ah ... the days are getting longer, there's a burst of color in my garden ...

the bleeding heart is drawing hummingbirds to the yard and the bird feeder is drawing squirrels ... squirrels who defy gravity in their attempts to leap from the roof onto the feeder ... scattering seeds everywhere ...


while some things are just springing to life, others are coming to an end ...

i have just 7 weeks left in my fiber arts program ... 7 weeks, 3 major projects, a gallery showing, resumes and artist's statements to write and rewrite, photos to submit, biographies to prepare, ...

this week's assignment is to produce and install a public piece of art ...

my fellow knitting friend, Suzanne, and i have worked with our local city hall and we will be installing some large knit pieces in the commons area ... large sometimes in size but also in quantity ...



my task? ...

knit 48 pieces to cover posts running on either side of the driveway/parking lot of sammamish city hall ...

at this point, you are probably thinking "my goodness did you knit 'til you bled?" ...

a valid question ...

alas, no ... ms heart delved into the heartfelt funds and bought herself a knitting machine ...



all set up and ready to knit ...


here's the first of 48 pieces ...

so all is well in my fiber world ... and hope it's the same in your world ...

and if you happen to be anywhere near city hall in sammamish this weekend, and you notice a deluge of color on the horizon ... it's not recent boy scout plantings ... in fact it's our first big public install ...

now back to my other life ...

making lunches, cleaning kitchens, walking the dog, soccer practice, karate lessons, piano, homework (mine and theirs), grocery shopping, costco runs, cutting the grass, doing the laundry, doctor appointments, volunteer jobs, post office runs, keeping up with my own running and workout routine, etc ...

... so glad i'm not a "working mother" ...

hmmmm ...
