i notice I have not been faithful to my plan of posting..that 's life I would guess..into a new year and stuck in snow Armageddon ..it just doesn't stop..snow drifts that block doors and windows..so cold that kids don't want to go out and play on a snow day..fire burning brightly in the woodstove keeps the house warm...looks cozy too...
My knitting world is evolving into something totally new ..I am watching it all unfold in amazement, in fact I catch myself wondering if this is me doing this..I no longer feel the need to knit hat, scarfs, sweaters etc instead I am energized and challenged in making creatures...I am getting good at it and am playing around with the desire to create my own pattern...i put some of my works in Small Works at ALMAG again in Dec an sold creatures, but even more or as rewarding was hearing the complements on my work..validation...
I decided I wanted to enter a chair in the Take a Seat Chair..ity Auction this year. I yarn bombed a small doll rocker..it evolved from a vision in my head..a first for me ..I hit a few bumps but was smart enough to ask for help from the Gallery which they graciously gave...it was the hit of the show...last chair to be auctioned off..I was so proud..
In January a fellow artist asked me to submit a piece to another show in Feb..I agreed and then tried to back out...I panicked..he refused to let me off the hook...I managed to come up with a textile piece that worked...but the best part of all of this is that I am enjoying this..I am also teaching classes at our Fiber Club once a week...still work at school libraries ...and manage to continue to feel like a new person...I am starting to wonder what is around the next corner...best thing I rewarded myself and bought some new needles Signature needles DP...sharp and perfect for little creations...I will try and see about posting a picture of my chair...Fairy Tales
