Better watch out....

if you stand still at my house, you might get crocheted!
antler

I got this idea in my head a few weeks ago; I mentioned it to a friend and she brought me an antler Wednesday night!  So this is what I've been engrossed in the last couple days:)  I'm really thrilled with how it's turning out.  DH thinks I'm silly; I do get a little giddy over it.  It just tickles me!

I hope you all have fabulous, blissful weekends planned.  We're off to see a play tonight, Too Much Memory.  It's supposed to be funny; we really enjoy Salt Lake Acting Company's productions, so this one should be good.

Here is something fun to do this weekend if you're lounging about: Jen at Indie Fixx is doing a pen pal project.   I love the idea of reviving snail mail.  I know myself that I love getting mail - good mail! not bills!  Both giving and receiving mail is wonderful; handwriting a letter, using beautiful paper and a special pen that feels so good in your hand.  I have a Waterman fountain pen with purple ink; writing with it feels luxurious.  Granted, it's not a Mont Blanc, but that will come!   I also love the idea of mail art, wonderfully decorated envelopes or sending odd things in the mail to see if they arrive:)  If you want to play too, check out Jen's site and get yourself signed up for a pen pal!

Have a fabulous weekend!

  2. Wow totally cool...an antler! It's like those art attacks, where folks knit stuff all over like light posts and trees!

  3. A'isha, it will be nothing more than a crochet covered antler:) I'm going to set it on my coffee table or maybe hang it on the wall and just admire it!
    Linda, yarn bombing yes! Don't tell, but my friend and I are going to go do that. We're gonna be hoodlums!

  4. Well now, would you look at that--an antler--who would thought of that, except you :) I love your creative mind! I think letter writing is a lost art--maybe there will be a revival?
