This Week's Project!

I finished this week's project and I think that my next project will be another scarf knit in the potato chip pattern, in this same yarn. I just love the rich warm colors.

Both of the projects from these last two weeks are on there way to a new home, where there are sure to help keep out the New York winter cold.

Last Weeks Project!

Now that I've retired it's time to have some fun. I'm still getting up at 4 a.m., still cleaning house, doing a lot of cooking and just taking it easy. I've been cleaning out the closets, and getting things in order, but most of all finding time to do what I want to do, not what I have to do....

It's been a long time since I've taken the time to knit, so with fall here and the weather getting cooler I felt that this would be the perfect time to make this cute scarf.

Colors of Fall Bracelet

ArtBeads is celebrating the gorgeous “Colors of Fall” and I am really excited to participate as their blogging partner.

The wonderful fall hues were a true challenge. I love the greens, oranges and rusts of the fall colors, but my minds eye kept moving toward the rich purples, and my final selection were the Venetian Glass Amethyst Luna beads.

And to think, just a few years ago I would have told you I didn’t like the color purple, but purple is now my favorite color.

The Venetian beads are a beautiful color with gold and silver foil, with a hint of copper giving them an abstract look, and reminding me of fall colored leaves.

The antique copper grooved beads, the matte amethyst czech roundel beads, the gold kenya heishi all complemented the venetian focals, completing my design vision.

Can’t wait to see what Winter might bring....
