November 2: When I’m making needle felted Christmas tree ornaments, if they turn out nicely like this fellow I want to keep them. But he’s going off to the FCG for the holiday sale. Sigh.
November 1: Finally finished projects for the Florida Craftsman Gallery holiday show and got them turned in. This feels great because now I can turn my attention to some ideas that have been rolling around for a couple months, including some sculptured felt and felt landscapes. I just need to find my exacto knife. It’s around here somewhere…here are two large vessels- “Northern Lights” and “What Lies Beneath” that went to the gallery along with several nuno felted scarves.

A Mark On My Wall 
Wow Vicki, I had no idea you made such beautiful pieces of art! Have you always felted? Is that the right word for it? Mom loves to paint and do other arts and crafts, so I’m suprised she never mentioned it. Maybe she hasn’t seen these beauties– I’ll send her here =-) I especially love your stones, and the orange container at top that looks like a pumpkin. Long live fall!!
Do you still have “Earth Pod” available? It would look great with some mountain pottery pieces that I have and I love the stones – I can see where this FB, family friendship can cost me more than a few dollars. Everything is beautiful!!
Methinks that I would like to incorporate some of this texture into a quilt!!
I loved reading through your blog.
Even though I don’t know your special family – who came to visit – certainly feel saddened that they are faced with this disease. What a rough road they face – but am happy that they have an active support from many people.
About the baby eagle – the end didn’t come through. It was being fed by parents but were they able to carry it to the next?
thank you, Stella Vaughan
