She said in her book that she would love a dragon. Since I had a good design in mind I indulged and did one for her. I used some gold stretch-lame that Gerry sent me for the dragon's body. Even got to use the goldwork technique of putting the lame over felt padding. This gave the little fellow a lovely 3D effect. Also found a lovely hand-blown glass bead for the center of the gold flower he is crouching on. I am very pleased with how he turned out.<br />

My! It's been a while since I blogged. TIme to start again. Finally, gotten some time and pictures. <br />
<br />
Have been trying to get my Belgium Flag block for the ICQ flag quilt done. I could fine any motifs of Belgium things to put on the block, so I've had to make them. That is taking longer than I expected. Still things are turning out well.<br />
<br />
Here's pictures of what I've done so far. <br />
<br />

<br />
It took a while to figure out how I wanted to piece together. I decided to piece in such a way that kept the flag design intact but still was a crazy quilt block. This designed worked the best for me.<br />
<br />
Adding the lace was another problem since the only samples I found were rather wide. Fortunately this was not a tiny block.<br />
<br />

This is what I've gotten to so far. The Belgium Draft horse Is the first embroidery I've done. It was embroidered on a piece of muslin using pearl cotton. Then it was cut out and appliqued on - another new experience. Managed to stuff some wool felt scraps behind the applique so he really looks 3D.<br />
<br />
The poppies are wool felt and red poppy buttons. They turned out well. They are the Belgium national flower.<br />
<br />
The upper right corner has a Gilles feathered hat that is typical of the Carnival de Binche<strong> </strong>in Wallonia. I thought they looked cool. I used a very fluffy yarn to get the tall feathered look.<br />
<br />
Also managed to get the heraldic lion of Belgium on the block. He turned out much better than I expected.<br />

<br />
The "<a href="http://vimeo.com/dustinfarrell/landscapes2">Astonishing Landscapes Vol 2</a>" time-lapse video is the second installment by Dustin Farrell and <a href="http://www.crewwestinc.com/" target="_hplink">Crew West</a> in what Farrell says on his <a href="http://vimeo.com/dustinfarrell" target="_hplink">vimeo page</a> will "probably" be three.The video shows off Arizona's and Utah's iconic landscapes and even has a shot of the Flagstaff Observatory in action. Follow Dustin on Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/dustin_farrell" target="_blank">@dustin_farrell</a> and bug him for a third video. <br />
<br />
Take a beauty break and watch this and relax!<br />

It's a crazy quilt square made for the Hearts and Hands for Sendai Crazy Quilts being made by the Crazy Quilt International online group (<b><a href="http://tinyurl.com/45omqde">http://tinyurl.com/45omqde</a>)</b>.<br />
<br />
I promised Leslie I'd post some pictures for her. The square is not fully done. Have gotten a good start. Added the crane as for a wish of recovery for the region. I think it is turning out well so far. Am still contemplating what else to do.<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

Over the years I've managed to get a few pictures.<br />
<br />
One Morning I was really surprised by a group of coyote pups gamboling all around my front yard. (This is what happens when I forget to cut the grass.) Their guardian (mother?) was lying just under the hedge watching the group. For some reason she thought my front yard was a good playpen. And play they did!<br />

Caught photos of one young buck a short while back just leisurely munching grass in my front yard. Was able to get some good photo's out my dining room window. This fellow had no fear.<br />

This song always hits me hard. The feeling of wanting to run away; to get away from the pain - this song always reminds me of this. The singer jokes a little about this song but there is an inherent pain there that the jokes don't hide. I wonder who she was?<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

Mom had decided she wanted to take pictures of Washington and Oregon lighthouses. It sounded like a cool road-trip so I joined her.<br />
<br />
Truly, how could one go wrong taking pictures of these beacons of maritime hope. They stand tall and point the way home for those who may be lost at see. Too many of them are becoming automatic or being decommissioned. It is a shame things are trending this way. Somehow, relying on automated machines seems the height of folly. Technology is fine when it works but it takes so little to wipe it out and then what are you left with. Look at what happened in Japan earlier this year . It wasn't the huge earthquake but the tsunami that crippled the area. Sometimes old ways of doing things by hand are a good thing.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the lighthouse and coastal pictures from that trip. Enjoy.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cape Meares Lighthouse Oregon from walkway. <span style="font-weight: normal;">Cape Meares lighthouse sits at the north end of the beautiful 20-mile Three Capes Scenic Loop along the Oregon coast. Construction of the lighthouse began in 1888. The light was lit for the first time on January 1, 1890. Though the squatty lighthouse was only 38 feet tall, located on a 217-foot cliff, it could be seen for 21 miles. The lightstation consisted of the tower and two oil houses. In 1895 a workroom abutting the tower was added.</span><br />

At any given time I am in the midst of a passionate affair with a particular craft. One that caught me last summer was Bottlecap Pincushions. These are little felt covered, and stuffed plastic bottle caps that become little cute pincushions.<br />

It's small - about 1.5" in diameter and a little over 1" high.. It was fun, quick and really allows me to use all those embroidery threads I was going to do something with on of these days. This was just the start of many that have come to be since last August. With them my love of color has come alive again. Have also found that embroidery and I do get along very well. These have been goo practice for crazy quilting - it's practice that creates cute little "jewels". It's lot of fun. Here are some more of my little felted, embroidered "gems".<br />
