Cable Coffee Mug Cozy and Creative Friendship

Having started cable knit sticthced the past few weeks, I am now trying all sorts of projects to practise and become better at it. This project is fun and easy and is a Patons pattern. I knit this for a dear friend- Victoria -another crazy knitter. She made a cool cowl that she gave me and I thought I could give her some thing knitted. I hope she loves it! And it keeps her hands protected from burns.





 I think it turned out pretty well even if I made a few mistakes. I think it maybe even a fun project to put on etsy. I could do different colours, yarns and take requests too.

Here is a photo of Victoria and me with my new cowl she knitted. I love the colour and cable and yarn...so soft.

We had fun knitting the weekend she and her daughter Bronwyn came to visit us. It is fun being creative with friends. I treasure that time and inspiration we give each other.

Present Tense show at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery June to July 2025

Image
 I am so excited to be part of the Gibsons Public Art Gallery show for members. Every year there is so much amazing work displayed. This year, I displayed Frida the Third a sculpture for the first time. She was the third because the first one blew up in the kiln and the second one's earring holes were too small to fit earrings. Frida third was many hours of work and joy. I am happy to announce she was bought during the show to a happy couple. I am so pleased someone loves her as much as I do. Adios my friend! I also put 6 Tiny pieces and two of them sold so I am also very please to have the continues support of my art in its many forms and mediums.     https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMYmmRGRKaE/?igsh=bGR4NGkwYWprMjE3

Dave's Sweater is Finally Done

Image
Having had technical problems with my computer for a month or more. I have not been able to post or add photos. So long over due is a blog about finishing Dave's Sweater. I was originally going to to knit it as a Christmas gift but then I  became amgitious to finish  it for his birthday July 6th. So with hard work I did finish it. I was working right to the last day sewing the sides together and fixing any loose ends needing finishing. I am pleased with the results, although I do want to bring the sides under the arms as they are a bit wider than I think ideal. It has been fun knitting a whole sewater as lately I have been doing small projects. I did find it hard having to adjust to the pattern and custom fitting it to his body. For example his arms are long and I needed to make them longer than the pattern. But I know that it is a good learing experience as a pattern is not made for everyone exactly so you do need to make adjustment.

Art show at the Gibsons Public Market Summer 2025- Coastal and Creative Crone Series

Image
 I have an art show currently at the Gibsons public market from mid June to mid August. I hope you get a chance to take a look while enjoying the market.  I have two series a the market. On the mail floor I have my coast series. “Going Coastal” Going coastal is a collection of some of my art works inspired by living on the Sunshine Coast   Living on the Sunshine Coast, we are lucky to have many beaches and viewpoints of the ocean. There are many water sports or walks where you get to bask in the beauty. I enjoy kayaking, outrigger paddling, swimming, walks on the beach and the harbours, beach days, reading on the beach, hunts for heart rocks and enjoying sunsets. These are truly my favorite things about living on the coast. I find just looking at the water can be healing. I believe we can all relate to its calm energy and many delights from whale watching to eagle and heron sightings. I painted most of the paintings in acrylic on canvas. I enjoyed...
