Creative Bookmarks
After work today I found myself sitting down and doing Arts and Crafts with a few friends. The goal was to produce creative bookmarks to promote the joy of reading.
I have been inspired this past month looking at so many beautiful pieces of mixed media art, and collage. My friends and I sat down with beautiful paper, scissors and glue, and let the creative juices flow.
These bookmarks will be given with donated books to a local elementary school to promote reading and literacy. As everyone is starting to think about holiday gift giving at this time of year, it is important to think of those less fortunate. Check through your bookshelves and in your closets for gently used books, toys, games, and clothes that you may no longer use. Consider making a donation to a local charity or school. Every little bit goes a long way.
News from the knitting front (My top 10 list)
- I seem to be casting on projects WAY faster than I am finishing them.
- Inspiration hit me today for a new mitten design, and I am enjoying the challenge of creating a new illusion knit mitt pattern.
- The pattern involves corrugated ribbing, which looks very effective, but is not something that I am good at doing.
- I sold my first Red Olympic Mitten Pattern yesterday! I’m very excited about that.
- December 1st is arriving quickly, and my Silent Auction Donation mittens are not done yet. Perhaps another movie/knitting marathon is in order!
- Thrumming can’t be done without fluff ending up EVERYWHERE!
- Some projects that were once top secret will be disclosed tomorrow, after having arrived at their destinations overseas.
- Some projects have yet to arrive at their destinations! (I’m getting impatient!)
- Despite trying really hard to do so, I cannot knit in my sleep
- A scarf really is as tall as a person! Get one out and measure….amazing eh?
