Before I leave....



I wanted to put up a couple of pictures of recent doings.




































I was blessed to have a visit from Mouse aka Grey la Gran, Agent Grey herself as she traveled across our fine state to her parents for a visit.
We had the best time eating, drinking and of course...crocheting and knitting. I had started a little crocheted sweater for the spring but had only finished half of one side. But with a little encouragement from Agent Grey, I finished!
Here it is!





















She was working on some wonderful projects. A very inspiring visit for me!







We have been moving into a new home this week...really for the past month.
More on that later. I just can't bear to think about all the things that aren't done yet. We are truly beat!


And lucky me! Right in the middle of the chaos I get a brief reprieve. I am going out of town to take a workshop with Lana Wilson, a potter favorite of mine. The class is at the Appalachian Center for Crafts in Tennessee. I am thrilled to go with a good friend and gallery owner Christina Brown...creator of a wonderful shop called Just Be.
We will be back on Friday evening and I will post pictures of the work we create.

Oh the joys of Penland!
I miss it and the fun we had running around like crazy women.
I have to admit that the stripes in the sweater don't do much for the old figure. This maybe a gift to my niece Haley.
But I will post a picture when I get home so you can see how dumpy horizontal stripes make me look!
