It looks like I am done with craft fairs for the holiday season. I may be doing one in January but that one is still in limbo and I'm not sure the organizers will get it going that soon. I will let you know. But, in the meantime, I now have time to play (which I am really looking forward to)! I have been wanting to work on some wall hanging ideas since I came back from the Felter's Fling back at the beginning of September, and the SDA conference in Arrowmont in Mid-October just made me itch to play with wall hangings all the more! I had great fun at both events and learned lots and lots! Between those two events and a couple weddings I have done a fair amount of traveling this fall. I have literally put thousands of miles on my car. I think my car has gotten more mileage since Mid-August to now than it normally does in a year... lol! Anyway, I have loads of pictures on my iphone and camera to upload but here is just a taste... this picture is from my camera from my trip to Gatlinburg TN and Arrowmont (the camera had the least amount of photos, everything else is on my iphone which needs my computer to be updated in order to properly download/upload properly)... A glimpse of the Smokies! :)

Anyway, I am thinking about changing up my blog design. It has been the same (with the exception of the revolving title picture) since 2008. There are newer more interesting templates available so you might be seeing some changes in the blog design before the new year.Franniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06770866570136144258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188156845923028750.post-24965466677039518472015-11-04T00:38:00.000-06:002015-11-04T00:38:05.884-06:00Next Upcoming Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_KR7l2_0xmXt6xkjhwoFzDtJ_Cv67nK_ngVKmyDJcDm_79qPGI7qqRyd8aDB9uLcE8SzgYraZW_C7Z8QWXvlKnjH-oXlrznoevxZezZgIH1dUIJYOYApX87ABn4R4GYG2oYkImVmXEtA/s1600/FAOF.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_KR7l2_0xmXt6xkjhwoFzDtJ_Cv67nK_ngVKmyDJcDm_79qPGI7qqRyd8aDB9uLcE8SzgYraZW_C7Z8QWXvlKnjH-oXlrznoevxZezZgIH1dUIJYOYApX87ABn4R4GYG2oYkImVmXEtA/s400/FAOF.png" /></a></div>

Spring has finally sprung here in the upper Midwest. As I type I can hear Doves cooing and birds chirping. Another sign of spring is that my cats are spending all there time in the windows rather than near the radiators (even though it can get cool at night still). It is also time to start filling out applications for Fall and Winter Craft fairs... lol! I have been busy working on a embroidered art piece for an exhibition titled the "Exquisite Uterus" although I'm not sure when it is going to run since they lost their venue (they are actively seeking another). I will have to post some picture of my progress. I have also in the last couple days been cleaning out my basement studio since it flooded in the rains a few days ago... ugh! I have several towels still in the backyard drying out so I can shake off the grit and put them in the washing machine. Fun huh? Anyway, I finally got back to work on my piece today since the basement is now all dry. Anyway, I needed a break so I thought I would start dusting off my social media sites (which have been thoroughly neglected. :)Franniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06770866570136144258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188156845923028750.post-74055284016307906142013-12-06T15:14:00.002-06:002013-12-06T15:14:55.993-06:00Out of the Box Holiday Market 2013Hi,
We are going to once again be a part of the pop up store known as "Out of the Box" in Oak Park. This is a holiday Market with a wide and changing array of artisans.

Hi all,
I just wanted to make you all aware of the wonderful show starting tonight at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, "The Fine Art of Fiber". This is a show put on by three guilds: the Illinois Quilter's Inc., the North Suburban NeedleArts Guild, and the Weavers Guild of the North Shore. My mother Camilla Krueger will be there selling her wonderful felted hats, vests, and wraps. Please come out this weekend and check it out and get a jump start on your Christmas shopping...lol.

