some drawings from this week




Just a couple of drawings from this week.
24 x 36 " conte' and pastel

a little hat


Omg! Can't believe how long it's been since I've published a post!!! Although, life has been busy with a family emergency. While waiting in ER, my chosen form of relaxation (knitting), produced this little hat and the start of matching fingerless gloves. (2ply self striping sock yarn - 100%wool)

PINK!!



Annemieke bought me PINK tickets as a Christmas present last year, and on Sunday the big day arrived! She is an amazing performer and we both thoroughly enjoyed the concert!

knitting the "medallion"


I've begun knitting this "cardigan" from the most recent Vogue Knitting magazine. It is a knitted circle with slits for the arm holes. Annemieke calls it a giant doily, which I guess it really IS! Knitted in cotton-linen Moda Dea.

Another drawing


Another pastel drawing from the other day. This model is Rhianne.
24 x 36".

Paul Kelly Concert



Paul Kelly is one of my favourite musicians. He's a local identity writing folk songs and stories that are familair to us Mebournians/Australians. Russell bought me tickets to see him for my Birthday! With much anticipation the nite finally arrived and Paul lived up to expectations! (He may not be pretty, but he sure can tell a tale in song!) Reason#101 why I LOVE Melbourne and will never live any where else!
