Sunday - Downtown Allentown





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...........................................

  2. And you make me smile, dearest V. :)

    Thanks 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
