Learn to Crochet-A Perfect Hobby

Posted in Crochet, daily painter, tagged crochet scarf on October 15, 2019| Leave a Comment »

Crochet Infinity Crocheting is a terrific hobby to develop. I learned as a young child from my grandmother who was patient enough to teach a curious young girl. And I’m glad she was because I have made hundreds of items over the years. It is something I can do for a few minutes in between doing other things or I can sit for hours and crochet. That is the beauty of it. You can pick it up and put it down without any preparation or clean-up. And you can take most of it anywhere to do. Stick it in a bag and crochet while in a waiting room or on a long car ride. I LOVE IT! 20170901_070828 If it’s time for you to learn then be sure to come to The Studio on Friday, October 18th and get in on the fun. We will learn to make an infinity scarf.

Bread Making

Posted in daily painter, Serendipity, Small Town Life, tagged Bread Making, Cinnamon Raisin Bread on October 9, 2019| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday morning, before my sister has to leave to go home to Georgia (she came up to take care of Lincoln so I could go on my trip to Cape Cod for the art workshop), she gave me and my friend Ruth a lesson in bread making. She makes a ton of it where she lives as people are always requesting it for family events and fundraising. It’s a marvelous cinnamon-raisin bread. We even tried a variation using apples….and it turned out great too! It was fun to do something a little different from creating art…the only problem is that you can’t just eat one slice. Before you know it a half of a loaf is gone. Oops!

Last Day with Angus

Posted in daily painter on October 7, 2019| 3 Comments »

Yesterday was the final session of the Angus Wilson workshop at the Falmouth Art Center. It was great! This is the best workshop I’ve attended in years. Angus made sure everyone got individual attention and answered all of our questions. And his demos were excellent. At the end of the day we all shared what we had produced and it was amazing to see everyone’s work. Here’s mine. I’d do this workshop again in a minute … if we can just get him back to the East coast.
