When I'm not asleep I keep busy by doing various things. I'm lucky because it's the Spring Classics cycling season. There are races on regularly. I love being able to watch them live. Every Sunday & Wednesday there's a race to watch. It's great.
Lisa (Zack's Mom) has loaned me a bunch of British dog magazines to read. Those are fun! I am learning lots of techniques to try on Paisley ; ) Other than that, I haven't done much reading. I've been focussing more on crafty things.
I have done some knitting, and some jewelry making. I have been trying to do some photography (see post on video), although not too much of that yet.
Here are some of the things I've made so far.
Jennifer gave me a ball of wool for Christmas called CanCan. It's one of those wools (or fabrics, really), that creates it's own effect. You only need 7 stitches! It turned out beautifully. I showed it to Jennifer today and she thinks it is very fancy. I agree!
I also made this neat shawl, called the "Sett Road Stole". I like variegated yarns.
I finished a felted bag that I started about a year ago. It isn't perfect, but it's OK for a first attempt. I have some more wool to try another felted project with, but that'll have to wait.
I've made a couple of necklaces, one with matching earrings. I need to pick up a few more supplies to finish a few more. Mom bought me the beautiful bracelet in the one picture, so I made a necklace & earrings to match. She bought herself a purple bracelet (same design), and I made her a necklace too, although a different style.
I started a special spring project, which I will post about next.
Mom also bought me this extremely cool camera necklace from some local artisans. She went to the fashion show at the SAAG and found it there.
A late addition - Mom bought a bracelet like mine, except hers is in purples. I made her a sort of lariat type necklace to match. Then she found this adorable little ring that matches - and it's a watch! How cute is that?
