March is National Crochet Month

News to me. But Neatorama says so! (But some of their links are knitted, not crocheted. Picky, picky.) I’ve blogged about some of these before, and even given them places of honor in my Snark and Awe links. Enjoy!

Back in The Artful Corner

I am pleased to announce that I have several pairs of earrings in The Artful Corner, a wonderful boutique in the Houston Heights. I had pulled all my inventory for the holidays, but I’m very happy to be back. If you’ve never been to The Artful Corner, you’re missing a treat. It’s an amazing little shop on White Oak near Heights Boulevard, full of beautiful, fun stuff. There are a couple of events there in March; check them out!

Time yes, energy no

Hey, I got an unexpected couple of days at home this week! So I should use that time wisely, catching up and even getting ahead on jewelry and other goods, right? Yeah, except the extra days at home came about because I was sick. So I spent time just vegging out and sleeping. When the body is down, it takes the brain right along with it. Sigh. But I’m better now, and I’ve still got a whole weekend to work.

The jury is in

I’m in my first juried show! I’ll be at the Festival of the Arts in Corpus Christi the last weekend of March. This will give me three weekends (or at least Saturdays) in a row in March/April. That might be insane. But if I’m lucky, I’ll be facing the same situation again in May. My schedule is on my website.

I miss knitting

I’m not knitting anything right now. That’s very, very unusual. I’m just so ambitious at present with McCord Works projects that I cannot justify a personal project. I’m crocheting like mad, and I have other weaving and dyeing ideas either in my brain or scribbled on pieces of paper. But I miss knitting! Argh! I need to rectify this situation as soon as I can.

White sale continues

Time for a glass of wine

Today I finished ’shopping, I submitted for a juried show, and I updated the holy heck out of every site I could get my hands on. Now all I have to do is sync up the flash drive and update the everlasting To Do list…

Will it blend?

I just spent a tiny fortune on some very fine fibers. This will be for an entry for the annual exhibit by the Texas Museum of Fiber Arts. I went to the opening gala last spring and had a marvelous time!

Let’s hope it gets me some juried shows!
