WOYWW 205!!

Hello all!  It's another WOYWW (What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday).   WOYWW is the brainchild of Julia at Stamping Ground.  It's an amazing gathering of creative people from all over the world.  Who knows, you may want to join in the fun! 

I've been a bit MIA -- trying to figure out some things.  Not sure exactly which direction to go  -- not only in life but with my crafting.  

I've been knitting - my favorite evening past time.  On my needles is a purse using 100% wool, along with some ribbon yarn.  It'll be interesting to see how it looks once it's felted.   For those of you that don't know, felting is the process of washing the finished knitted item in hot water, throwing it in the dryer, causing the yarn to shrink.  It becomes almost like a fabric. 

Also on my desk is happy mail from Nikki.  You can visit her at Graphix and Designs.  I love my adorable little card and the ATC.  The envelope was full of goodies!  Thank you Nikki!!

I will try to visit everyone that ends in the same number as me and those that visit me and leave a comment (please leave your number).  It probably won't be until Saturday that I'm able to get around.  

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, have fun!

Peace,
Kay

More of Tierra Wools and a Possible Star Sighting.....

Hi all.  I thought I'd share some more photos from the Tierra Wools Festival.  It was a day of fun; full of looking at yarn, feeling different textures, and maybe even a star sighting.

I love old buildings.

A hippie outhouse - no longer used but oh so dang cute!

Do you know who Josh Brolin is?  Could this be him?  I felt like a stalker, waiting for the perfect photo op......

Only to learn that he's an attorney in Chama, New Mexico.  Below is the real Josh Brolin.  Now, can you see why I was fooled?

Some of his more recent films include "Gangster Squad," "Men in Black 3," "No Country for Old Men" and "True Grit."  The last two movies had parts of them filmed in New Mexico.  I've also since learned that his father, James Brolin is known to hang out around Santa Fe.  Holy moly, imagine my heart skipping a beat!

Peace,

Kay

Tierra Wools Festival

In northern New Mexico is a village call Los Ojos.   There's a weaving shop there called Tierra Wools.  It's been there for decades and continues the local tradition of shearing the sheep, natural yarn dying and weaving.   Their website is currently under construction - HERE.  Saturday was their Annual Festival.  I met some of my friends who have a little casita in the village for a day full of fun.

Me and Alyce

Here's some photos from the day.

Talk about old school - no electric shears used here!

The young woman singing grew up among the looms at Tierra Wools.  She now lives in San Francisco and came home for the celebration.  She has a beautiful voice.

I bought some natural dyed yarn.  She's putting it on a spool for me.

One of the many weavings for sale.

Thanks Alyce and Keith for a great day!

I have some more great photos to share about this day so will be doing some posts in the near future.

Peace,
Kay

WOYWW 203

It's another WOYWW (What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday).   WOYWW is the baby of Julia at Stamping Ground.  It's an amazing gathering of creative people from all over the world.  Who knows, you may want to join in the fun! 

I had a bit of difficulty with my computer over the weekend but I think I finally made it around to everyone.  If I missed you I'm sorry.  Belinda B. -- for some reason I couldn't get onto your blog; it kept bringing up Julia's post for some reason.  

Here's whats on my desk --  some of my photos that I've been making into cards.  Unfortunately I couldn't find my thumb drive to find some that I wanted to print.  If that thumb drive doesn't show up I'm going to be in a world of hurt as I've deleted them from my computer.

The markers and stamps haven't moved.  There's a new stack of papers that I love - American Crafts Color Crush.  My list of desks visited last week.  Oh, there's that pair of glasses!

As always, I will do my best to visit those that visit me (please leave your number) and those that end in the same number as me.  Like I said earlier, I had trouble with my computer over the weekend but I think I got around to everyone - if I missed you I'm sorry.

Peace,
Kay
