Technology is my friend. I think.

Christmas in July
I met with a friend who has a needlepoint project for me to paint out on canvas for her as quickly as I can get it wrapped up, and I have another canvas to paint up for a friend so I also picked up some canvas for myself and I want to see how many times I can say canvas in a run-on sentence, so just for good measure, I got some canvas to make PeeWee a needlepoint rug for her doll house and I got her an adorable ladybug canvas made just for kids.Here she is stitching away! She's watched me enough times to actually be pretty proficient. Especially for a little 3 and a half year old. It makes a mother proud. I think we'll have this one framed when she's all finished with it. The stitches are already going in every direction but that's fine with me, she's doing this one all by herself.
Our tree is going to be some fun and handmade from now on. I do still pick up other ornaments but it's looking like the home made variety is going to be taking over before long. Granny is always stitching up ornaments for us as well so we get some great things come the holidays. So far I have these back from the finisher:

So I knit a gauge swatch
A real gauge swatch. I really did! And I cast off. And I washed it and blocked it just like you are supposed to. How about that. Of course no pictures because it's a square of yarn. I like seeing everyone else's but my own, hmmm, no.

More babble?
Yep, more babble.


That store is very well done. Very. They also offer an array of classes I wish I could find here. My long term goal is to have a place where creative business is going on. A spot where you can take classes and also purchase your supplies. And I can stay there all day and make. I'm working towards that. Coming up with lots of ideas for how I'd like it to work. A five year plan thing.

All over the map these days



I know those blue and greens are a strange combination. I did go to Tulane (well Newcomb for those of you who know such things) whose colors are pretty much those right there. I decided that I wanted to make up hats for the orphanages after a lengthy conversation about my trip to Russia a few years ago. We were finding more about Big Brother's trip to Europe and I said I wanted to go to a few of the places he went and I wanted to take him to Russia. A huge tangent later and I was knitting up hats. I had those yarns on hand anyway at the house and since their only real requirement is wool yarn my choices were pretty limited. I have enough to make up a sweater even. Not sure if I am up for that task but we'll see what inspires those needles. They have a mind of their own, you know.
