Blankie for Henry, almost done!

I still need to weave in the loose ends, then hopefully crochet on a blue border! But here it is, reaching from my toes to my belly lying down in bed while working on it!

One night's work!

Knitting is BRILLIANT. Look how far the blanket has already come from one night's work:

Another Baby on the Way...

...means another baby blanket on the way. Sticking with green, as I did for Ruby's baby blanket, Henry Ryan Kinlund's blanket will be a simple pattern of alternating green hues in thick stripes with a blue modeled border...pending my neighbor teaching me how to crochet a border on to a knitted blanket!

Like riding a bike ...

Turns out, a year later, making tutus...exactly the same! A word to the wise, do NOT use wired ribbon for a waist band, which I was forced to do as after hours of searching my mother and I could not find our ribbon stock anywhere in the attic. My fingers are raw! Here's a picture of the first, 2010 season, finished tutu:



Fern Gully-Thanks for the name idea Shannon F.!

Progress!

Much progress has been made in just one day in my new studio!

See the sexy portrait I am doing of my best friend below, from this morning to this afternoon (oil on canvas), and an old painting from college (oil on Masonite.)














I photographed for memories, then sanded and coated in gesso to start a new piece soon. This piece was a study inspired by Cecily Brown's original (click here.)
