Welcome to my New Home!
Change has been afoot! Lots of mulling, weighing, flip-flopping, sighing, and finally Hip*Hip*Hooraying!! It's all here, under one roof! My website, one blog (merging both Drawn2Life and Knitterly Arts), as well as all the other good stuff offered on those blogs. I hope you enjoy taking a little tour across the red bar up there! So … Continue reading Welcome to my New Home!
Ebb & Flow
There seems to be an ebb and flow to creating. For weeks, you are knitting something (or several somethings) stitch by stitch. You hop from project to project, keeping it interesting. In my case, I also bounce from drawing to knitting, from painting to crochet, from typing up a new design to making cards and prints … Continue reading Ebb & Flow
Knitterly Sketch Journal Pages
I'm gonna try to catch you up on my yarny travels of late by way of my sketch journal devoted solely to the items I've finished knitting or crocheting. FINISHED is the key word here. A fiber project I'm working on does not get to be drawn into the journal until it is ALL DONE! … Continue reading Knitterly Sketch Journal Pages
Eclection Days
I've begun toting a big Aquabee sketchbook to the Friday morning drawing session at Eclection here in our town. This sketchbook measures a whopping 14" x 17", and the above is the first in this book. I've loved this sketchbook in its 9"x9" format so I knew I'd love the big size. (photo courtesy of Amanda:) … Continue reading Eclection Days
Stemming the Tide? or Riding the Wave?
The above drawing illustrates how I'm experiencing my days lately. The reasons for this are many and varied, not the least of which is just trying to get back up to speed with normal everyday living in the aftermath of major surgery. Life as a pastor's wife, a mother of three incredibly talented musical kids, … Continue reading Stemming the Tide? or Riding the Wave?
Where I Sit…
From where I sit, here in my studio sunroom, an amaryllis blooms above me. It sits on the piano grinning broadly at me while I knit, draw, write. It has been there a while, maybe a month or more. For the longest time, an inch of green shoot sat nestled in the loam. I watched … Continue reading Where I Sit…

The In-Between
In the quiet of early morn, my mind flits...like a hummingbird darting from one flower to another, not staying long enough to really drink much in or resolve a thought. This is how I know I'm feeling better. In the early days home from surgery, there's a single-minded response to pain. All energy goes to … Continue reading The In-Between
Macy’s Merry Wish
You may be wondering who Macy is, from a couple of posts ago with her crocheted Christmas trees. If you'd like a Christmas treat, put the kettle on and sip some tea while you read about Macy and her making heart. Begin here, then here, then end here. These three "chapters" about Macy will be … Continue reading Macy’s Merry Wish
