I’ve learned to knit and you know what that means…..more cool patterns! On the trip to Raleigh last week I was with two knitters and we decided to make this cool looking cowl so we pick up some nubby yarn. When I got home I got started. I had a pattern and everything….but I don’t know enough yet about knitting so on row 3 of the pattern I went rogue. Since I didn’t know what I was doing I just made it up…..and I like how it turned out. Then I made a crocheted version(pictured on the right). I think we’ll have a class in these in January. Get your hooks or needles ready!
The kids painted Pumpkin Pie at class yesterday in preparation for Thanksgiving Dinner! Great work everyone!!! That’s a LOT of pie.
We created wonderful little snowmen last night at The Studio. Wonderful creations in paint and paper!
For Caleb’s second lesson he asked to paint a bird. Here is his little chickadee! His siblings wanted their photo made with him. 🙂 Great job Caleb!
Yesterday it was hydrangeas that I painted using the knife. (This one is SOLD!) I am loving this method. Can’t wait to get home and really spread out and do some of these on larger canvas. We leave today after having a really great time at Art of the Carolinas. I have two friends who came with me and they have had some interesting classes as well. It is so much fun to be the student for a change!
Still enjoying Art of the Carolinas in Raleigh. Yesterday the Trade Show opened so I spent several hours browsing the vendors and picking up supplies. Lots of great bargains. Boy that was FUN!!!! Then I had time to work on more paintings. Here is another palette knife piece that I did. This is fun too! The Black-eyed Susans is on a 12″ x 12″ canvas with frame and is SOLD! 
I was out of town yesterday so I couldn’t teach my kids class. I asked one of my students to teach class for me. Logan (you’ve seen me 
I am so proud of her and how she stepped up to teach class for me. Thanks Logan….Great Work!!! And great job kids.
