Knitting…

Posted on Posted in Art, knitting

 

I managed to squeeze 2 knitting projects in between deadlines and all crazy house renos. In chaotic times like these all I find myself wanting to do is sit still and knit… but it ‘s usually the last thing I actually ever get to do.

I enveloped this plate in furry yarn for the Feast Your Eyes Fundraiser. We were each given a plain white plate to make something out of. I love the simplicity of it.

I had to make this hat when I saw it. It’s for a sweet little newborn babe. The pattern is from 60 More Quick Baby Knits. I knit it with the Superwash from Belfast Mini Mills. I think it might be the cutest hat I’ve ever made.

Ok, now back to work… but I will be daydreaming that maybe this will be the year I finish this one…

 

Saturday at the library

Posted on Posted in Illustration, Life3 Comments

 

When I was young my dad used to take me to the local library on Saturday mornings. It was the highlight of my week… picking out books for the week, getting to spend time with my dad. There was sometimes a puppet play or story time too, I have such fond memories of all if it.

So you can imagine how special it felt for me to be a part of a Saturday morning at our own local library.  The room was jammed packed (with even some people I didn’t know!), good time was had by all.

A BIG thank you to all who came, and a super big thank you to Kids Can Press and Robert Heidbreder for letting me work on this amazing project that just keeps giving back to me.

Tomorrow

If you are in Charlottetown please come down to the Childrens’ Library tomorrow morning. My amazing friend Josh will be putting on a puppet performance. I’ve seen his puppet work before, trust me it’s something not to be missed!

Marylou, the children’s librarian, will be reading Noisy Poems while I do live drawings. I hope to see you there!

New Work

Sorry for the radio silence here. Our house has been torn all apart for the last few months… but these last few weeks our kitchen has also been gone. I’m finding this hardest of all. I’m realizing just how important the kitchen is to me and my sanity. This whole renovation has really shown me how resistant to change I am… something I need to work on with myself! I have fought my husband every step of the way… that poor man.

This summer was a busy time for me work wise too. I just came across these little puzzles I designed for an Australian company called Glottogon. I think they turned out super cute. They were lots of fun to work on.
