THINGS WITH LINES

I collected a variety of small scallop shells with holes at the tip so that I can embellish a weaving with them!  The bottom two shells were just because I recently talked about them with my daughter!

And I have a finished pair of shorty socks.  

These are just the reverse colors of the pair I made before.  

The photo looks like aqua and black but it is brown stripes.  I am expecting some more sock yarn

 in the mail soon to cast on a new pair! 

 In the meantime, I need to get in front of that quilting frame!

 

Weaving Shells

I just pulled through a loop from the weft shot and wrapped it around the shell....random placement and lots of creative satisfaction.



After a good soak and laying it out on the pool deck to dry, I have a beautiful wallhanging to remember all the great times I have had visiting friends at Cocoa Beach!

( I am behind in my posting because Blogger is misbehaving and we are not getting along right now!)

Beach

We had quite a surprise when we went to our beach (Matanzas River outlet) the ramp to drive onto the beach was closed! We drove north to the next ramp and then drove back to our favorite spot down the beach-it was pretty empty so we only had to dodge a few beach walkers! This is the scene when we arrived-30' of dune and beach gone........even the last of the boardwalk was gone. It is an awesome reminder of the power of our God as His hand wrought this creation a few weeks ago with a Nor'easterner that sat off the shore for a week! I want to know if the ocean ever gives back the sand-it looks like it is sitting about 50' out in the water in the form of a sandbar right now.

We were able to reap a treasure in conch shells.......this is the most we ever found in one day. We do love to walk the shore and we were alone most of this visit-a nice bonus! The water is at 70 degrees right now and the air temp was about 78-we enjoyed a picnic lunch and each others company.............................
