~Greetings. The snow and the wind doth blow on this Tuesday morning in Vermont. We had a fresh new layer of snow overnight and now it is softly falling & is swirling about, slamming into the windows on a strong, bitter blustery wind! I shall be stitching the day away by a cozy fire. Wishing you a joy filled day.~

~Moppets~


My fingers are flying!!! Mohair & wool are everywhere!!! Bits of stuffing are floating through the air..put in motion by the gorgeous breezes wafting through my open studio windows on this warm & beautiful September day. I'm snipping, shaving & shading..bringing little moppet's to life as quickly as I can...Fall is in the air & in my studio!!! I have a tray of wee clay pumpkins drying in the sun....black mohair & alpaca await my scissors as I play around with patterns...making this a little bigger..that a little smaller... I'm thinking Witches hats & black cats....owls, pumpkins & walnuts on strings & sticks.....dried leaves & grasses..soft pumpkin pin keeps made just for wee moppets to sit & paper banners flying.........Turkeys' & crows and perhaps some geese.....even sweet little Ellephant Enid wants to be part of the festivities and is trying on a few different All Hallow's Eve looks.


Stayed tuned..................................:)

Hello Doreen~Sounds like a lovely day! Enjoy!

Ballard Family Travels said...

Doreen ,OH he is so sweet I can't wait to see him all prim and proper. I bet that everyone thinks because I am Mom that I always get to see what you create before everyone else but that is not the case. I love being surprised for the most part except when something I fall in love with is gone before I get to see it .Oh well sometime she finds time to make me one if it is not a one of a kind!!! So I am lucky in that way.Love you Mom

Heather said...

I LOVE this little bear and his thoughtful little face and that elephant? TOO sweet! You make the prettiest things!~

Wishing you a wonderful day!
Hugs, D
