Patt with Two T's

Maggie's in the center--I read about her project, previously mentioned here, on Found Objects, which Leann and I have been doing for a few months.  Maggie lives in AZ and emailed me she'd be in the area, so I invited her to bring her family to Blue Sky when we're knitting on Tues. morning.  I placed a sweater there, so the group shot is on Maggie's blog.  I love how technology works to bring people together.    I've been busy with projects lately and even set up a gallery walk when our good friends Larry and Judith came over.  They're always interested in what I'm working on, so t was fun to display everything in my loom room studio.   I've done a few new necklaces, which were long overdue.  I had hit a roadblock recently, so was happy I made it over the hurdle. I love this one for Spring...it's mostly fresh water pearls in those odd shapes, which look like leaves.  I feel like this piece deserves a name--something about spring..... ...

 I should have written about this a long time ago...although I guess it hasn't really been that long that I've been involved.  I read about Maggie Leninger in Fiber Arts Magazine who is knitting tiny sweaters, then adding a label to each saying the person who finds this should please make a donation to the National Coalition for the Homeless.  It's called Found Objects and connects art to creating a difference in the world.  I didn't say that very well, but hopefully my point is understood.   I've done 4 sweaters so far.  Pictures are sent to Maggie who posts them on her blog.  We explain why we placed them where we did and she sometimes adds her own comments.  I've placed them in a planter in front of Savvy Skirts in Prinecton, at Blue Sky Farms where we meet to knit and have coffee or breakfast weekly, on a magazine table in my doctor's building, and on the table at our local post office.  You can see them blog at http://www.artivent...
