What's happenin'

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything. I tend to forget that I have a blog page. So what's new? Well, I'm working on my third afghan. It's in the blue family for my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas. I wanted to make it a ripple pattern but for some reason I just can't get the pattern right, it is always off and I can't get the ripples right. Oh well, I'll stick to the pattern that I know works, 'sc ch1 sc' and so on.

I've met someone on match.com. We've had one date and are going to get together this sunday. He'll get to see my apartment. I'm not sure what he'll think, I tend to embrace my inner child and have stuffed animals all around as well as kenetic toys. There are canvases everywhere, and piles of fabric for sewing. The walls are covered with my artwork, there's no space left to hang anything else. Hopefully he'll embrace my eccentricities. I'll get to see his house too. That should be interesting. He's got a huge garden that I want to see as well.

I'm still working on a children's book for a friend, I'm doing the artwork. I'm to the point that I'm actually drawing and coloring. I'm using colored pencils to give me a larger color pallet.

I'm sewing, trying to finish summer dresses and short tops to wear with jeans. I've got 5 dresses to make. So I need to get going before summer is over. I can make one in two days so if I work diligently I can be finished in 10 days, theoretically.

Well that's all for today. Later!

Well, it's been a while since I've written anything. I've finished two of my three afghans. The last one took an interminably long amount of time. I don't know what I'm going to crochet after the last one is finished.

I'm illustrating a children's book for a client of mine. It's twenty pages and I've finished the roughs. It's called color pals and is about the adventures of these little people who are rendered in the primary colors. It's going to take me months to finish all of them.

Next month I'm going to my brother's for a week. My sister-in-law and I are going beach camping for three days. I'm sure we'll have a great time if the mosquitos and black flies don't eat us alive. We're going to Assatigue island.
