We made a trip to the Tulip Farm yesterday to pick a few but mostly to take photos for painting reference. A beautiful day. Burnside Farms is right outside of Haymarket.

Just finished this vintage ripple crochet throw from a pattern I found on Pinterest. (I LOVE PINTEREST!) It’s wonderfully bright and I like the use of double triple stitches to make the long shells. Give it a try. Click here to find the pattern.

For the past several weeks Sophia has been working on a copy of a Japanese woodblock painting of the Wave. Her aunt requested that she do it for her so she worked really hard on it to make it very nice. And she did! Excellent work Sophia!

I worked up another “Cat Cave” recently for a friend’s cats. I was using up some end pieces of skeins of yarn. That is why it is multi-colored. (See the first one I made here.)
