...that I just can't concentrate on any one thing. It is, after all - the perfect day to get stuff accomplished. I had appointments today - which were both cancelled, I have the house to myself and a million things on the back burner that really need some attention. Focus. Focus. Where is my focus??? What a nice view I have. Focus.....After a wonderful conversation on the phone this morning - my buddy Mary, (White Clover Stitches) who can do just about anything with needle, thread, beads, yarn, you name it - sent me a pattern for socks after arising at the conclusion that the pattern I got out of my book titled, "Oh so Easy Knits!' - wasn't, um - oh so easy after all. I do hope to report progress on these socks soon.
I do want to make one last comment on the topic of knitting before I show you my experiments from today - FIVE NEEDLES - 5 NEEDLES??? WHO THE HECK DECIDED THAT SOCKS SHOULD BE KNIT WITH 5 FREAKING NEEDLES??? IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE?
I did start painting, stitching and melting some foundations for my Christmas gift tags, cards, etc. I always enjoy doing the legwork for those kinds of projects. Just getting handling the paints, fancy fabrics and fibers, etc. makes me happy. Just what I needed after such a frustrating morning!These first few are tyvek that I painted with Lumiere and heated up for texture. The purple one came out so cool.
Then I gathered some old stuff, new stuff, colored stuff into groups like my friend Carolyn does - for inspiration
Looking at Carolyn's little collections always inspire me. So I thought, what if I do that myself with my own stuff? I'll let you know how it turns out!!
Laugh as much as you breathe and
love as long as you live.
really want to knit my entire family socks for Christmas this year.
