Allentown Art Museum |
I had to attend an artistic achievement award function for my job today.
The ceremony was held at Allentown Symphony Hall.
Unfortunately I was too busy to get a photo inside the Hall,
but the mural is on the back wall of the building.
Allentown is attempting an urban renewal, I hope they are able to succeed.
All pics are within a block of each other and are sadly devoid of people.
I'm battling second glove syndrome...must finish it this weekend.
My thoughts have drifted to sweaters...........................................

ReplyDeletesecond love syndrome! i think i have that too.

And you make me smile, dearest V. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the link, the sweater is beautiful. Much work ahead for you, your friend is very lucky! I LOVE handmade gifts too.
Two years ago I decided to make my family handmade quilts for Christmas (crazy, I know!) I completed 6, five foot square simple patchwork quilts in one year.
The quilting was done by hand and I had so many pin pricks on my fingers by December! Never could get used to wearing a thimble. But I knew that each piece would wrap my loved ones who live so far away for many years after.
When we wear/create handmade gifts it's like sending/receiving a hug.
The snow is readying the ground for your seeds to come!
sweet dreams xo
