Morning Lines

In case it was difficult to follow the written lines along with the drawn ones, here's the poem. All lines, written and drawn, were made over the last three mornings. Morning Lines   There’s something about morning All the world seems right. The day ahead teems with possibilities As my creative heart takes flight.   … Continue reading Morning Lines

A Bunting We Will Go

  A bunting we will go...A bunting we will go...High ho the derry-oh...a bunting we will go! Tee Hee! This little project was so much fun to work on the last few days.

If Knitting Had Feelings…

I do wonder about this sometimes. I fall in love with a simple ball of yarn. And the dreaming begins. I'm sure it loves this...me dreaming about all the possibilities it might become. Then I choose, and off we go...clicking away happily with nary a thought but the yarn and stitches in front of me. … Continue reading If Knitting Had Feelings…

Knitterly Notes

I loved making this little painting of my hands knitting a scarf. Mind you, this lace scarf was begun several years ago...but … Continue reading Knitterly Notes

Dare

I've been using the photos I took from a recent trip to the Ciener Botanical Gardens, to create some little drawings/paintings. The crazy thing about tulips is the vast variety of them! Round and bowl-like, spiky and sharp, lots o' petals, few petals, etc. This one caught my eye with it's pointed petals and lovely … Continue reading Dare
