    Birthday gifts

    May 20, 2013 - By 

    Yesterday we got together with Mr. G’s side of the family to celebrate the Spring birthdays. We went out to eat then visited over cake and ice cream at home.

    Look at this beautiful bowl I got from my in-laws. She knows my love of pottery and is always on the lookout for a new piece for me. This one is from Frog Creek Pottery. I have no affiliation but thought I should tip my hat to them anyway for such a beautiful bowl.

    My BIL and his GF gave me this really cool art yarn from Italy. I’m already planning on knitting an infinity scarf with it. It should be very fun and eclectic.

    Lucky girl…that’s me. 🙂

    It’s happening again

    May 19, 2013 - By 

    My art ADD has come back in full force.  I have many different projects all in progress at the same time and in the same small space.

    I’m reworking a canvas as another edition of my friend Sandy’s poem.

    I finished a couple of crochet dishcloths this week. Neither one is perfect by an stretch of the imagination but I’m fine with that.

    Journal page in progress. I’m trying to remember to leave this free of bulking embellishments as this spiral journal is filling fast and the pages will soon not turn on the tiny spiral if I keep up with the bulk.

    In the past week I sold 3 pieces of terrain. I’m thrilled! It has inspired me to make more. I’ve been priming and trying out different combinations for my recycled pieces.

    As well as playing around with foam and a plastic bottle. I love the challenge of making something out of nothing.  I’m hoping that this will look like a crashed vessel that has weathered over time.

    See what I mean…all over the place! My mind is going this way and that. So many ideas, so little time and space.

    Pattern challenged

    May 2, 2013 - By 

    Ok…it took me three rounds to to notice my mistake.  Do you see it?

    Here’s a clue…

    We all learned in school that hex means 6, correct?!

    And now lets count together…

     Like I’ve said many times…I’m pattern challenged.

    I think watching TV while crocheting isn’t the best idea to begin with but I can’t blame it all on that. Maybe next time I’ll try and easier pattern…and learn to count more accurately.

    I’m not giving up and starting over. I’ll just have a pentagonal dishcloth. There’s nothing wrong with that. If a Pentagon is good enough for the U.S. Military…it’s good enough for me and my dishes.
