"Wayne"

11x14 oil on canvas

so this is Wayne!..(named after the photographer who was nice enough to give me permission to paint this gorgeous hunk!!).. AND the crawl has officially begun.  i spent most of friday afternoon in nashville at the Clay Purl.  it's a very tiny shop but lots of personality! it was a dreadful day for the crawlers..cold and snowy and windy!.. yesterday i was at Shabby Sheep and Ewe here in Columbus.. a much prettier day and i really had fun!..my daughter jen brought me lunch and stayed for the duration!  she posted  such a nice piece on facebook about the shop... i'm sorry i forgot to post anything about where i'd be..and so i decided to head back there this tuesday afternoon.  for any local peeps who would like to stop by i would love to see you!  you don't have to be a knitter!..i thought i'd list my schedule for the rest of the week..tomorrow i'll be at Starstruck Cat Studio (3130 meridian parke dr. suite M in greenwood).. tuesday back at Shabby here (1113 16th st, across from the face place)...then i'm taking the day off wednesday.. thursday i'll be at Village Yarn (209 S. Mail st. Zionsville) from about 1-3 and then with the Nomad Yarn Truck at Timber City Coffee Roasters (2481 e. main st in Plainfield) from 4-6  ..luckily, i'll be spending the night with my daughter-in-law and then friday i'm at Black sheep (1355 S. 8th st in noblesville) probably in the morning-ish and then Tabby Tree (9832 North by Northwest blvd  in Fishers)... then i'll head home and then saturday back to Mass ave Knits (862 Virginia ave, in indy)..that's all i have so far.. and i'll no doubt be ready to crash when this is all over!!

    but one more fun thing!..yesterday, my new friend, margaret wandered all over the shop..doing her yarn thing..then decided that Wayne was speaking to her..she decided to "splurge" and she bought her very first ever original work of art!!  i couldn't have been more pleased for her!! and for me!.. i always love it when a painting i've toiled over finds a good home!!  that's all i got for today!! lyb (love ya bye!!)
