Toadstool

Toadstool

at least i've sketched out idea 1 for my partner's mug rug.

"Glückspilz" means "lucky dog/devil" in German

glück = luck

pilz = mushroom

dear partner,

do you like a circle-ish/square-ish mug rug? (inspired by the single girl quilt along...)

do you like embroidery? (hand and machine)

do you like toadstools?

do you like red & aqua? (i do, and i couldn't resist!)

do you like appliqué? (raw edge)

do you like dots? (on 'shrooms and fabrics)

too childish? not 'mature' enough?

Well, it's been awhile again, but I'm back to post a new series. After a very difficult year, one with almost no photographic opportunities and a burglary that took ALL my camera equipment, I finally got to make a quick trip up to Page, AZ in May and try out my new Nikon D7100 and 18 - 300mm lens.

This trip is clearly going to be remembered as the beginning of the learning curve with the D7100 - I won't be making THOSE particular mistakes again, especially with focus.

This first series is from a short hike to the Toadstool Rocks in extreme southern Utah. Not as sharp as I would like, but here they are anyway.

(Just noticed that this is my 3,500th Flickr post. Hmmm, that seems like a lot to me.)

My first attempt at needle-felting.

Even little rocks make toadstools when the soft rock below them erodes away.

Toadstools

these little toadstools just appeared one day almost as if they thought the terrariums looked like a nice place to live. they're so wee and cute...i also loved the way the condensation was sitting on the glass...yup, random.

I made this blanket for my daughter as part of the Monthly Make run by Annie over at the Felt Fairy - thefeltfairyuk.blogspot.com

I put it together from a pattern that the very talented Joanie at Ninimakes was kind enough to email me.

Her lovely blog is:

This is a new simplified version of the original toadstool pincushion which I sent to a friend as part of a swap in 2007. You can see the original pincushion here.
