Cat Cave Revisited

April 12, 2016 by kellywalkerstudios

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.)

Temperature Blanket Update

April 5, 2016 by kellywalkerstudios

Temp blanket thru march.jpgI am catching up on the crocheted Temperature Blanket.  It’s coming along and you can really see the temperature changes now.  The strange weather we have been having from really warm days in golds and reds to drops in temperatures the next day in greens and blues really shows up.    I’m having fun with this.  Hope yours is coming along too.  And remember if you didn’t start in January you can always begin now (Find info on how here) and backtrack to January or just make yours an April – March blanket.  It will be beautiful!

Paint Parties Everywhere!

April 3, 2016 by kellywalkerstudios

Yesterday was a busy day with two paint parties – one at the Holiday Inn and one at The Studio.  Rice Tire from Maryland is having a retreat/convention here and invited us to have a Paint Party for their attendees spouses.  We had a large and enthusiastic group.  Everyone did a great job and is going home with a wonderful souvenir of their time in the Shenandoah Valley.

The afternoon saw us painting at our 1st Saturday Paint Party where we painted the third in our Four Seasons series – the Spring Tree.  They looked GREAT!

Lots of beautiful art was made yesterday!
