Misty Moon Poncho

Art, Fashion, Knitting, Space, Uncategorized

I was searching for inspiration and came across this yarn in my stash.  It’s Borgo dePazzi, degradé, 100% wool.  I made it up as I went along and it turned out to be a cute poncho.  I added one of my felted flowers and voila!, a misty moon poncho. Our view of the supermoon last night was spectacular.  I couldn’t capture the beauty in a photo but here’s my shot.image image

What Remains to be Seen

Art, Poetry

What remains to be seen

He’s painting like a writer writes.
In layers of colour.
Like similes and metaphors.
Transforming meaning with each stroke.

Mixing words into truths.
The colours bleed through.
Another word scratched into place.
Leaving a telltale scar we can trace.

Then a knowing starts to appear before your eyes.
Like words removing their disguise,
A form takes shape,
Demanding to be seen.

But what lies beneath?
Remains to be seen.

Miss Fix-it

Art, Crafts, Uncategorized

I got out my sewing machine, it’s been very neglected, for a very long time…

  
To fix this sleeve…

  
Now I’m inspired…I don’t have a stash of fabric like I do yarn so I may try to pick up some lacy cloth to remake some of my t-shirts into this…

  
How about these great ideas…

   
   

I love the old sweaters turned into mitts.  I have some thinking to do!!

So…..

We loved the Addams Family Musical!  It was full of sly humor and terrific dance numbers.  I’m always amazed by the costuming, make up and stage effects.  Sometimes I pay more attention to those details than the actual story.  It’s a delicious buffet for my senses.  I remembered my high school musical days down in the “pit”, playing music for Brigadoon.  The cast and crew did a marvellous job.  

We have such talent here in Nova Scotia.  I wish our government could see the wealth in funding our cultural endeavours.  Art and culture is what makes us human.
