It’s been a strange week with lots of yarn and the foot stool. It has been hard adjusting to being back to the daily routine. Ours changed drastically when we went from having 5-7 people here for a good portion of December and then about 3 days of 14 people and at least 4 days of 10. It has been a month since everyone went back to their regular schedules and it’s nice to be back to work. I love having family in, even with the stress of added people.
Yarn
This yarn…. oh this yarn is deliciously soft. I have used one like it before but this surpasses what was used last time. Velvety soft, it is so easy to crochet. The more I work with it the more I like it. It is called Chunky Velvet by Loops and Threads Yarn.
You can probably tell that I bought some yarn recently! It has been months since any new yarn made its way to the studio. This stuff is wonderful. It is a new pattern just for you. It’s in the works and not finished yet but it is coming soon.
In fact, several new patterns are coming soon. Several crochet pillow patterns and then some other smaller projects. I am working on a new afghan pattern but afghans just take time and time is in short supply.
The Footstool
Yes, the paints were out in the studio! This footstool is being painted and I am checking into waterproof coatings for porch furniture. I’ve been checking with my experts and finding out what the perfect finish should be before I start.
Taking a month off in the studio is a great idea but really hard to implement. So much peace and quiet comes from being in the studio up to my elbows in painting. I prefer it so much to any of the other projects that I have been working on.
Yes, yarn and the footstool have been keeping me busy, but I have to admit that it seems as if life is too crazy to spend time in here working. Also the last several days the weather has been beautiful and it is keeping me out of the studio. We did sort all the Christmas decorations and get them away. Normal is good.
Talk to you later,
