ornament-party-1 We painted this neat “Ornaments on a Branch” last night at the Paint Party at The Studio. Look at what a great job everyone did! We had a lot of “family” action too….a mother with her three grown kids; an aunt with nephew, and a mother-daughter. It’s a fun way to spend family time. We have another opportunity to paint this one this Thursday at 6 pm. Register here.

Self Striping is Great!

Posted in crochet, tagged Caron Cakes Yarn, Shawl, Wave Stitch, Wrap, ZigZag on November 27, 2016| 2 Comments »

I am in love with the Caron Cakes self-striping yarn. It’s amazing! I just completed this shawl/wrap out of the Caron Cakes Red Velvet yarn. It’s beautiful and I didn’t change the color one time. It striped all by itself! For those of you who knit or crochet know why I am so excited about this wonderful yarn. Plus it’s soft and the colors are wonderful. The yarn was originally suppose to be available for only 3 months in Michaels Stores as a special Birthday Yarn for the Caron 100th Anniversary. But everyone LOVED it so it’s going to continue to be available. Yeah! I can’t wait to try another colorway.

This week at our regular weekly art classes we had several painters finish the pieces. And they all did great work!

We have Nancy with her Geraniums from a photo taken on a trip; Cecilia and her elephants; and Catherine with her daughter’s Boxer. Beautiful work ladies!
