Love this artist's work.
Elwood Howell

It inspires me to keep working
and being creative.
So imaginative.

I played with an abstract self portrait of a sort.
Not sure why I am using pinks lately.
I guess I am in my Pink period.......

March is half way through.
Such a fast paced year.
Second pair of toe up socks is on the go.
I had to reconfigure the pattern for a 
different weight of yarn.
The first one has almost passed the heel, stalled 
because of neck issues.

So although I am excited and inspired about a knitting
book of some kind, I have now become even more
excited and inspired about painting.
Taking the classes has me remembering how 
much I enjoy it.

I have booked another set of art classes starting
in a week or so. Will be awesome.

I have also been watching/looking at whats happening
for fall 2016 in fashion. 
I am a pattern maker, and am 
constantly looking around  for ideas.

Fashion is in a weird spot right now.
It is everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
There is not one idea, but many being shown. 

Basically its coming down to a personal feeling
that is being expressed. 
Somewhat confusing but I wonder if that
is why we have men dressing as cartoon lumberjacks
and women using the legging as an all encompassing
fashion go to for a pant....

Me, I have my "uniform" that I wear 
for work. A black t-shirt and jeans.
I find that I have so many creative things occupying my
brain at any one time that I don't have 
the creative energy to think about cool 
things to wear myself. 

Today I was watching an inspiring series
from Alexa Chung and British Vogue 
that kind of makes me want to put 
more energy into myself and renew 
my passion for having my own 
little shop making and selling my own designs.

Well, thats all for now. Made a 
quick small batch of cookies.
Need to try one.

talk at you later