Hi!
Mom and I are going to be selling at the Ravenswood ArtWalk in Chicago IL again this year. It is being held along the Ravenswood Corridor (Both the East side and West side of Ravenswood and along some off shooting side streets) between Irving Park Rd and Lawrence Avenue (see map <a href="http://ravenswoodartwalk.org/artist-index/">here</a> ). The Dates are Saturday and Sunday September 29th and 30th. We are listed on the map as "Krueger, Camilla & Frances". Come out and see us!Franniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06770866570136144258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188156845923028750.post-45823351122477953582012-07-25T02:29:00.004-05:002012-07-25T02:29:52.464-05:00This and That<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been ignoring my blog lately. I've just been so busy. And, next week I am off to the Midwest Felting Symposium (will be taking pictures to post). I will be taking classes with Pamela MacGregor and Pam de Groot. Needless to say I am really looking forward to it. The only fly in my ointment at the moment is a sore throat. I see the doctor about that on Thursday. I refuse to be sick! Anyway, I felt like my blog needed a change, so I changed the title picture. The thing is, I think I need a bigger change (to the blog that is). I am seriously thinking about changing the template. So, if you come back and the blog is completely redesigned don't be surprised. It probably won't happen for a couple weeks yet since I really need to pack all my supplies and some clothes...lol. So, since I don't like to post without pictures, above (for your inspiration) you will find a photo I took of a decorative wall outside the walled gardens at the Chicago Botanic Gardens back in June. It comes off as one of those illusion illustrations (which is kind of cool), and the texture...I really like the texture. Anyhow, Ciao for now. :)Franniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06770866570136144258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188156845923028750.post-56042725572936636412012-05-21T23:56:00.002-05:002012-05-21T23:57:37.191-05:00What I have been up too lately<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My newest project is my felted Moon Rabbit. In Japan they do not have the man in the moon they have the rabbit who lives on the moon and makes mochi in a pot. See Wikipedias entry <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit">here</a> . Above is my moon rabbit before wetting out. More pictures to come later.Franniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06770866570136144258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188156845923028750.post-40890751284864395192012-04-20T18:48:00.003-05:002012-04-20T19:13:44.233-05:00This n' That<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpmIqAynFsv1xb03n8bSCDGLpHKcrxLC_LPOKrPb627dAxwEiA26jrJQFgx8qNCeQPfpi2UcjLEKj7CvH4WtqxWdqg57Rew4T16MwNnqBtZI5Rvd9MMJKGOzOnYF4OZvgHtzdYyRyed8Es/s1600/IMG_7541.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpmIqAynFsv1xb03n8bSCDGLpHKcrxLC_LPOKrPb627dAxwEiA26jrJQFgx8qNCeQPfpi2UcjLEKj7CvH4WtqxWdqg57Rew4T16MwNnqBtZI5Rvd9MMJKGOzOnYF4OZvgHtzdYyRyed8Es/s400/IMG_7541.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5733637220907985826" /></a><br /> <br />I have started working on a new wall hanging. This one is smaller and I am using C1 wool along with some leftover Finn wool. This is the first time I have tried combining them so it should be an interesting experiment. I will post pictures when I'm done.<br /><br />Also, I have added a new medium to my repertoire. I am taking a class on working with metal jewelery. I have been thinking of ways to combine felt with metal. I have also been thinking about making some scarf rings/clips to sell along with my nuno felt scarves. <br /><br />Lastly I have been taking photos and pondering on the really weird weather the Midwestern States in the U.S. have been experiencing. It is hard for me to believe that there are people who don't think that man is having an effect on the weather.Franniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06770866570136144258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188156845923028750.post-43161966800649958712012-03-04T22:53:00.003-06:002012-03-04T23:20:03.969-06:00Busy, Busy, Busy!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83qlL8N_phWsMeSZ9fr7Mx-6h85IXQYXHYoKHoJZ7P17ji3C-UQvuMEz_x0ls9szyNNJQs_0WvyiHBccuW7dw9Hp5kDtz4bAkex9FRzzI8qwIdLys7MU2gzRp_c1HArSW5hajulNmPCm8/s1600/IMG_5934.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83qlL8N_phWsMeSZ9fr7Mx-6h85IXQYXHYoKHoJZ7P17ji3C-UQvuMEz_x0ls9szyNNJQs_0WvyiHBccuW7dw9Hp5kDtz4bAkex9FRzzI8qwIdLys7MU2gzRp_c1HArSW5hajulNmPCm8/s320/IMG_5934.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716278142050843138" /></a><br /><br />One more month in a half and things will finally settle down. Tax time will be over and the spring craft fair Mom and I will be in will be in the past. Then, hopefully, my order of Finn Wool will be in and I can get back to making my wall hanging rugs! But, for right now it is nose to the grindstone. I will post some pictures of my scarves and details of the fair some time in the next week. In the mean time I hope all of you are getting ready for spring because it appears to be right around the corner. Enjoy the picture above from last spring.Franniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06770866570136144258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188156845923028750.post-24036155336609050262012-01-19T18:12:00.004-06:002012-01-19T18:31:25.317-06:00A New Year!Hi all!<br /> Sorry I haven't posted in an age. I took an intense workshop at the Felter's Fling at the end of the summer with Karoliina Arvilommi and Roderick Welch, and when I got back, it was work, work, work. Then I did a ton of craft fairs between the end of September and the end of December (which I should have advertised here but only managed to advertise on facebook). Basically, I was so busy it was a challenge to keep on track, and the blog got neglected. So, one of my New Years resolutions is to get back to blogging at least on a monthly basis (if not bi-monthly). Below are two pictures of wall hangings that resulted from the above workshop. The first one was done during the workshop and the second was done a couple of weeks after I got home.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdTspUQVR3HPBIJ8mg7j_8V0eXZ1nYQCOmP_vNT5X970jz0N9MnxjSocrbDcTWBcjUzfERilsElr_epqMPqbN-YZhJCyxEPGKS-rqPbHM2GIdafHI_ooSaLNp4OpUPRGUcBG3hwio4BP7/s1600/Frannies+Felts+Wallhanging.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 254px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdTspUQVR3HPBIJ8mg7j_8V0eXZ1nYQCOmP_vNT5X970jz0N9MnxjSocrbDcTWBcjUzfERilsElr_epqMPqbN-YZhJCyxEPGKS-rqPbHM2GIdafHI_ooSaLNp4OpUPRGUcBG3hwio4BP7/s320/Frannies+Felts+Wallhanging.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699503299325375698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcw0R4begRTKIsrvcUGOoY_QRFH_y0yqOoCNfcGvU0z4P2VS87YNQEvT9M6oIe-VGPC26-sQz5LOOHgruGKReZelc28x7Y7Y4T4YngQVYYsYr6VDnLMuYA2V1McWamknsvqdHuO41PxqoD/s1600/IMG_6777.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcw0R4begRTKIsrvcUGOoY_QRFH_y0yqOoCNfcGvU0z4P2VS87YNQEvT9M6oIe-VGPC26-sQz5LOOHgruGKReZelc28x7Y7Y4T4YngQVYYsYr6VDnLMuYA2V1McWamknsvqdHuO41PxqoD/s320/IMG_6777.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699503911634560770" /></a><br />If you have time you should check out the fabulous feltworks of Karoliina's at her website http://www.4felts.com/index1.htm as well as Rod's feltworks at his website http://www.rod.4felts.com/ .Franniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06770866570136144258noreply@blogger.com0
