Wolle's shawl and Sheepy Birthday Art

I finished Heaven Scent by Boo Knits.  It is lovely in the Wolle's that was gifted to me by Deb!






Now I am not a big fan of cotton yarn but this is very pretty.  I did have a very difficult time reading the lace and keeping track of where I was. And I'm not sure what I did at the top border but it's very tight…next time perhaps…read the directions a little more closely!

Why yes, it is my birthday week.  Expletive deleted.  I gifted myself with some art that I had seen in Wales: 

This is by Helen Elliott, spotted on a wall in one of our lovely accommodations.  Thank you again, Joyce James. It is 12 x 12 and I just love it. You can commission one yourself at  Helen's website






It goes well with the mermaid theme in my bathroom…

And then, to my surprise, my Mom and Dad gave me a painting by a local artist,  Emily Watson. The scene is from Chincoteague.  I love this one too!

New mini triloom and some art


I have wanted a tri-loom forever and lucky I found a small version to practice with, not pricey…it's small, 7" at the hypotenuse. I'm thinking jewelry of some sort... 




While pondering that, I went to the Savannah College of Art and Design Sidewalk Arts Festival last Saturday, here are some of my favorites


Ginsberg


Misplaced snake art


un peu de Monet



where I didn't go in Spain, darn it...


 Frida


Alpaca with yarn…I had to call the artist's attention to the fact that I am wearing a silver alpaca around my neck...


The man…gonna reread


Caterina!
