I especially appreciate the many ways you bring to our attention other artists as well, as in this post. Eileen's patterns are stellar, as are the paintings by Pierre and fabrics by Josef. Thank you for all the time spent in researching new and vintage arts to share with us. <br />* You've long been an inspiration to me Kristin, you're a true patron of all ARTS! * I love the ochre/olive painting in the orange bedroom. I'm soon to be painting a former back bedroom a shade of coral, with maybe teal or indigo windrow trim... for a new knitting/handwork space. Thank you for helping us all see what possibilities we can create for ourselves. <br />That is * magic * !!<br />Best,<br />Shell ~ & my tabby cat girl, who also appreciates a nice fabric. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-78458307989813143112016-04-06T22:32:45.517-04:002016-04-06T22:32:45.517-04:00But Kristin, what do you do in your spare time??? ...But Kristin, what do you do in your spare time??? (sorry couldn't resist). That's a lot! Plus sheep. Ithink I have been reading your blog since the beginning-although I sometimes fall behind. Love all that you are up to and that green chartreuse is wonderful! Hope to cross paths with you sometime not too far into the future.<br />gale (she shoots sheep shots)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10085790132325029548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-80131303336232127582016-04-04T11:08:11.797-04:002016-04-04T11:08:11.797-04:00Your she-shed looks fabulous and I am so jealous o...Your she-shed looks fabulous and I am so jealous of folks that have a lovely big place to create. Me, I have my coffee table :( I will get there one day. Love your blog and the fact you take time out of your busy day to share your steps with us, love it. <br />I really do love your place, your house and shed, looks like a very very comfortable home. Those colours you chose are perfect together!! Never would imagine blending colours like those two together but boy they work! Thanks Kristin for all you do and the steps you are sharing in your book making is fun to follow.<br />Victoria, BCsuzybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352740161333001863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-74865582177524574662016-04-04T08:28:43.930-04:002016-04-04T08:28:43.930-04:00It's fun to get a peek at your process!

I love seeing your color and pattern-drenched home and your family on the farm. My daughter taught Art and she and my little granddaughter have been creating together and are really a great team. My daughter will love knowing the way you paint lampshades. Can't wait to show her your video! My living room is....beige! I have bird-patterned curtains and a super-colorful Tiffany-style light fixture that my children loved, which was over my parents' dining room table. They wanted us to have it to remember the wonderful times spent with their much-loved Grandparents. It adds a zing of color here. I had to leave my 120 year old home 15 years ago and now live in a condo. It's not the same and I miss my garden! I don't have sun my deck but do have a daughter and son living in homes- my other daughter and husband are looking for one, also- and so I can enjoy theirs! I am aknitting person with a little crochet. Looking for best ways to teach my six-year-old artistic grand girl how to knit. She is very interested! She's tried a bit. Thinking of starting with finger knitting. Been gathering materials for her. Thank you for staying on Knit and Crochet! It wouldn't be the same without you! Sometimes I wish you didn't knit Continental as much, but now it looks more natural to me. I like knitting the other way, and when you switch to English/American I say, "Yay"! :-) You are so talented and approachable and down-to-Earth... Giving the message 'you can do it', 'you can fix it', etc. Take care! Looking forward to your new book!

You have such pretty windows in your farmhouse. Your shed is a wonderful space. Aren't they amazing when they're empty and a nightmare once they fill up. My big summerhouse is stuffed to the rafters with 'stuff' (mostly the kids stuff, when they 'come home' from wherever they've been living and deposit box fulls of it in my summerhouse)! It's all important stuff from what I'm told so I can't throw it away - but I'm going to threaten to do just that and reclaim my space!! Good luck with your decorating.Adalizahttp://adaliza.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-69699252781701355602016-04-04T02:20:32.527-04:002016-04-04T02:20:32.527-04:00Seriously, GIRLFRIEND, with ALL of the STUFF going...Seriously, GIRLFRIEND, with ALL of the STUFF going on in your EVERYDAY "Life", I'm in *AWE* that you can "breathe", let alone find time to "BLOG"!! - [756 - how MANY "drafts" on my Blog that I *should* be getting to!]<br /><br />hmm... Your SHE-SHED is coming along nicely. BTW, seeing as you only have plywood "veneer" on the walls, are there enough of those floor tiles to do a bottom border on the walls..?<br /><br />You know, the way you're going at it around the house with paintbrush in hand - [DECADES from now, this is how I envision your "ghost" haunting the house! ;-> ] - it's a good thing my Sister doesn't live near you, as you'd BOTH be "DANGEROUS"! <br /><br />Meanwhile, it looks like that cold weather is still here to stay some more. The snow you'll be getting later has missed us [so far!], only because of a COLD FRONT passing over us. Windchills were about 1F today! -- I probably shouldn't have photographed those teeny crocus sprouts yesterday... Not only did I "freeze" them "in time", but likely taunted the weather "gods" into freezing them for real! :-{<br />#Can'tWin<br /><br />Anyhoo, STAY *WARM*!<br />:-D<br />Auntie Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300073760215969631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-62783416516036221742016-04-03T23:43:01.377-04:002016-04-03T23:43:01.377-04:00I love hearing about what it takes to write a book...I love hearing about what it takes to write a book.
