okay so it isn't exactly about yarn

I recently got a newsletter from living crafts magazine and as I followed the thread I came to this wonderful arts and craft website.D blumchen and company
The czech egg shaped beads, the crepe paper, the doilies, etc.  are all so creatively inspiring.  The glass beads would  be a beautiful embellishment to a knit or crochet piece.

This has been a fun weekend.  I went down to the Joseph Saxton Gallery Sat night.  They were showing avant garde films of the 20s and 30s with live band accompaniment.  I am going to have to look up the films so I can understand what I saw more but it was certainly a visual feast.  Besides, the gallery has wonderful  photographs.  I often find that things that are not exactly about the art and craft you do, can inspire you to do more with your passion.   I got to talk to one of the bands' members and I am always struck by how the positive creative energy from one thing can flow to another.  I am definitely feeling inspired today!

I also went to Art is Alive on Fri night.  Canton was a hot town this weekend!!
