I Am Still Alive and Back to Work....

 Sorry I have been away for so long.I have been suffering with something that I don't know how to describe.The last two months I have not been able to do anything but set on my butt and flip through the TV channels.I could not hook,I could not felt and at times I did not feel like moving.At first I thought it was the birthday that was coming up, the big "50". Well, it came and went and that was not it.Nope! I am OK with turning 50. Two weeks later I was talking to my daughter and I realized what my problem was, I need to be outside more. When I am in Springfield I have to go down three sets of stairs and out a locked door and then I am on a parking lot.I am a country girl and I need fresh air and sunshine.So I am over this feeling down,I am moving on.

 Now to what I have been doing.Two weeks ago I went to Bishop Hill, Il. for their "Clay and Fiber Show." Here are some pictures from the show.It was a very fun two days.The pictures above are of a lady (sorry I can't remember her name) doing bobbin lace.

 There were lots of potters.

 And some beautiful pottery.

 There was some wood turning going on.

 There was some spinning going on but I did not get a picture of the spinners, but this wheel was in the shop and I think it is beautiful.

 There was broom making too.

 Here is Frank taking a brake from broom making.

 This is a wood burning oven that they were backing bread and pizza in.It was yum.

 This weekend Adam and i went to a ice cream social at the Marbold Farmstead.It was a  beautiful day to be outside.

 I demoed needle felting there.

And Adam just sat there and looked cute.

Live Deeply,
