Just got through making this crocheted vest simplifying a pattern so that we can offer this as a class for beginners at The Studio. It turned out great and can be done in any yarn and for any size. And the best part is that it’s very simple. Let’s give it a try!

Yesterday I worked on a project for a new class for The Studio. We always see really cute shirts and sweaters at this time of the year with Heart or Shamrock motifs….and even Bunnies as we get closer to Easter. But many of these sweaters are super expensive so we figured we would just Do-It-Ourselves! This class will be coming soon to The Studio. Watch for it! (Oh, and my Shamrock turned in to a Dog Paw. Imagine that! LOL)

I’m working on my scarf for the upcoming ConGT in Tennessee on March 17-19. I am going back over to hold a few Paint Parties. We’ll be painting the Exploding Tardis and either a Tardis or Dalek. (Click the links to see them and register.) But in the meantime I’ll keep working on my scarf. (You can see Lincoln in the window. He is a little bored with how long it’s taking. LOL)

Diamond Shoal, 1905, Winslow Homer (1836-1910)
An email from a cousin got me to looking at what is happening in Philadelphia in early April. I was delighted when I ran across an exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art featuring American Watercolors. Take a look here. Looks like a field trip is needed.
