Busy, Busy!

 Of course, I've been busy!  I don't think either Bob or I know how to just sit ALL day long and not doing anything.  I'm still walking 2 miles a day, weather and our schedules permitting with my neighbor, which is great!  The girls still get their 2 walks a day as well but that's only 1/2 mile...still we get lots of fresh air!  

I am excited about the workshop I took yesterday from Margarita K (Margas Crafts).  This was a Zoom class with four other ladies.  We were all from different states (Florida, Tenn., etc.) and a nice group!  We learned how to make Margarita's Instant Paper Cloth technique, which I been wanting to learn since I started following her blog.  This was my result!

I am excited about the workshop I took this past Friday from Margarita K (Margas Crafts).  This was a Zoom class with four other ladies.  We were all from different states (Florida, Tenn., etc.) and a nice group!  We learned how to make Margarita's Instant Paper Cloth technique, which I been wanting to learn since I started following her blog.  This was my result!

Margarita did a wonderful job teaching via Zoom!  First she would tell us what we were going to do then she had each step on video so we could watch before we attempted each of the steps.  Her class/teaching was very easy to follow.  I purchased her kit, which  I would recommend, and it was good so I didn't have to hunt around for what I may need or get the wrong supply.  

Margarita was very organized and answered any and all questions..she is a doll and such a sweet lady!  Plus, with her being in her own home, we got to see a lot of her work as well as some extra techniques!  I definitely would take another class from her and if you follow her blog, you'll see the classes she has available..I don't think you'd be disappointed at all.  Now I need to start saving magazine and newspapers!!!!  

I also made an apple pie today!  Beautiful fall day, even thought it's not officaly fall yet...but just had to go to the orchard to get some apples...not the prettiest pie but I think it will be taste good!!!  Our first apple pie of the summer/fall!



I'm also working on knitting a swatch for a cotton T pattern I want to make...actually, my sister is going to make it as well.  My yarn is a mint green..doesn't show up as pretty as in person but have to get my gauge right before I start..may need to go up a needle!  We'll see!

  3. I’ve taken only about 6 classes ever…in person and 30 years ago…..happily I have lots of teacher friends who’ve shared with me and of course my wonderful fiber friends here in the Asheville area. But there’s so many interesting techniques online now, I’m tempted….good for you to embrace this technology…..call me an oldster….I gotta get with it!!
