Spinnerette

Voila, the maiden voyage!

Site’s almost finished, and it’s been a learning experience (read also: horribly frustrating). The image map on the front page is all set after a few false starts, ready to direct here, to my About Me page and my art portfolio.

NaNoWriMo is now up and in full swing, and I find myself wishing I knew some people nearby who were participating for mutual encouragement and brainstorming. I’ve never been very good at writing fiction, but I’ve always wanted to try. I think this year, attempting to blog something every day will suffice.

With blogging, painting and knitting I hope to be buzzing for the next while. I redid my kitchen table/painting space and I’m quite fond of how it looks.

I began painting the lower half of Alex’s face, I’m hoping to do a small series of super zoomed in body parts and such. It’s still very much a work in progress, but I think it’ll be great when it’s finished.

(I have strange patterned old wallpaper. We rent. I am not culpable.)

Snow is here. My heart, she breaks! It’s treacherous to go walking already with all the icy sidewalks around where we live right now. Here’s a photo I took with my iPhone on the way to Tim Hortons (OH, Canada!) for breakfast.

The roads are quite dry for now, but not for long..

I had a great find recently at the painfully understocked thrift store in town – a hand-knit sweater just a little too big for me. I consulted the hive mind that is my twitter and was told to wet and smell it to determine fibre content. Being the reasonable girl I am, and not being totally in the mood to commit arson on the thrift store (should I burn the sweater and find it is baby-melting) I took this wetting advice and Lo! Wool smell! (Don’t even try to convince me that you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t even front). So, I’m unraveling that baby-blue beauty. A sweater’s worth of wool for a buck-fiddy? I think so!

I’m beefing up my blog roll, so if you want to be added, leave a comment here and I’ll link you!

À Tantôt!
