Busy Day!

The last two collages I posted here ("She was a Dreamer" and "Her beauty was beguiling") have sold! A bunch of other things have sold today too, which is always nice. Funny how some pieces sell in a day or two, while other hang around the shop for months... I guess you can never tell what will appeal to people. I've long ago given up trying to guess... I just create from the heart, and just take it as a huge compliment when my art speaks to someone in such a way that they wish to make it their own.
Also... an update on another previous post... the bag I'm knitting! It's coming along quite nicely! The more I knit, the more in love I am with this yarn and all of it's luscious, stripy goodness!

Still stitchin'

I realized today that it's been ages since I've listed anything new in my Renegade Stitches shop. It's not that I haven't been crocheting and knitting... on the contrary, I've been knitting like a fiend, and still crocheting some. But oh-so-selfishly, I have been keeping everything I've made for myself! A few things have been given away as gifts, but for the most part, me me me! Here are a few things I've made myself lately...

Charcoal gray fingerless gloves...
perfect for keeping hands warm while knitting!

Soft, gray, wool-blend scarf...













And my current project... a soon-to-be bag! I found this gorgeous striping wool yarn at Butterfly Yarns (google them, and pay them a visit if you live in the boston area... they ROCK) I love the warm colors, and I'm pleased with how it's knitting up! As you can see, I've only just begun, but the plan is to felt it and line when it's finished. This one will be mine, too!

less than a week...

Until Valentine's Day! There is still time to get something special for your loved one!

Art and Food

While helping my seven-year-old daughter clean her room, I came across a piece of paper. Written on it, in my daughter's hand, was a single sentence:

"I have a huge appetite for Art and Food."

Yup. That's my kid.

Lost

My newest piece... "lost" 16x20 mixed media...acrylics, paper and colored pencils on canvas.
