On The 657th Day Of Christmas

Christmas should be everyday anyway. I signed up for a spinning workshop a few years ago and was instructed to bring either a contrasting spinning apron or light and dark colored pillow cases. I had to bring pillow cases. We used the color contrasts to help see what we were doing. It really did make a difference. I love painting people's sheep and thought maybe I would try to make and paint some actual spinning aprons for a few friends for Christmas. This one went to my friend Robin. She of course got Boudreaux, Petunia, Woolliam, Buddy, Rebecca Boone and Marcel. I completely stumped her with the gray lamb though. "Is this a new sheep you are planning to get this year?" "Uh, no. I didn't want Marcel to be lonely over there by himself." Painted sheep have feelings too! By the way, Marcel got 'tutered the other day, so he's coming home soon. I think he's had a pretty good time over at Tanglewood Farm ;-).

What a beautiful gift for Robin! The dark and ivory sides will definitely show the twist in contrasting yarn. It's a clever, very personalized idea. I am quite sure she will touched by your present especailly when she has it on her lap. ;-)

You have to know that I WANT one! Will you do custom orders? You have access to plenty of pictures of my sheep....

P.S.
you are evil!

Wonderful work, as always. You really must write and illustrate a book about Renny. (Her photo could be on the book jacket.)
