I don’t blog that often. I should do more. It’s just time. I’m a one person show most of the time and I love it but it’s a lot of work!
Two weekends ago I was at the Craftery Market in Perkasie, Pa at the Pennridge Airport. And it was so. much. fun. Being a vendor is a lot of work, but I went home so inspired by all of the other makers. Here are some of my pictures from the event and some of the products I brought with me.
Last weekend we had the privilege of having Terri Leamer come teach a rug hooking class. Students were able to pick from 6 designs, all chair pad farmhouse themed. The pig and cow were the popular choices, but they are all darling and many in the class will be completing more of the designs. Terri is such a patient and talented teacher and I heard over and over from the students how relaxing it was! They didn't want to leave. We will be bringing Terri back in for more rug hooking classes and a finishing class soon!! So stay tuned by following us on Facebook and Instagram and by signing up for our email list.
Terri has a blog and you can follow all of her creative farmhouse inspiration here!
The six choices for the class. The pig was the most popular, with the cow in second place :) All the patterns are available at the shop. I would be happy to help you put the wool together for the project.
As many of you know, I've been experimenting and really getting a hang of plant dyeing wool. My husband has said it's like a witch's brew with all the large pots I have going on in the kitchen. (He really doesn't like when I'm cooking the red cabbage to extract the dye!) I've been reading lots of books and, of course, blog posts on what to do. I've had some great surprises, but also some failures! This spring I tried some daffodils. The colors produced were awesome! The dye liquid itself smelled sweet like one of the bloggers I read mentioned. I have some saved in the freezer for a future winter dye. (P.S. This was written over a month ago, but somehow it didn't get published. oops!)
Daffodils
The color was like lemon and smelled like honey.
Final Product
A small stash of my daffodil dyed wool.
The Bee & The Bear’s stand!!
