Happy Friday!! From Renton, WA.
Sunny with clouds today, perfect temperature; not too hot, not too cold.
And I'm remembering to be thankful.
September 16, 2017 was Kaffe Facett's Colour Lecture at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington. I went and my husband went also without much bribing. He didn't faint but said he was a little light headed, too much perfume or something like that. There were other men there, what's the big deal?
It was inspiring and his slides were beautiful. We saw gorgeous photos of Ireland. There were slides of photos taken in market places, town squares, nature scenes; Kaffe gets inspiration everywhere and is good at documenting it. We learned from him that his next book, coming out next year, will be inspired by Pennsylvania and the Amish influence. Won't that be a wonderful book?
I enjoyed myself, my husband put on a good show of it. ( I didn't take many photos, the lighting wasn't great and they didn't want flashes all over, which I understand.)
The last few days I've been working violets and leaves on my Violet ABC sampler. I can feel the finish coming on. It's been a few years getting this far, whew. Slow Stitching!
Have a Happy Friday and a good weekend.
I'll be by to visit.
I know I've written before how much your sampler reminds me of my grandmother who also loved violets. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you were joined by your husband.
ReplyDeleteYour sampler is growing prettier for each stitch!
I'm sure the lecture was inspiring. The violets are very sweet!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the venue for the lecture was a perfect setting for both women and men. Our husbands might grouse about going to these things with us but I rather suspect they enjoy it. Love your sampler!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary Ann.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right about the husbands.
Men should definitely go to these things although if it was a ''selling event'' I would rather my husband wasn't there lol but a lecture, an exhibition definitely. I can imagine it was fascinating, love his work and his use of colour. I can see why you would love it too with your beautiful use of colour.
