Welcome to the creative home of artist and maker Charlotte Lyons.
All in stitching
I'm listening to the Canada geese flutter and honk out back on the mill pond. They are making their plans to share the water, the air, the shore. Won't be long before the season changes again. Up here in the studio, I feel it too.
Wishing you all a happy new year! I just updated my sidebar date and cannot believe this is year 12 for the blog!
Summer is going to be colorful and fun in Vermont! We are hosting a painting workshop with August Wren over the weekend of June 21-24. Jennifer Orkin Lewis is the noted illustrator known as August Wren.
We're seeing spring in fits and spurts. Super warm, then blustery cold. But it is of course, very exciting and beautiful to see everything greening up.
I had a chat with a new friend yesterday about social media and its place in our lives.
Watching this little guy grow up so fast is an inspiration to make more of the time I have for making. So far this year, I have finished stitching the West End sampler I designed awhile ago.
December days rush past quicker than we can keep up. I've lost all track of a timeline to share with you here, but little Vince keeps it real for us. All the changes in his first year!
In September, Meleen and I hosted another pair of super-fun crafty getaways in Vermont. Both weekends were spectacular!
I'm still getting the hang of this new place. Every once in awhile I uncover the top layer of a basket full of things I squirreled away in here and find that there is actually something wonderful inside.
This has been a busy spring and summer for me. Our house sold, I downsized and moved after an enormous tag sale a few weeks ago. (!!!)
Spring isn't exactly rushing in here. Like everyone else, we've had a lot of snow. Something like 52 inches total this year.
