Open Studio Sunday

 Lace and the warm glow of orange. 
A welcome sight during these frosty winter days.

 Hopefully this crochet lampshade will soon be 
suspended over my Grandmother's chaise in the Studio.
It will go a long way to turning that corner of my 
Studio into a perfect place to curl up with tea & pretty yarn. 
Cross your fingers because I'm using a sugar starch recipe 
I found online and I'm not exactly convinced it will work. 
Stay tuned....

 My favorite balloon blower-upper.

 Here's a look at what's happening in the Studio today: 
happily drawing & cutting my own stencil. 

 Once my original is drawn and the stencil is made, 
I transfer my design to organic knit. 
I hand cut select areas and then begin the slow but lovely 
process of working toward this end:

And what is all of this for? One of those seeds 
planted a long time ago is finally sprouting
I'm sharing my process with you here each 
Sunday so we can see it grow together.

Have a week full of smiles & do some thing fun!
I hope you'll come back next Sunday to see 
the crochet lampshade, for better or worse.
