    Sweet Season

    April 6, 2013 - By 

    20130406_1706After our snow yesterday…yes you read that correctly…snow on April 5th, I guess I wanted to remind myself that a new season is actually upon us.

    It is Spring according to the calendar and before we know it, the weather will be hot and humid.

    When I started this journal page I had no idea where it was going. 20130406_1705

    I spread my super thin, lame gesso over the pages in my Watkins cookbook journal then kept adding layers of paint and stamping.

    Next I wanted to try out some molding paste applied through a stencil…a technique I’ve seen several times on YouTube videos. I love the texture it adds. I’ll definitely be trying that one again!20130406_1708

    I used water and walnut ink to age this library card which is placed on top of a bit of a forest scene magazine page. Love it when things like that work out.

    Still looking for more texture I glued down a bit of flower trim.

    I am incredibly happy with 20130406_1704the way this one turned out.

    And look..the sun is even shiny bright today promising that the Season is actually changing.

    Scarf completed

    scarf

     

    just in time for the weather to warm up.

    Of course.

    I’ve knit well over 50 of the ruffle scarves but this is my first standard knitting project that I have completed!!

    I stitched the ends together to make an infinity scarf. It wraps really well around my neck for that super warm and cozy feeling that we need for our Minnesota winters.

    I started a new scarf yesterday but am thinking I’m going to rip it apart and start again. I’m not liking the 2 yarn combo I’m using.

    Ok, that was a bad pun.  But I just had to be done.

    I hadn’t noticed my little owl doing a photo bomb until I pulled the photo off the camera.

    It made me smile.

    Hope he made you smile as well.

    Happy Tuesday!
