I am A Maker

I think the best way for me to describe myself is with the word "maker".

I am not an artist, craftsman, artificer, I am a craft person who likes to "make" things.

I enjoy many forms of art, but I am definitely not an artist...I am a maker.

My favorite hobby is knitting.

Right now I am working on the

Honey Cowl Infinity Scarf by Madeline Tosh

This pattern is free on Ravelry and it is a very simple knit...you only need to know how to knit and purl

to complete this cowl.

The yarn is 100% baby, hand dyed by Liz, the color is 

Signs of Spring

 

I finished this purple infinity scarf, prior to starting the one above.

It is the same as the green one pictured above.

These two look totally different in the pictures, the top picture better portrays the color.

I enjoy adult coloring as well.

My friend Liz gave me this book.

These are postcards to be mailed, I always put them in an envelope so the do not get damaged.

I recently colored this one for someone special for Christmas.

I am also learning to paint with watercolors...

I am pleased with the Goldfinch, our state bird.

I will have to go back through my posts to see what I have shared here and then I will be able to 

show you the new pictures I have painted.

I also learned a new craft recently, which I am working on finishing, a

Temari Ball

This was a workshop with my friend Liz, 

it is very different than anything I have ever tried or made and I really enjoyed it.

The class was at the farm. 

I struggled some with this, especially once I got home and had to finish it.

Liz is awesome, she answered all my text messages/questions and even sent me a new video.

I am going to share that technique tomorrow,

My creepy crawling caterpillars are doing well, the 3 babies are huge already...

all the others are in chrysalis form.

More fun stuff tomorrow!
