Fiber Nook!

Oh My! oh My! The ArtWorks Gallery, of which I am a member, has approved to allow me to open a specialty corner. I am going to call it the Magic Fibers Nook or something like that. This was just something that was prompted by the closing of Danner's. I am also going to teach classes. Starting in July with a Coptic artist journal, beginner's scarf, a sampler of stitches in Sept., and needle felting in October Now it's time to stop, think and organize my ideas. What have I gotten myself into? Another Adventure...wherever it may lead.

Baby Hats and Mural Design

I am officially done at school. My classroom is packed and waiting for the construction workers to come in and do what they need to do. I was in on Monday and finished putting things away, turned off the lights, locked the door and decided not to worry or come back till August. It is not worth stressing over since I have no control over when they will be done.

So, it's time to rest and knit...

There seems to be an invasion of baby hats. I can't seem to stop making them.
I started with the regular beanie and have moved on to stripes.

Now they are growing into forms from nature...

It can is therapeutic to just knit stockinette forms but now...
inspiration and complicated designs.

But before I continue knitting I really need to go to my daughter's new house and paint two murals for my grandsons. I have already painted the walls, one room is green and one is blue, Off course we had to complicate things by asking them what color and what design they wanted. Her oldest(6 years old) wanted a bright blue room and he wants a forest on his mural wall. Interesting because when he was born I painted a dresser in an underwater scene. I guess that could be a pond in his forest. Her youngest son(3 years old) picked a bright green paint and he wants dinasours on his wall. I am just thankful he didn't pick star wars caracters, he loves them. So dinasours it is. The dresser I painted for him when he was born has an Alaskan animal scene. Polar bears, seals penguins etc... and how this all going to work I don't know. I am just going over to do the drawing this morning and let inspiration take over.

My Goal for Today.

It's cold and foggy. The weatherman says it's going to be cloudy all day. A great day to stay inside, knit and write up a couple of patterns. My goal for the day is to get my completed patterns back on Etsy and to write up two patterns that are completed and in my sketchbook.
I will post again at the end of the day. We shall see how much I get done.
