Monday we organized and rearranged furniture in the house
for a dinner party on Tuesday
Five golfers and their wives.
A natural dyed scrap stitched down because it was my friend Diane's birthday.
She's my natural dye and mark making companion.

Not a very creative week stitchwise
but we have scratched our way into December.
The year is nearly gone.
Goodness me
it is flying by.
For those of you in Ontario
my 'Rusty Gate'
is in the show 'Tradition in Transition' at The Joshua Creek Heritage Centre.
A show curated by Sandra Reford who has done a yeoman's job
taking the show to France and now to Oakville.
If you click on Sandra's name you will see her write-up about the opening
and over at Judy's journal you'll see more photos.
Have a nice day.

It may be flying by, but you will be able to look back on your scratchings and remember everything you've done!
ReplyDeleteI need all the help I can get in remembering nowadays!
DeleteI have thoroughly enjoyed your scratchings all year, Penny, and if I was only closer I would be dashing over to see that show! CONGRATS!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the show too...lots of great work in it.
DeleteThe year will soon be over for your scratchings - what will you do? The fiber show looks absolutely amazing -- what a feast for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteSome great work in that show.
DeleteAt the moment I plan to continue with the scratchings and wondering whether to change the format.
Hi, Penny. I had to zoom in as usual to catch all the details. Such an amazing project, and you're right. Where has the year gone? Well, you've got something to show for it! Have a happy holiday season!
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
And happy holidays to you too, Nadia.
DeleteI enjoy my daily scratchings so much, will probably continue.
Hi Penny, I am always so glad to read your blog on Mondays, a day I feel pretty stressed by. Your scratchings have been beautiful, entertaining and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your year. Laureen
ReplyDeleteSo glad you've enjoyed the scratchings...It has been quite a surprise to me at how much I enjoy doing them. Never was any good at writing a journal! Oh, those Mondays...the start of a new work week...I remember the feeling.
DeleteI too am wondering what will happen next - will you carry your scratchings over into 2013? I, for one, hope so. Wish I was able to get to Oakville...
ReplyDeleteYes, I intend carrying on. One day I will have a show about them hopefully. Next year I think I will have a sketchbook with notations to go along with the scratchings.
Deletehow lovely to have this show returning to n.a., the last stop? it's grand to be in strong (and traveling!) fiber shows.
ReplyDeleteYes, last stop. Some lovely work in the show. hopefully rusty gate will be back home soon.
DeleteCongratulations on having Rusty Gate exhibited in France & Oakville. How exciting!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the rusty gate! Will there be a ceremony of sorts at years end of scratchings?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Penny, your piece looks great. How exciting to show your own work in public (it takes a lot of courage, too!)
