HAPPY BIRTHDAY OZIAHZ!!!

Last year I asked my husband if I could have a Blog and Pro Flickr account as my Birthday gift and he said "SURE!"

Today the Oziahz blog is ONE YEAR OLD and I am THIRTY-SOMETHING.

It has been so much fun all year connecting with friends through my blog and Flickr. I look forward to another great year, and a few more wrinkles. :}

 

 

 

TIE ONE ON
Topic: FUN STUFF

I was so busy at work and with all of the Halloween things that I had to get done I almost didn't get a chance to finish my apron for TIE ONE ON

I wanted the apron to look like the 225.00 Tasha Tudor apron  on the site.

I made Rain model the costume for me so it's a little too big on her.

I'm not sure if I should add a ruffle at the bottom hem, so ignore the pins.

 

Happy Halloween Lyric!

Happy Halloween!!

Thank you Lyric for the sweet card!!

I have to find some pumpkin stencils tonight and start carving.

Somehow I always forget about the seeds in the oven and the family is used to eating them burned.  :}

Baaa Baaa Basket
Topic: PATTERNS

 

This is the COMPLETED BASKET!!!

I am going to try spinning some roving instead of using it for wet felting, but I couldn't help wet felting some sculpey lambs before I turn the wool into yarn. :}

Inspired
Topic: FUN STUFF

Amy  mentioned on her blog that she feels like Hester Prynne, and Rachael just started a Flickr group for one of her favorite female artists Holly Hobbie. 

This got me thinking and doing some soul searching, and I think that Tasha Tudor is the artist that seems to inspire me the most. 

I hope to be just like her someday, with beautiful gardens, cooking with my woodburning kitchen stove, basket making, and Yankee living at its best!! :)

Kloppen
Topic: FUN STUFF

 

Have you ever looked at yourself and wondered if maybe some of the things you call clothes are more like costumes?

I wanted a pair of these Dutch shoes ever since I watched the movie Basquiat and they showed a shot of Jean-Michel Basquiat's painted shoes.

Click on the image to buy yourself a pair!

 

Basket Weaving
Topic: PATTERNS

I started taking basket making lessons last week and so far I have half of my basket tote done. I can't wait to stain it and fill it with yarn and things. The instructor also plans on showing us how to weave small bamboo tea strainers. This is such a fun class.  If you enjoy knitting and sewing I recommend basket making ( basket weaving).
