Sometimes your journey takes you to places where things get turned upside down. This is what happened last evening when I was photographing some of the slow stiched fabric bowls on the porch.

Oh my goodness, I just love this post!! Love the bowls, love the book, and as for your shoes!!!!!!!!! Hope you are enjoying some warm dry weather where you are! XX
Once again thank you for being such a heart-touching inspiration! I can't stop staring at your little yellow mushroom bowl at the end of the post and daydreaming that it might end up in your Etsy shop and the luck required to get it :). Love & Light -
I wouldn't have put it better than Pat (she usually say things so much better than me !)
I'm going to dream of slow stitched bowl mushrooms all day now. (if not all week)

I adore your made mushrooms! (= And that book is gorgeous. Just had to add Ysolda's knit mushrooms to my ravelry queue. (since I knit, but don't sew.) (=
Oh so clever! How fun that your creations are developing and changing. You should make some of your fabric bowls into mushrooms for the show. They look great!
Wow, the illustrations in that book are *amazing*! I can recognize mushrooms from the illustrations better than I think I could from a photograph!
I have a bunch of mushroom photos I took at the lake when I was up there this summer... I keep meaning to group them into "I think these are the same type" and post them, but haven't gotten around to it yet. You and another blogger inspired me to go on a "what kind of mushrooms are there around here" walk. :)
Curious, Margie, are your mocs Athabascan, Inuit, or from Alaska? I had the pleasure of working in Baker Lake on a slipper project & the women there make wonderful embroidered/appliqued similiar looking slippers.
I've been trying to find this book forever...
the illustrations are wonderful...all those amazing colors..
I saw it in someone's librart in maine and have been searching ever since.
Where did you get it?

Brilliant! You know you're on the right track creatively when your forms are so organic they can disguise themselves as mushrooms.

I envision a land of crocheted stones and fringed bowl mushrooms. Oh wait, it's here on Margie's porch. Utter happiness!

We've enjoyed seeing amazing mushrooms during our camping trip. Your photos are beautiful. Fun post!
We are watching the leaves as we travel through this season.
