Project with wool

I 'm going to try and post what I'm working on been doing funky steampunk.

Now I'm working with wool and a little silk flowers.

I hope some will let me know what you think.

I really like working with wool.I have done a lot of penny rugs

I have not had any sales on Etsy so will try for a couple more months then try something else

My niece is going to travel to show around the US in a camper and try to sell her crafts.I can maybe go with her. 

If you know of a show let me know for her.

 I have a plan for one more with no wool, a spring thing.

A wool hand bag,the wool is from scrapes a designer of coats the wool is two sided . Wonderful wool.
lining is a Asian feel . Nice for when you only need a little bag.

50 Years

I'm having a Gold Saturday

May 2

I have been married 

50 years

Things have changed so much in these years not all good but a lot  are.

 I was turned 18 May 1st , May 2nd in 1964, I was married .

Some days it seems like I have always been married

My husband was with the military for 24 years It was a lot different then today.When he retied from that . He stared working at a bank, I was a stay at home mom most of the time  With moving I did try but it just did not work out. I had a great job with Avon in management ,but we had to move so that ended too. When he got out got of the Air Force.  I stared teaching painting, and seasonal jobs.

When he retired from that, so did I. I still do craft but at my time.

 They say 1 out of 5 marriages make it to 50 years. So we have done good, there have been days I wonder how we have done it.

We have a son and a daughter.They each have two girls.The best things from these 50 years.

This is how 50 years have gone by

For celebration we are going to go spend a couple months in Spain We where there a couple years ago and like it best places we have been.
