ART JOURNEY: A Spring Morning
http://artjourney-penny.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-spring-morning.html
Friday, May 8, 2015. As each season arrives I think to myself 'this is my favorite time of the year'. Then as the season goes on I get tired of the snow or the heat or the whatever. I guess I just love the changes. Here I am on a spring morning. The picture above was taken from my kitchen window - looking out at the tops of the trees in their vivid bright green foliage. Starting out on my walk - I stop at the end of our driveway to savor the irises and flame azaleas all in full bloom. Nice pics. I li...

ART JOURNEY: July 2014
http://artjourney-penny.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 28, 2014. When I began preparing this doll figure, I wanted to convey my nostalgic feelings for that old-fashioned thing called 'letter writing'. The kind that used pen and ink, script or print by the writer's own hand - written, folded, sealed into an addressed envelope and sent on its way - with the writer hoping that it would arrive at its destination safely. Thank you Emily for all of the words you laid down on paper - they are lovely. Friday, July 25, 2014. This spider is looking for a ...

ART JOURNEY: February 2015

Friday, February 27, 2015. The Hand Stitched Doll. May I tell you what it is like to sit here in my studio hand stitching a doll? Music is quietly playing. Outside it is windy and cold and pretty much miserable. There is a heating vent at my feet. There is fabric and needle and thread. Meanwhile stories float through my mind and heart making a place for this soon-to-be finished hand stitched doll. Monday, February 23, 2015. Upon awaking I found something/someone perched upon my knee. It was all I cou...

ART JOURNEY: November 2014
http://artjourney-penny.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 28, 2014. And then there are the craft shops that have those bins in the back where they sell 'stuff' for $1. Okay - pretty hard to walk past that. Who in the world needs a huge bundle of pom-poms? Certainly not me - but the colors were fun, the puffy balls fun to touch and well. Never a knitter nor a crocheter will I be (due to the fact that I lack the dexterity of a walrus) but does that mean I don't have yarn in my stash? What can I say? Monday, November 24, 2014. To have her own nest...

ART JOURNEY: Another Pond
http://artjourney-penny.blogspot.com/2015/08/another-pond.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. Of "Moonie Bean Folkart is the winner of the first 'Whisper" doll.]. This summer brings yet another small pond to the original pond outside my studio window. Having a wetlands ecologist in the family is quite nice. Originally there was one pond where the frogs sat sunning themselves. Then another smaller pond was added to let water fall into the original pond. This beautiful spot is perfect for practicing the following quotation. Carol- Beads and Birds. August 7, 2015 at 7:49 AM.

Winnie's Creative Corner: June 2016
http://winniecreativecorner.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 14, 2016. I am loving the Ventura Swing Tank Top. Pattern. At first I was comprehending the pattern wrong and it was turning out really, really bad. I looked at the picture more carefully and re-read the pattern. I realized when she was saying to do something twice she meant the whole sentence not just the last stitch. Luckily I was only 3 rows in and was able to fix my mistakes. The new neckline I decided to go with is a pattern by Lion Brand called Sabrina Tunic. Wednesday, June 1, 2016.

Tuesday, January 19, 2016. Winter Soup and Finished Projects. This weekend was a cold one! We had a dusting of snow and I took time out to finish up my scarf and a beanie I decided to hook up to go with it. I'm happy with it and it will keep me warm and cozy for the rest of this cold forecasted winter! Stay warm and dry during these cold winter months. Sunday, January 10, 2016.

Sunday, March 13, 2016. Spicy Diamond Blanket Progress and Scarves. Well I have been working on my diamond blanket for the past couple of days. I have all my orange full diamonds completed and now working on my mustard yellow ones. I am loving how they are working up! In the first picture you can actually see the mustard yellow color compared to the other two. I am going to work up all the full diamond ones in each color and then do the half diamond ones and so on and so forth. I ended up going with my o...
