Thursday, July 16, 2015. We have finally caught up enough on the “have to do right now”. List for the house. That I can go back to work in the studio. I love working with wool fabric - stitching, dyeing and felting but. Especially I like the Shibori stitched and dyed wool. Dyeing wool fabric this way is great for applique but not for rug hooking. Rug hooking needs only shading which is easier to dye for. But Shibori stitched and dyed fabric has a wonderful patterning. So far I am very pleased with how it...

Thursday, March 12, 2015. Hi friends, remember me? I've been hit and miss for the past couple of years and MISSING you all like crazy! I've been cleaning up my blog this week.

It saddens me, but I'm VERY grateful for you that are still here. I rented a booth with a friend at The Grapevine in Claremore, OK last year. ...

http://berryhomespunprimitives.blogspot.com/2014/08/dining-room-shelf.html
Thursday, August 14, 2014. A close up of the red undercoat followed by another coat of black on top. I finished it off with black Bri-wax and loaded it up with a few prims. It's a nice addition to my dining room, especially with all the natural wood. Best of all, I love how it only cost me $3, a little paint, and an afternoon of fun with my little guy. Oh, and look at the tiny butter mold I found, barely 1 1/4". I was SO excited! Thanks for stopping by, wishing you a grand week. XOXO Love ya Fran. Love y...

Sunday, July 13, 2014. Regrouping After Folk School. The last couple of weeks have gone by with a blur, and I am still trying to process all of it. I spent last week at John C.

There were nine students who were sampling in preparation to weaving a coverlet, which meant working out how to weave overshot and lots of drafting. Student Exhibit of Overshot Samples. To find out about them. I have my ...
