I will be at the Fundraiser selling my Fiber Arts on April 30th and May 1st at Treasures Antiques in Amherst NH. 106 Ponemah Rd. This is a group that helps unwanted cats and kittens in so many ways, medical to finding a 'furever' home. They do have a FB page- look them up!
I will be in the Cabin Fever Fair on March 19th, 9-2 at the Deerfield Town Hall, Deerfield NH. The table fees and the food sale benefits the Philbrick James Library. There will be a raffle from donated items from the vendors and is wheel chair friendly!
As with every year, I make a donation to the NH SPCA in Stratham NH, $1.00 for every needle felted cat toy I sell. It was $83.00--- so much better than last year! I make the cat toys out of wool that I get from a local farm in Epping NH. I get the cat nip herb from a local tea and herb shop in Nottingham NH. I think these balls are wonderful because I believe everyone wins, the tea shop, the farm, the owner of the cat, and of course, the cat.
I have been thinking that this new year, I might change where I donate the sales. Don't get me wrong- I love the Stratham SPCA- I have gotten my Rosie and Elizabeth from there. There are some other programs out there that I believe are important also. There are programs that I have dealt with the last couple of years that have helped with low cost spaying and TNR (trap neuter release). I have 4 cats now that were feral/strays in their earlier life and they have turned into such wonderful pets, everyday, they amaze me with the amount of love they give back to me. I want to give back to these smaller organizations also. I will still give a donation to the NH SPCA.

I have been dyeing more wool fabric that I got from a lady who wanted to give it a good home. I have been having a lot of fun with it making craft items with it! Thanks Dawn!
Last year, I got real lucky at at yard sale and got a whole lot of wool yarn and I have been busy! I have been knitting, felting and dyeing with it. I have made many Farmer Market Bags and they are all different colors and patterns. I also made felted hats with the yarn and like with the bags, there are many different colors. I use low impact dye and enjoy blending the colors and getting different hues.
As being an Fiber Artist, I like to expand my horizons and I have been trying something new with the dyeing. I have dyeing wool fabric and making pillows with the finished piece. I really like the look, and I have to use those wool coats that I got at the thrift stores and yard sales. I have also been making table runners and pictures with the one of the best wool fabric on the market, all with hand stitching.
