I'm working on a bunch of knitting and kicking Jean's seascape into high gear.  She approved the sketch I made, so I am getting ready to stretch the paper.  I'll be doing studies of palm trees and mangroves and suchlike and may be posting them here. In knitting news, I'm almost half done with my Lace Scarf!!!  Market bags are coming along. Mom's sweater back is done!! Working on her stockings, finished her blue scarf (yay money!) slowly getting her belt done...wow, I'm spoiling my mother with knitty stuff I guess.  I mean, she IS paying for half of it so maybe she's giving me business, but woooooww....I am really scattered today. I have more news to post when I get my head back.  Sister shirt to start, work on cables, work with other stuff...OH!! I found a new local store I can maybe sell my stuff when I get my inventory up!! I have GOT to work on those portfolio pieces again. Since I want this site to ATTRACT business and reassure people that I am actua

UPDATE TIME!!! My most interesting project at the present time is one given to me by Teresa Ruch of Teresa Ruch Designs, check her out at www.teresaruchdesigns.com. I'm knitting the Bird of Juno Scarf using her yarn and her pattern.  SO PRETTY!!!! Here's how it happened: Mums and I were wandering around the Hood River Fiber Festival. Stopping to admire her yarn, we struck up a conversation where I idly mentioned I wanted to make money knitting things.  Wonder of wonders, Teresa gave me a pattern, a hank of yarn, and said, "Go ye forth, and knit me a sample!"

That's referring to me.  I've been kinda lax.  Ok, so really really absent minded when it comes to blogging.  I'd flagellate myself a bit more but that could get dull really fast. OREGON! The wedding was beautiful. My cousin could barely speak his vows, and they looked so incredibly happy. I'm so glad I could make it out there for many a reason. The day was glorious, the food was great, I connected with my aunts and uncles in a way that was more adult, life is very very good. I will post pics of the wine cozy when I find the camera, it turned out LOVELY! Also while there, Mums and I stopped by a fiber festival, and I gots a commission!!!!! No job at Blicks for now, but they're keeping my application at the top of the pile!! More later, I have friends coming over and my place is a bit too much like a yarn/art store for entertaining. Toodles! E
