A Glimpse of My Fabric Stash

 


A random stack of fabric from my stash.

Some of this is destined to be handspun into my signature Ragamuffin yarn, some for doll clothes, some for quilts. Oh, the joys of fiber!

My Sweet Nieces at Play


My Sweet Nieces at Play, originally uploaded by confections.

This photo was taken by my youngest sister, Liesl, around Halloween 1994. She made the fairy costumes for my sweet nieces and took this lovely shot to document the occasion.

I have enjoyed following Rachel Devine/Sesame Ellis' photostream on flickr for some time, and am especially enthusiastic about her new blog called "beyond snapshots". She and Peta Mazey are providing guidance for those of us who aspire to greater heights in our photography. Head on over there and enjoy!
