Wily Wednesdays

Okay, it's time to jump-start this mostly inactive blog, and the obvious solution is art. From this week onward, I'll be posting a new creative endeavor every Wednesday. I figure it's a good way to break up the week. I'm always working on something, so it's time to start sharing. Sometimes I'll show something new, while other times I'll dust off an oldie but goodie. I've got lots of creative ideas rolling around in my head, and this will be my way to keep to a regular routine.

Let's begin with something bright and colorful and gay!


Crochet Rainbow Striped Afghan, 2008

This is a blanket that still remains near and dear to my heart. It's the first big crochet project I ever took on, and it took me a year (off and on, of course) to finish. Homemade pattern, and I kept it pretty simple. Over 35,000 stitches (I don't know why I counted that at the time, but now we know).

Gay Snowflakes

During one of our many Michael's trips, Kai found some wooden snowflakes. They were in sets of three graduated flakes strung together. When she cut the strings and started playing with them, we decided they would look neat as layered, painted tree ornaments. A generous amount of color and glitter paint later, they became our first collaborative Yule tree ornaments.
