It is amazing how much fresher the air seems when you have flow in your creative space. I am sharing a few more photos from my studio update.

I wanted to share a little of what I’m working on this week.
Above: I cast on 240 stitches of Cascade Yarns Eco Wool this week for my latest design. I am making a long, button-up sweater, but it’s almost like a coat. I haven’t decided what to call it yet. We will have to see what emerges, and maybe the details will come to me.
Below: Two paintings of trees with beautiful, vibrant backgrounds for my studio. The green one is finished and signed, and I will finish up the purple one this week.
Above: The perfect Spring jacket. I was out shopping one day and this cute little jacket caught my eye. I had to have it, or rather, I had to make it! From there I cut out my own pattern pieces, deconstructed a pair of (very large) dress pants for material, and started to make this little jacket. With a crew-neck collar, four buttons which become hidden inside their enclosure, pockets, cropped sleeves, and a full liner, I am pretty impressed with how this has turned out. I need a few finishing touches and a hem, and this little number will be done!
Below: Just a beautiful picture of what is hanging in my closet; the things I make.

Here it goes; I want to knit, I want to sew, I want to create. For my entire life I have circled around the fact that I want to be an artist, with the underlying question: How on earth am I going to do that? I am now 27 and finally starting to figure that out. It’s not going to be easy, especially being a single mom, but it is possible. My goals are coming into focus and I’m ready to take on the challenge.
I have turned my studio around and am feeling even more centered in my creative space. After a bit of thrifting last week I found some great things to organize my studio. Sneak peak here:

My good friend Adella makes the most beautiful clothing for children. I shot a few photos of her stuff today on her youngest daughter Madeline, so cute! Love her clothes too? Check out her Etsy shop.

Today was beautiful outside and while the sun warmed my face, I knit a swatch for a new knitting design.

I wanted to talk about how much I love my friends. They love me for who I am, encourage me to be how I am, and I feel the same way about them. It’s amazing to share in all the excitement of their lives too. We have so much in common, but are each so unique and truly beautiful. To all of my friends out there, I love you!
I took this photo on Friday at 11:11 PM. EST., for Art House Co-op’s grand opening that will be happening on February 26th, 2010 in Brooklyn, New York. Art House Co-op requested that everyone take a picture of what they are doing at 11:11 PM. EST. to try and capture a single moment in time around the globe. They are going to put together a huge collage of the images for the grand opening. So at 9:11 PM. my time, I took a photo of me with my best girlfriends during “movie night” hosted at my house. We watched The Secret Life of Bees, it was so good. In fact it was perfect.
