Week in the Life- Day 2

Been working on my #weekinthelife pictures nightly so I can start each day fresh without the loom of the entire project and what I need to work on.  This is Tuesdays spread. I really want to do more that 4 6x8 pages but I also want to pick the best pictures, moments so editing is crucial here.




This is my first year to do this project and there is much I have learned and much to learn by the end of the week.  I'll check in again let you know how it all shakes out! 

Thanks for joining me on the journey!
XOXO

Wet Felted Spheres

Image
This week I start teaching a weekly class at The Minnetonka Center for the Arts about Wet and Dry Felting and wanted to let you in on a little bit of it too. This step by step tutorial teaches you how to make felted balls that will be a component in a necklace which I will show later on. Start with 1/2 oz. corriedale wool. I get mine at one of two places, The Textile Center shop and The Fibers Studio . You can also pick it up on Etsy . This time I am using this variegated dyed one purchased at The Textile Center . The corriedale at The Fiber Studio is a better quality wool but it only comes in solid colors. Trade off, I suppose. The soap is from Kiss My Face , a pure olive oil soap. Fill a bowl with water and place the soap in it and mush it around. I like to do it this way until the soapy water opaque and slightly yellow then I take the bar of soap out. When wet felting if you fill your bowl with warm or hot water it speeds up the process. I want beginners to use room temp water (so...

Another Idea for Using the Striped Pages in my Cocoa Daisy Notebook!

Image
  I’ve found another fun and functional way to use the always-requested striped pages in my Cocoa Daisy notebooks that I get in my Planner Kit ! I'm calling it my “Currently” page! I wanted to track something that would be meaningful not just at the beginning of the month but also the end! Covering the Days of the week with assorted stickers and dies cuts created this column of things that either reminded me of or inspired my September to be. For the rest of the striped section, I divided it in half for my currently topics first half of the month -'ings' and have a space for the other half at the end of the month. Using the Planner Sticker Kit , I created little boxes on the facing page so I could track either my moods or something that happend during the month which reminded me of that emotion.  I tend to usually use these stickers in my daily pages to mark the emotion of a certain task but in this frame of mind I think its fun to use them in a memory keeping sort of w...
