Kerenza, who’s like a sister to me recently had her first baby…what happiness! To honor brand new Mama and baby Owen I created a little 4″ x 4″ canvas for them.
The bond of mother and child…
…is strong and steady…
…yet soft and gentle.
And shimmers with love.
Tomorrow, Bill, Brook and I will be heading to the nearby Hudson Valley area to visit some of the people who are closest to me. The subject of family has been on my mind a lot recently, and I have a feeling that this will be showing up in my artwork going forward.
For our short trip to New York I’m planning on bringing a big ball of cozy blue yarn so that I can knit myself a scarf. I love sitting around with the people I love, simply talking and knitting, listening and sharing. And you, what things will you be enjoying this weekend?
Wishing you a happy loving weekend with you and yours!

What a precious piece to celebrate Mama and her new wee one.
Saturday my eldest daughter and I are going antiquing – can’t wait to spend the day, just she and I poking around.
Life is so good – enjoy your weekend!

The piece is lovely Becky. The sentiments are just as beautiful. What a special treasure. So delicate and beautiful – just as the relationship is. Enjoy your weekend.

You encapsulated the bond so perfectly in this sweetest of creations Becky.
Your planned weekend sounds so blissful.
A mixed bag for me this weekend, from focusing on birthday cards for dear friends to stamping art that needs my attention for DTs – will remain to see how much I manage to achieve but plenty on the To Do List!

enjoy your weekend.

Sweet birdies!! are they felted? Your weekend sounds fun. Nothing special going on here. Celebrating our anniversary today….brings new meaning to “in sickness and in health”. Tomorrow going to a corn maze with the kids. I’m taking my cell phone just in case I get lost. 🙂

Yes Mindy, the birdies are made by needle felting wool roving. This time of year I enjoy getting all my cozy woolie things out.

Hi Becky! I love the birdie canvas, and I am sure your friend will love it too! What a thoughtful gift! Have a wonderful time with your family. I don’t know how to knit, but I have been crocheting and just finished a pair of fingerless gloves today. 🙂

This is so sweet, maybe I should say Tweet! I love the soft look, the mood you captured~
Oh, how comforting! Gathering and sharing with the bonds of family~
Knitting shows so cozy~
My house has turned into a Cookie Bake Off. My daughter
has friends over and they are baking cookies. Fall leaves n’ pumpkins will be baked and memories will be stirred. They are making Lemon Sugar Cookies. The house smells amazing 😀 It is raining, so movies and baking are the forecast for today! 😀
enJOY your family!
I love your gift~

Suz, I’m so glad to hear that you’re back to blogging. And ladies, thanks for sharing your fun weekend plans with me…it all sounds fantastic!

Becky, hope the family spirit is inspiring you this weekend. I’m seeing some wonderful sights on our trip to the UK, and can hardly wait to get home to put these lovely images on paper and canvas. Simple elegance seems to be the best description for what I am seeing….in fact that would be my description of your work!

What a beautiful canvas Becky! I am currently trying to teach myself how to knit, it’s so much fun. I am starting with a wash cloth, but ultimately would like to make hats and finger-less gloves. Send some happy knitting vibes my way!
