An Artful Abundance of Fiber

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
                                                                                                    Henry Ellis

When it comes to design, every new one that makes it to a finished piece is like, I would imagine, raising a child. The designer nurtures it, watches it grow, makes adjustments along the way, and then releases it into the world to see what becomes of it.

Of course, if one is a needle arts designer, it all starts with the fiber. Here's what is currently on my fiber plate (literally and figuratively):

Biscotte & Cie
Dobby
I let go of it last week. 

Cascade 220 Heathers

Nazli Gelin Garden Metallic Cotton Thread

Berroco Lustra

I'll let go of the above three between now and the end of February.

This living is indeed an art.

Check in with Andrea's blog to see everyone else's artful pursuits this Fee-Fi(ber)-F.O. Friday.
