hand eye crafts

Thank you all SO much for your input on my business. . .  plan?  dream?  outline?  Your suggestions were remarkable.

There is an Athens Area Knitters Group on Ravelry that I suppose I should poll, as far as interest at all, and then suggestions for the most convenient location, etc.  I’m filling up a legal pad with ideas and possibilites — we’ll see how far I can take this!

Hannah had her Senior portraits made this afternoon.  How can my baby girl be a Senior?  They did the regulation black drape (more on that in a minute), then allowed her to dress/accessorize any way she wanted to personalize.  Of course, she wanted to pose with Rupert.

Now, as has been oft-alluded-to here, Rupert isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer on a regular day.  But a portrait sitting?  He never has gotten the hang of looking at you when you say his name, so you can imagine how things went down.  Still, it was a tremendous amount of fun, and I’m already anxious to see the proofs next week.

My high school portrait was in a white lace drape/wrap.  All the girls wore white lace.  The guys wore whatever they chose (not the regulation false tuxedos Briton donned.)  I was telling the photographer about that this afternoon, and she seemed genuinely astonished.  Never known of any color but black, she said.  Which set me to thinking, and I realized, I’ve never seen anything but black myself.  Was my high school that revolutionary?
