Let me just say that I am back from Washington, D.C., I had a lovely time, and I am now wading through all sorts of work that piled up in my absence. There are some very pressing deadlines today—but the flip side of that is that once I’ve made it through today I can breathe again for a bit before classes start up next week. I promise more extended, more thoughtful blog entries soon, perhaps with some travel stories included. Meanwhile, wish me the proper blend of judiciousness and compassion as I determine winter quarter grades.
Tuesday Mewsday: Button, Button
I’ve been holding back on one goodie from Stitches West: these hand-painted cat buttons.
While I was going ga-ga over the fiber blends and colors at the Argosy Yarns booth, Melissa picked these up for me. Rather than using them on a garment, I’m thinking of designing a sampler to embroider around them.
Susan Clarke Originals has a wonderful web site, replete with cats and bunnies and dogs and berries and birds and needlework motifs (including knitting, of course). Warning: visits to this site can be hazardous to one’s bank balance.
