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
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 alpaca, 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.
My friend Liz gave me this book.
These are postcards to be mailed, I always put them in an envelope so they do not get damaged.
I recently colored this one for someone special for Christmas.
I am also learning to paint with watercolors...
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...
More fun stuff tomorrow!

I enjoyed this post very much. I am neither a maker nor an artist but I love everything in your photos.
Gorgeous knittings and paintings. I love your color palette. The goldfinch look wonderful. You certainly got the technique for keeping watercolor light and airy. The caterpillars look so healthy and vibrant. I really enjoyed reading this post.

You've shared some lovely things Debbie, and your colouring is beautiful.
All the best Jan
A lovely post…different from most but I enjoyed seeing your interests. Love all of them!
It is nice you found hobbies you enjoy. The baby alpaca yarn is lovely. The cowl and scarves are looking beautiful. I like your goldfinch, well done. Cute caterpillar. Take care, have a happy day!
I love the term "maker." And your watercolor is growing by leaps and bounds. Lovely, all!
The cowls look great. Love the light colored one with Liz's yarn! Perfect pattern for that yarn.
I think that describes me also- just a maker. Love the colors of the scarves- more so the purple..one of my favorite colors.
That is a great way to describe us, I know I am not an artist, I never took any art classes, I am a student of you tube :), so thankful for that because I learn better by watching then by reading.
You do have a great range of things you like to do, I am the same way :). I am really enjoying the diamond dotz now too, it's hard to find pictures that I like, but I have an Autumn one waiting to be done :)
Loving your postcards and looks like your ready for Autumn and Christmas, they look great!
That’s a lovely book your friend gave you. I like wearing infinity scarves in the colder months, makes me feel all snugly and warm. The ones you are making, the colors are delightful. So nice to know your baby caterpillars are doing well.
