Knitting anyone?

Growing up my mom was always knitting us these amazing sweaters and I never really gave anything thought into learning how. My grandmother had taught me how to crochet and I have loved that for years. So I have decided it is time to learn how to knit, I have gotten several needles and some really cool yarn. I have to say it was slow going at first and I had to start over several times but I have finally got the basic stitch down. Scarfs are all I have made so far and my daughter and I are loving them so much that I have completed a several now and have plans for several more. I have to say that with my mom not living close to me to be able to teach me, I found some great videos on utube that were a very big help. There are tons on there that show just about everything you need and want to know about knitting. One I have really enjoyed and learned form is Knitting Tips By Judy check her out. I hope to one day to get good enough to make the awesome sweaters that I see patterns for but for now I am content with making the scarfs LOL.

New Blog and Art Work

Hi everyone not sure why but I felt like starting up a new blog. Really I guess I did it in hopes that it would get me motivated to get back into my blogging.

So to start off, I was asked to draw and paint some artwork for a friends daughter for Christmas. I had so much fun doing this one. I used water colors with this one. I just love doing multimedia artwork, there are so many different things out there to play with. I used a sharpie for the lettering and scrapbook paper for her dress. Then I used diamond dust on the wings to give them that sparkle. To top it all off I used music note brads scatter around. Tara loved the painting and said I made it fit her personality perfectly so I was thrilled. I have a couple of ideas floating around in my head for couple more paintings so let the sketching begin.

XOXO
