No Great Flash of Artistic Insight


Keith and I went for a walk though the back fields this morning. The sky was a perfect springtime blue. The turkey were parading through last years bean-stubble. The wild apples made the fence rows a strip of white lace. I was feeling very poetic and creative. Ideas of yarn wrapping into perfect confections swirling through my head....and the pain shooting through my arm, reminding me that knitting or beading are out of the question for the next few days! My body and my brain are not in sync. I have tons of new ideas, but can't do much about it for a while.

So the above pictured purse may be the last listing for a week or so. I am pleased with how this purse turned out, but it was not some great flash of brillant, artistic insight. Orange is my favorite color, and I wanted to use up the Squiggle fringe in my stash. I found the beads on sale at the local craft store this weekend. Sometimes using up odds and ends brings about very satisfying results. I am sort of proud of the name too, Fawks in Felt. A little tribute to J.K. Rowling.

Hopefully my arm will be better in the next few days.
