Beautiful Felons

Hello and happy Friday! I'm so glad the weekend is here. Meet a group of 13 beautiful felons... I wanted to make some smaller art quilts for my upcoming show... it's nice to have a variety of sizes in my opinion. These ladies were so much fun to draw! There are a few ideas I've been playing with surrounding these women... but haven't decided yet - so they may not be felons just yet. I really would like to do even more, but the clock is ticking faster and faster.

Messenger swallows bringing good yarn to coastal villages... I love the idea of messenger birds and have wanted to play with the subject for quite awhile. This one is already painted and has some writing/journaling on it. I'll be working through the weekend on these things and maybe a few more larger ones. I hope y'all have a nice and relaxing weekend!

Yummy Yarn

No, this isn't yarn... but fabric needed to finish the linen quilt I nearly have completed. Just a few more squares to create. I'll post a photo soon.

Fall colors for my daughter's leg warmers... must get to work on these post-haste so she can wear them now! This particular yarn is magic and when knitted, looks patterned and a bit 'Fair Isle' - love it.

Yesterday I went to my fave local yarn shop to find some sock yarn for my daughter's leg warmers. While there, I was seduced by this fabulous Noro yarn. I just couldn't seem to leave the store without it! I'm going to make a vest ... I've made 2 before and hopefully the 3rd one will be exactly how I planned :)

Second Sock

These warm, woolly socks are for my mom's birthday... I have a way to go before mid-November. I better speed it up! This is that fabulous variegated yarn that ends up looking 'faire isle', I love it! Hoping to get back to painting tonight, wish me luck. Happy weekend!

ps - Free shipping in my Etsy shop starting tonight, check it out!

Loving Orange!

Here is some irresistible yarn I found in Portland. I will make a scarf out of this... I'm so loving orange lately, in painting and most other aspects of life. :) I will be starting some new drawings probably tomorrow... I did not have a moment to do it... there was lots o' crazy, loud family times which does not equal good drawing time! (I need calm and quiet... kind of like study time).

As soon as I finish some I'll post new work, but for now, it's gonna be wild card fun stuff! Stay tuned.
