**This post comes with a warning: If you continue reading/viewing, you may wind up with a huge, ridiculous grin on your face such as I have in the above pic! Why oh why did I not take a before photo of these hanks of wool?? Perhaps because I was eager to see them transformed from … Continue reading Kool Aid to Dye for!

You must check out this brand new blog by a young gal who has a beautiful outlook on life and is so very creative! Click here to … Continue reading Knitterly Things
Twenty Six Years
It's  staggering...how one gets to certain milestones. Perhaps it's like hiking a mountain, and you get to the top, or to an overlook, and you look down, scratching your head as to how you made it that far! Perhaps it's like knitting a sweater and when it's finished, you marvel at how it's finished, knowing … Continue reading Twenty Six Years
Draw (and Knit) in Public
At the beginning of May, I sat drawing with other artist friends at the Ciener Botanical Gardens here in downtown Kernersville. This is our favorite spot in the warmer months for our Friday morning drawing sessions. In the winter we move indoors to the wonderful Eclection shop downtown. Below is one of the last drawings I … Continue reading Draw (and Knit) in Public
Le Couleur Des Vignes
It is a fact I don't often bring up with folks, but I'll whisper it here to you dear reader: I see yarn and paint colors when I look at nature. Case in point: On a recent, perfect weather Saturday, my husband and I visited a local vineyard. I stepped out of the car into … Continue reading Le Couleur Des Vignes

Be sure to call Angie at Southwinds (993-0818) or drop by the Gallery to see them! Each of them measures 9"x12". The perfect size for gift giving. Perhaps you have someone you'd like to give a … Continue reading Tulip Pair!
Books to Inspire!
Every now and then I post about a book I'm reading that inspires me. Last year, around this time, it was Mark Hearld's artwork and book. But it seems lately I've had a passel of books that I just love and I'd like to share them with you, in case you might be interested in … Continue reading Books to Inspire!
A Harvest of Art
Every year, during our annual Art Show at the school where I teach, parents and others say to me, "You did a wonderful job!" To which I always reply, "Our students are truly amazing artists. They have made beautiful pieces of art this year!" I'm not trying to deflect a compliment where a compliment is … Continue reading A Harvest of Art
