Back to my AF Roots

Just completed my second Air Force creation!
The first is a diaper bag I made for an adorable little girl named Clare born last spring.

The diaper bag is made out of one her father's old flight suits! I also made her a little sweater and got her a couple of adorable outfits! baby cloths are just to cute & easy!

Today I finished a purse I have been working on for a while - always something interupting progress! I can't wait to carry it at the Academy this month! I will be the only mom with an Academy logod purse!!!

The purse is knit, the 2 blues on the outside and tan on the inside, it is reversible! I crocheted the AF Academy logo and sewed it on, so it has a neat textured affest. I used craft foam sheets in between the layers to help it keep it's shape and still be washable! The Button is a button off of one of Jim's Blues uniforms!

I have about 10 more ideas, just need to win the lottery so I have the time! A maid would be nice too!!!

The Last One

The last one stands alone almost quivering succumbed to his fate but not realizing his opportunity. What was once filled with noise of all kinds is now quiet, calm, tranquil even, all buffers have left, just he remains. Left with memories of what was and fleeting vague visions of what will be, gleaning hope for tomorrow from any direction. With fire in his eyes and non in his heart his belly aches for signs and direction, but he is the last one…  

 

Saturday morning Sale #1

I have not done this since 1991 when I spent a Saturday with some paintings I had done at an art fair. I remember then thinking it was not really a great way to spend a Saturday.I mean let's face it everyone is looking for a deal, an-as-of-yet-undicovered master who does not the realize the value of their own work so they can buy it cheap, keep it in a closet for a few years and then sell it for millions!

I am not sure how often it really happens, but that was my impression that saturday of the crowd and everyother crowd at an art fair I have been to since. How do they know more than the artist - sorry, another post I suppose!

My table is ready, my husband is ready now all I need is for me to be ready!

I am ready, I am ready to spend a gorgeous Saturday morning with my husband enjoying a large McCafé, checking out all the neat things the other vendors make, but I'm not sure I am ready for much more than that! I enjoy talking about Viking Knit and meeting new people who are creative, I enjoy feedback about what I am doing - maybe this won't be so bad after all! I'll let you know - but man, I think my table is going to look pretty snazzy in the sunlight!
