Two scarves completed just in time for the chill which arrived today (with a grey sky which seemed a bit too wintery if you ask me). The pink and orange scarf has been in the works for two years (for real) and the blue one just about a year. What can I say.... I like the beginning of making, the picking colors, imagining what something could be. It's a time of excitement and possibility, you know? But lately I'm in the mood to wrap things up, finish old projects and give life to half finished beauties I have laying around. Anyways, I will be sharing a few of these old projects from time to time and will be sure to share the embarrassing amount of time each has been in progress. The painting pictured is coming along nicely and I have a few others in the works as well. The kids have a half day and there are things to take care of today and tomorrow but I'll see you over the weekend (or possibly Monday) with a few finished pieces.
So, are you into starting fresh or finishing things up these days?

I have been finishing things up for awhile now (it's a great feeling!!) and am ready to go ahead and let myself get excited about the new :)
ps love the scarves and your hair looks so cute!
Definitely wanting to be starting afresh. Spring is here, so there's an encouraging warmth creeping into the air - ever so slowly! Love the scarves, but particularly love the more unusual palette of the second one.
brenda-thanks...i gave myself a little trim a few weeks ago : )
heli6-i love them both for different reasons. so funny to be chatting with someone in opposite seasons...thanks for your comments!
Hi, Beth! Your cozy scarves are beautiful; yes, it's definitely time. I lopped off my hair (very short again), and yours does look pretty all curls and light. :)
The alphabet piece looks great. I have a thing for black birds...
i feel like we need to catch up in a big way.
and you look lovely,
and your paintings are wonderful,
and on, and on...
missing you, my friend.
i'm letting things fall by the wayside, is what i'm doing.
but i'm going to start to re-focus.

annri and tara-you're too kind!
i actually had to take quite a few shots since my chin is involved : )
Lordy! I have months worth of started projects from organizing darling daughter's bedroom, to de-cluttering the basement, to crochet projects and knitting projects. That's just a start of the list! Aaak! Perhaps I should halt all activity until anything unfinished is finished? Not the way life works around here I'm afraid.
Your scarves are lovely. Can't wait to see the finished encaustic. Loving the alphabet :)
love them! & your abc's!
what a lovely place for
a dear bird to land..
