Meet our new little friend Kinley!  Isn’t she just a miracle? She’s here to show you a couple of my recent crochet projects.  Thanks to Jay and Kim for letting me share this, and thanks so much to the talented photographer, Kristin Morales.  You can see more of her work at Memorable Moments.

Lately I’ve had the urge to make vessels.  Here are the results of my first experiment crocheting and then felting woolen bowls.

i haven’t read the entire issue yet, but there appear to be some quite interesting things in here.

in other news, i’ve put down the paint/glue/paper/fabric/etc for now and am crocheting for a change.  i’ll maybe share some of that later.  for now, look at these wonderfully weathered stones i recently photographed.  any idea what this is?

(find out here)

since i don’t have a stash of material, and my trip to the thrift store was a disappointment, i went to fabric stores and came home with free swatches and inexpensive remnants.

it was so nice to make something without getting paint and acrylic medium all over my hands (and clothes) like i usually do with collage.

my time away from the computer has been wonderful.  there’s nothing like fully engaging with real life.

to update:

• the show of my work to benefit Samaritan House  resulted in  six sales, much to my joy.  the gallery art cafe is now closed, but there are plans to bring it back in a better location next year.

•i’m getting involved in this community, but also taking time to think, read, knit, and just BE.

•my son and his girlfriend are engaged!

wishing you all joy in 2010.
