Hello Wednesday, again! \u00a0Sorry it’s been a week since I’ve posted. \u00a0Things are settling down and I’m trying to get back into the normal swing of things after the holidays and then moving my son twice in one week.<\/p>\n

My son, Dan, moved twice, but his cats moved only once, and are here with us for the foreseeable future. His two kitties are finally starting to get comfortable in our house. So comfortable that overnight somebody knocked all the stuff off my ironing board, including a magnetic pincushion full of pins. \u00a0Good thing we wear slippers around here! Our two cats are 9 & 10, middle-aged and mellow; Dan’s are not quite two, and I’d forgotten how much energy young cats have. They are a lot of fun, and sweethearts to boot.<\/p>\n

\"woyww<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyhow, my desk today shows I’m working on a couple jewelry pieces. \u00a0(I’m waiting for the cats to discover this table with the beads. Oh boy!<\/em>) \u00a0I’ll be teaching basic stringing and basic wire wrapping in upcoming videos and also will be teaching these as classes at Joann’s.<\/p>\n

In the upper left is a beret I just finished knitting. \u00a0It was \u00a0a free pattern from Ravelry and quite simple & quick to make.<\/p>\n

\"P1000533_small2\"<\/p>\n

This one in the lighter colors shows the pattern better than mine. \u00a0I LOVE how the yarn makes stripes.<\/p>\n

Btw, have you ever heard of the Collectionary? \u00a0It was just brought to my attention and it’s an amazing site. \u00a0If there’s anything, I mean\u00a0anything<\/em> you collect, you can find it here. \u00a0Trains? Yes. \u00a0Sewing machines? Yup. Star Wars? Naturally. \u00a0Cats? Which one do you want, Garfield, Cheshire, Grumpy Cat or the Cat in the Hat? \u00a0I’ve yet to think of something to search for that they didn’t have a collection of.<\/p>\n

\"dragons\"<\/p>\n

If you like dragons (<\/span>and you know I do!<\/em>) you’ll love their Dragons Collectionary. \u00a0I’ve even added several of my own dragon creations\u00a0to their collection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you in the January slump? Feeling in need of creative inspiration? \u00a0Check out the work spaces of lots of creative people from all over the world at Julia’s giant weekly blog hop. We like to call it\u00a0What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.<\/a>\u00a0Be warned, you might just get addicted. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Happy Creating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
