vacation
I'm in North Carolina tonight. We are on our way to Asheville, we are going to see the Biltmore, we have been there a couple of times but never when the roses are in bloom. DH promised me a shopping trip, too. I have a swap due in a week and a half I'm not done yet. I brought supplies with me so I can hopefully I can get closer to being done when I get home Friday.

swaps
I have discovered the land of swaps. It is so much fun. The first time I swapped I joined two at the same time and sent one to Calif instead of where it was supposed to go. I have to thank Gloria for sending my polymer pieces on to Arlene. She said she would let me know how much I owe her for postage but haven't heard from her. I am going to have to do something nice for her.
I have now joined a skinny book swap, not sure what I have to do yet. Another ATC swap and another polymer swap I just hope I get all the addresses right this time.

mystery knit
Am knitting a mystery lace in yellow right now. Its going well but I had to spend Thursday at the hospital waiting in mom to get a new battery for her pace maker and I had no take-a-long knitting. I need to start a easy knit project.

stamping
I know I've mentioned before that my mom is in a nursing home. She had a bad turn, and she is in the hospital. She's better but she just doesn't eat enough. So far they haven't found a reason for it. She went in last Friday. Saturday I had been looking forward to going to a scrapbooking thing in Columbus, Ohio. I had paid thirty dollars for a class to make a flip-book. Mom told me to go because they weren't going to do anything on a Saturday.
Went to the class and made the flip-book it was another ten dollars for supplies but I had a really good time. I love someone taking me by the hand and showing each step to take. I wish I had another kit so I could take more time to finish it right. I have made books before and I don't like how the edges aren't covered like a book. they are just cut the size of the cover.
Rubber stamps, which is the title of this entry.
I joined a group for stampers, now I have used stamps for years, my favorite is called "baby moon" I have use this stamp for wrapping paper, cards invitations for a long time. I emboss it I have ironed velvet on it to make embossed velvet.
At the expo Saturday I have never seen so stamps in one place ever. I only bought four new ones but if I didn't have to get back to mom I don't know how much I would have spent. I got a stamp by Jim Holtz. This is the first time I noticed designer but a group I'm on kept saying how good his designs were. It is by Stamper Anonymous. I got looking at my stamps today and I noticed the names on the stamps. I found only one more by SA. I do have a lot by Inkadinkado,
I like Hampton Art and background stamps by Stamps Happened. Some other I like are by hero arts, stampendious, rubber stampede, hero arts.
The other three were from Purple Daisy Designs. A poppy, tiny dragon fly and a butterfly.

kool idea
I read about a kool idea the other day. This person bought 100% cotton sweaters at a local charity shop and made wash clothes out of them. I thought what a good idea. so the next time I was looking for wool sweaters for felting I kept my eyes open for 100% cotton.
I found this really beautiful and large sweater in a brown tweed and I grabbed it up. The store was having a buy on get one so it was free. Had it washed up last night and started looking for an end to pull. Instead of winding it I thought I would knit right off the sweater.
Learned a very valueable lesson If it is machine made and the seams are serged there are only one row long pieces of yarn. Oh well I'm 57 and I'm never to old to learn. Wonder what I can do with big pieces of knitted sweater.
