Friday, June 17th will be the Westford Relay for Life event so this is a last opportunity for anyone who wishes to do so to donate. This is the first year for our team to participate and we are still far from meeting our team goal of $2000. Thanks again to everyone who’s already donated!

Yesterday afternoon Jason and I went photo-printer shopping and came home with the cannon he’d picked out. It’s a Canon Pixma ip8500 and has 8 colors of ink. There I am posing for a test shot to print on it- the Fair Isle bag helped give a good range of colors. The sales guy says oranges are hard to get and will show how much better this printer is than others. We’ve been printing on a more general purpose printer and the pictures come out looking fairly pixelated. They look just like film prints with this fancy new printer.

And here’s the next Sophie on the needles.  She may be a gift or I might keep her myself, I haven’t decided yet. I think I have enough to do two of them like this though so perhaps I’ll keep one and make another as a gift. She’ll have two pink stripes and the rest will be charcoal grey. I have some nice rose fabric that I plan to try to use as applique after felting.
