Goodness: Actual knitting content.
The Knitting Companion
has been supervising
some sock creations.
he is quite fond of the
Casbah yarn. and i am too.
I have to sew in the ends
and they'll be ready to wear tomorrow.
There is enough yarn left over to make ...
part of one sock. Hmmm.
There are some other socks
in the making. No Dramatic
photos yet.
The fuzzy Standard poodle,
the Knitting Companion, enjoys
his Post-Breakfast, post play-time nap.
Breakfast is usually
followed by a short but rousing
game of "catch the (toy) chipmunk"
or lately, "wrestle and growl
with the large grey (toy) sheep".
Games are very important.
instead of Smurfs,
cards, plants or paintings,
there has been some baking
going on in the kitchen.
Rare ?
yes. and yummy.
Peanut butter cookies.
And may i confide to
you that they taste
excptional when paired
with Grand Marnier.
I kid you not.
The Knitting Companion and i have
been sharing a lot of VeryTogether
time this week.
He's a great sport and of course,
a stellar Companion.
We've even been
knitting. And watching movies.
Today is a birthday for
Mrs. B. ! Many happy Returns of the Day
(and season)
"My life flows when I'm in my art."
(Jean De Muzio)
Happy birthday to my special
friend David.
recently, i saw this grouping of
books through a window. ...
and i just can't help wonder
what IS "pig magic".
Recently, i read this book by Nora Ephron.
she made me laugh.
I bought this book
in June. it's an illustrated journal
by frida kahlo.
with translations.
"In my isolation I grow stronger,"
said Paul Gauguin.
"My work is always better when I'm alone
and follow my own impressions,"
said Claude Monet.
"If the artist is serious he must sink himself in solitude,"
said Edgar Degas.
Sometimes, working alone is fantastic.
i recently signed up for a painting workshop.
it was .... a lot different than i was expecting.
and it confirmed for me, that this is a good
time for me to be working and creating alone.
