow. I so wish you could all see it up close. Her work is just amazing. did you notice that cute "wool" embellishment?You can click on the image to enlarge it for a better view. It's the cutest darn thing! I added the pumpkin stack and the sunflower. I did a little stitching on the top there too. Nothing quite as fancy as JAM, but heck, she wrote the book; I'm just a newbie, hello?! LOL!

I have Pat Sloan's pincushion sitting on my table... hmmm... man, I can't believe I have to add something to that one. It's already been to JAM and Roseanne. Wait till you get a glimpse of that one. It's BRIGHT! I'm like a fish out of water! My brain only thinks in earth tones, argh! Stay tuned... Oh, and don't forget to "like" me on Facebook, so you wont miss me!

No Facebook for me, Brenda. Blogging is enough and plenty for me.

Great job on the pincushion, my friend. Love it!
