Old Paintings Lookin' New Again.

I've been looking through my older works and they really need saving. There's some that I rushed through and didn't finish for no real reason; and others that I said were finished, yet I didn't sign.

So, recently, I grabbed the ones that I wanted to put away and sorted through the rest and have organised myself to finish my unfinished paintings. It'll get me into my art again and I'll totally enjoy it as it'll get off the computer and working on other things around the house (and back into my knitting trees too!).
I'll keep you all up-to-date with what I've been doing and how well the paintings are doing (or not) and I'll be providing photographs with their progress too! So, stay tuned and you'll see them go from bad to good to better as I fix up my paintings from years ago into what they are supposed to have looked like to start with. Well, until my next post, keep knitting and keep creating.

Riley's 10th Birthday Gift!

Today, I gave my niece, Riley, her birthday scarf. And she loves it! The moment she unwrapped it, her mouth dropped and she pulled it and put it on! I'm so pleased she loves it so much. Here's some photos of the moments of pleasure and joy from today!

And she wore it until a few moments ago when she asked how I made it. I told her how and she said it's not itchy or anything; saying how lovely and soft it is; even the tassels. So, I've made the best scarf for the most wonderful little girl. I said that once she gets older, she'll be able to put it with other outfits too and she said she'd never throw it out.

Not Much Happening ... Craft-Wise

It's been a while since I posted anything to do with my knitting, trees or painting; and I must apologise about that. It's not that I'm not doing anything, it's just that around this time of year, we have a lot of things going on in the social calendar that craft tends to take a backseat.

So, I've been trying to knit a thin scarf; without success. The painting of my chair is still halfway through (I'll finish it later rather than sooner, I know it!) and I'm learning a bit of the piano right now... which is harder than it sounds; as the silly thing is really out of tune!
Otherwise, one of the scarves I knitted in one of the earlier posts has been given away as a birthday present and Mum absolutely loved it! Just look at her on her birthday wearing it! Doesn't it suit her? She loves the long tassels and the purple colouring of it. I'm so glad she loves it so much. Well, until the next time I have a project, keep creating and keep knitting.
