Creative day in the rain...

It has been raining cats and dogs all day here in FL. (Why do people say that??)  The trees are happy and waving their branches, some of them fuzzy green.  The azaleas are Finally blooming.  They are about 6 weeks late blooming this year, the ones that survived continued Mr. Hard Frost.  So pretty in pink!


I just finished a charm bracelet that has more of my torch-fired enamel beads.  I'm low on supply, but "you take what you have" as Kajsa Varg used to say (famous Swedish cook way back when.) I added some sea inspired items, some pale beads, and wings-charms!  So the piece is titled Wngs.  We could all use a pair of those... No security check at the airport.

Also, I started a pair of wool socks before Christmas that I wanted to felt.  I have never felted socks or mittens, but this time, I Would Do It, so I did.  I had knitted them bigger than usual since the felting makes them shrink quite a bit.  Funny part is that the heel didn't shrink as much though I used the same brand yarn.  So they ended up with quite a large heel and somewhat tight over the arch.  Pretty, however, if I may say so myself.  I used two strands of yarn the whole time, and they are WARM.  I might put them up on etsy even though the winter is just about over.
