I'm getting ready for an art market this weekend, matting photos, cutting up note cards, and making photo blocks. There are more blocks to be made but I love how they look all together.
My dad found a cigarbox full of these wonderful cancelled stamps from the 1950's at a garage sale. He thoughtfully gifted them to Ben and me for our enjoyment. I tried to pick out the best ones that were meaningful to me: states I have lived in, people and subjects I am interested in, etc.
Thanks, Dad!

Every now and again, I love playing around with traditional patterns. Tumbling blocks are just timeless-- and the insertion of random striped blocks adds some spunk to this time honored pattern.
Bee blocks for the do. good stitches Love circle! I had these done about a week ago, but just now got a photo of it! It's been a busy week :) I loved making these, and I'm hoping to make more!
The big house has been demolished and flats have been built on the site but the stable block and the grounds remain. The grounds are now a park administered by the local council.
i started this blanket in april 09 and finished it last night.
it contains 108 squares from 200 crochet blocks by jan eaton. some of the squares i used repeatedly, and some i only used a few times. my method was to create nine squares at a time using three different patterns. i crocheted each pattern three times, using alternating variations of the three yarn colors. (does this make sense to anyone besides me?) the squares were then sewn together using a single crochet on the reverse side. i made sure to never put a square next to another one with the same color border.
i absolutely love this blanket to death. it is definitely my most favorite crochet work.

these blocks were my Christmas present from Elsie and Roxy. I thought they would be much easier than stones to balance and in one way they are because they have flat surfaces (although some of the planes are very small) but because they are manmade and not organic they don't seem to settle quite in the way stones do. As I was taking this photo I saw that the tenth block was still on the floor from the first tumble! They require mindfulness like stones, but when they fall they don't shock in the way the larger stones do, and also they don't have the potential to break a toe!
