Apple Season

Here in Central New York, the apples are ready for picking. Apple cider, apple cobbler, apple pie and apple sauce is everywhere.

Here are just a few fun finds from the etsyhookers team that celebrate apple season~~~

This fun apple cozy from UnravelMe is great for bringing apples on the go:


I love this apple coaster set from MonikaDesigns. I haven't had a good yellow apple in a long time... Mmmmm



And this cute little apple pouch from samscrochet is soft and fun!



And don't forget ~~ An apple a day keeps the doctor away......

Enjoy!

Sunday Morning

If you have been following my blog you know that Daryl and I have started an eat right and walking program two weeks ago. I'm happy to say that this morning I weighed in and have lost 10 lbs. My goal - loose 50 lbs by October. Why October you ask? Well, that is the month I turn 50 years old and I seem to have convinced myself that it's now or never ~ as if the clock were running out of time so to speak.


I have also been working on creating my own web site, which is ready for viewing. I hope you will stop by and check out my calander of events. If you nearby, please stop at my booth and say hello~ woolietreasures.com


That aside, I have some brand new goodies for you this week.

This lovely felted wool bowl is purple and lavender with yellow flowers and green rambling leaves. Just too sweet ~~


I love this red berry bowl on a grey background:


This bowl is named Hot Stuff - made with gorgeous red, orange and yellow ~~


This cute little vase cozy makes a perfect house warming gift. If you need one in a different color - just contact me. And yes - the vase is included with the purchase!



For more great felted wool and hand knit work, please visit my etsy shop or artfire studio!

New Knit Scarf ~~ Cables with a Twist

Yes, I know... Cables ARE a twist!

I just finished making an incredibly light and fluffy scarf in which I made cables along each edge and I am so pleased with the result. These added cables create a scalloped edge and provide stability to the scarf itself. What a beautiful way to keep it from stretching or loosing shape. This technique is new to me and I am sure that I will be using it more often in the future.


Photographed with my grandmother's antique crocheted table cloth in the background, I think it is rather stunning!


This scarf is available for purchase in my etsy shop and would make a great gift for women and teens.
