Often times when I am working on a project, I’ll stand back and notice that I am wearing something similar to what I am making. I’m either matching the color palette, texture or pattern…does that ever happen to you? I seem to remember Susan doing this once.
Here’s a beautiful print on organic cotton from Harmony Art. I’m using it for a project for book two and I just noticed how lovely it looks with my adorable new shoes! I know, I shouldn’t step on the fabric, but the shoes haven’t even been outside yet. (Zappos, how do I love thee? Let me count the free shipping both ways…) Besides, since the fabric is organic, I am leaving a smaller footprint. HA! Get it? Organic fabric, smaller footprint? Oh, I kill me. See this is what happens when you work at home alone all day. You talk to yourself and think up corny jokes to sneak into your blog posts…*sigh*.
Ok, let’s move forward…Ready for another sneaky peek of a project from Warm Fuzzies? Just two months to go until it’s debut! That little turtle up there is needle felted onto something baby sweet…
And what’s this? Looks fiber rich, doesn’t it? I better stop now and put an end to this line of humor…if you could call it that.
We were just having this discussion at knitting group last week where one of the women is always very well co-ordinated colour wise and last week her knitting also co-ordinated – we asked her if she did it on purpose? She smiled and said – “of course”.
Like the look of the breakfast plate!!
i totally got your joke even before you explained — it was good! Definately very cool shoes, and material. Thanks for your inspiring blog!
Your giving away peeks of my favorite project from the book!!! It’s so exciting. You know I am going to have to get some of those shoes now, too cute. So you saw my felty acorns thanks to you. My daughter and I wrapped them in little packages to give to teachers today. Thanks for sharing.
So are you going to tell us the name or the brand of your darling shoes? Zappos has thousands of different pair – I’ll never find them without a clue! LOL
Ok Gayle, here’s a link to the SHOES (called J-41 Sara Sports)…I wonder if Zappos has an affiliate program? (By the way, be sure to read the comments from buyers as they seem to be a tricky fit)

Your stuff is so cute!!! Even your shoes are cute!
I match my artwork all the time. Red and orange…polka-dots and stripes!
I just discovered your blog via bejeweled’s lovely blog!! Oh, I am going to have to learn how to do felting! Your work is delicious and brilliant! I am adding you to my list so I can come back for more treats!
LOL about thinking up quirky things to post. I do the same thing and giggle when I come up with some zany title, etc.
Take care! Love your shoes!!!!

Awesome shoes. I find the same thing about my attire and that of my 16-month-old daughter. We both tend to be wearing the same color scheme, or denim skirts, etc., on the same day. Love the sneak peeks, and am VERY excited to receive my pre-ordered copy!
That totally happens to me where I’ll have an armload of stuff at the store and it will all “go together” or I’ll just notice similarity all day – glad I am not just creepy:) I can’t wait to see the finished book!
oh man, felted bacon and eggs!!! no calories or fat in that!
Love the image of your shoes against the fabric, lol on the footprint. The fiber rich meal is adorable!
Jane of Yarnstorm does this frequently, and knitting Iris does sometimes find startling parallels between her knitting and her surroundings đ Take a look here: http://knittingiris.typepad.com/knitting_iris/2007/09/post-1.html
Yes it happens to me sometimes. The fabric is really nice but what I really want to say is I WANT those shoes!!!!
I LOVE THE GRAPEFRUIT!!!! Oooh I’ve got such a grapefruit fetish lately….
Very cute shoes…I found your blog from Susan’s via Purl Bee, golly talk about 6 degrees of separation. As a fellow Marylander, I love G Street Fabrics. Love your work!!
That happens to me all the time! I made a yarn order a few weeks ago. Before I placed the order I asked my mom for her opinion about my color choices and she noticed I had ordered all the colors I was wearing.
BTW, I really love those shoes!
Oh, I can not, CanNot, CANNOT wait to get your book!!!! Wish I could fling myself into the future!!!
Loving the shoes!
I find myself dressing to match the quilt I am working on that day. I thought I was maybe the only one that did this. I also notice that if I pick out orange to wear that day, there is a good chance that at least one of my 3 kids will be wearing orange that day as well.
I have that same fabric! I love Harmony’s fabrics–the most fashoinable organic prints out there!!
What is this crazy monkey business? Book two!!?? Congratulations! That’s so exciting!
I can’t wait to get book ONE! I got a sneaky peek of my own back in May at the photoshoot! đ
Yay! ANOTHER reason to like you besides your wonderful talent! You are a ZAPPOS-ite…uh…Zappos-ian?? Whatever…love your new shoes. I haven’t bought shoes anywhere else in over 2 years. The turtle is adorable

I too love your shoes and really, REALLY can’t wait for your book to come out! Thanks for the sneak peek!
Wow. Love your blog. I’m a first time visitor. Your book is on my wish list. Very nice shoes, by the way.
Yes – I realized the other day that I was spinning, wearing and carrying that same green! I think I need to branch out a bit….
