Saturday Greetings...

calendula, lavender, lemon balm, oregano and yarrow...
a little harvest from the gardens this morning.

It seems so very early for the walnuts to fall,
but I'm so excited to be boiling up this year's first black walnut brew...

...naturally dyed wool fabric and yarns will be back in stock soon:)

I'm happy to have contributed a pattern to the ATHA 2021 Biennial ~ Kansas City Fundraiser Pattern Book...

Hope you have a lovely day, L

I’ve joined #artistsupportpledge

...and will happily support other artists!

Due to the COVID19 pandemic, many artists around the world have found themselves without work, teaching, technical support, gallery work, exhibitions and sales have disappeared. In an attempt to help alleviate some of this stress @matthewburrowsstudio has instigated the #artistsupportpledge The concept is a simple one. You post images of your work to sell for no more than $200 each (not including shipping). Every time you reach $1000 of sales you pledge to buy another artist’s work for $200.

Uniquely One of a Kind...my Mug Mats are hooked with 100% new wool, which I over-dyed with my original recipes. I professionally finish my mats by binding them with my durable, hand-dyed rug yarn or wool strips, sewing on cotton twill tape and a cotton label...signed and dated.

Matched with a hand stitched wool appliqué tea cozy to cover your mug while brewing tea...it will keep your cup HOT! Truly one of a kind...I hand cut wool and stitch these cozies to compliment my hooked mug mats.

Measuring 6" to 7” in diameter these hooked mats are perfect for under a mug of your favorite beverage! Cozies measure 8" w x 6" h and expand to fit a variety or mugs, cups and small teapots. $65.00 set + $5.00 shipping

If you are interested in purchasing any of my work...I'll be posting it here, in the Etsy shop, on Facebook and Instagram.
If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me

Happy New Year...

Frankly, I'm glad to see 2019 in the rear-view mirror...
it was a tough year on many levels for me and so many others.

Here's to 2020...a new year...a new decade
and new opportunities!
