Pretty Pink Friday

I had yarn just enough for one pink poinsettia on my Christmas latch hook rug skirt. I am enjoying this craft, one I haven't tried in decades. I have gone rogue on the kit pattern. I am combining 4 sets of thrifted rug yarn. 4 more red flowers to go and I can start the dark green background. 

Having a blast in my art class. Our newest technique to practice is No-Look Contouring aka Blind Contouring. This is an exercise where you practice drawing an object in one continuous line without looking at it. I chose to draw an abalone shell. There are a couple of tricks I discovered. You can use the free hand as a place marker. Best to draw the outline of the entire image and then circle back to add more detail. 

Seller update: I engaged in another sewing pattern listing session on eBay. These next two Pretty in Pink patterns are from the late 1980s. It reminds me of the dresses my daughter wore when she was growing up.
