Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

It's a stripy week here at the Northvanage, starting with the arrival of B's girlfriend from England.

She was given a difficult time at security upon departing from her first stop in Canada, with multiple scans of her hair and a thorough going over under each braid with explosives detection wipes. She's a creative one, this child, a costume designer and mermaid model by profession. Here's her tail, hiding her socks, striped of course.

My encounter with stripes balanced hers colourwise. This week I painted zebras:

My next project will be dog. Not striped, but who knows what could happen with all that young creativity floating around here.

    Lovely Painting, Li !!! I think you need to photograph the Mermaid and make a painting of her.
    How are those permits coming on your new home?

    I came to request a copy of your herringbone scarf, but also greatly enjoyed reading your blog so I’ll be back. The mermaid model is a lovely young lady but I’m sure her lengthy time in airport security will continue to happen each time she flies (sadly). The roast recipe sounds and looks delicious and will be coming soon to a slow cooker in my kitchen so thanks for that also!

    What a beautiful rainbow-haired mermaid! The zebras are an amazing study in stripes.

    love your zebras. Just gorgeous. I never met a mermaid model so I’m glad I stopped by.
