What compels makers to make one thing over another?
This picture almost makes me want to take up knitting. And yet...I would love to WANT to get myself all up in some soft yarny-type knitting situation, but it's just NOT ME.
My sister.... hell yesssssss. She is ALL ABOUT ALL OF IT.
I appreciate it. I wonder about it. I think it's magical. But I don't have enough wonder about it to do anything more than ask for knitting projects.
However, taking a picture of knitting and making stationery out of it... now that is MY JAM.
Oh yeah baby. Now we are experiencing some AUTUMNAL SPLENDOUR.I've been popping these in the orders from my shop.
Just a few freebies to go with the letters people have been ordering because it's fun and I already cut them out. Plus I have a bit of an envelope situation in my office. The pile just never seems to go down.
Why yes, that is a dahlia from my garden... still blooming even though it's November already. Is it global warming? Is it the mushroom compost? Is it the warm south wall the plant is growing against? Who knows but I am SUPER FINE with dahlias and pumpkins butting up against each other.
What makes a person want to do the knitting and another person want to make a note card of the photo of the kitting?
For me, it is the image in my head that I have to get out of my head. The only way out is to go through the process of making the thing the only way I know how. So last week, instead of forging ahead with the enterprise of making a new course, making new things for the shop, making the needle move, I just made myself some pretty cards.
It coincided with a bad cold that has been going around.... This three-week lingering sniffle cough achy head business. Today was one of those days that I climbed back into the pjs after my morning shower. It made me so happy in my sniffly misery.
