Quotables: Albert Einstein

"The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind."

Happy Presidents' Day!

They don't make 'em like they used to...

Happy President's Day.

Prints and greeting cards of these original collages featuring quotes by two of our greatest presidents are available in my Etsy shop. 

Hey, hey, we're the monkeys...

I've been in hat-making mode as of late... so much so that I've developed a slight case of tendinitis in my hands! Now that I've finished up a few projects, I think a little rest is in order... 

My latest project: another sock monkey hat for yet another little niece, due any day now...

 and this little monkey will be ready to keep her head warm! 

I used this pattern, which I bought off Ravelry. 

I slightly modified the flower from the original pattern. I made it smaller than called for, and I placed it on the top like the pompom, rather than on the front brim... I liked it better that way. 

If you'd like to "friend" me on Ravelry, here's my profile. 

And now, back to painting...
