The annual Senior League Bazaar will be on Saturday, November 16, 2013, at the Three Rivers Memorial Building, from 9 – 4.
What does this have to do with drawing and knitting, you ask. (Yes, I can hear your thoughts from time to time – keep them sweet!)
Because this year is dedicated to finishing all the drawings for the upcoming book The Cabins of Wilsonia, the only paintings I’m doing are commissions. This means I don’t have any new paintings to sell at the Senior League Bazaar.
However, I have knitting to sell! Yeppers, knitted wooly cuddly cute handmade colorful useful items.
Why do I have time to knit but not time to paint?
Great question – glad you asked. (Remember, all interviewees respond to questions with either or both of those phrases and I don’t want to be left out of the current culture completely so this is my token way of faking as if I am “normal”.)
I can knit in the car, at home in the evenings, when I am in a meeting, if I am waiting somewhere. Bringing an easel and oil paints is somewhat frowned upon in a doctor’s office or at an airport.
That green purse is spoken for – forgive me for taunting you with it this way.

Hi Jana,
While there are many things we cannot do in this life, like yell fire on an airplane, I believe it would be HILARIOUS to go to an airport and start painting something. Just picture all the on lookers watching a master artist at work, ooooooh, ahhhhhhh, cooool, wowwww!! Oh, you missed a spot!! How about that in pink? Can you imagine??
Of course the reality of TSA employees and their questionable common sense would totally make the idea dangerous. Yes paint brushes do have wooden or plastic “handles” and a palate knife would be a no no. Too bad. You can paint in museums and don’t most airports have “art” on the walls and floors? Anyways! Your knitting looks fabulous, hope your sale goes well!
Hugs,
Melissa
Love the image of you in the airport or doc’s office with your easel and paints 🙂 Happy knitting!
Cheryl, thanks for noticing and smiling. Sometimes I sit all alone just cracking myself up.
