Home safe: neighborly encounter

    My neighbor Jean collects our newspapers and mail whenever we buzz to NYC. I dropped by to treat her with a bottle bag from MOMA and noticed some cross-stitch that seemed from the past.  She said Anna her daughter had started it years ago (a UFO, unfinished object) and was completing it now. (click photos to enlarge)

   Years ago I did a large painting of Anna using Alice in Wonderland imagery that I like a lot. I thought I would share. Since the painting is so long, I pieced the image together here w two photos. Oh! I should go over to rephotograph with my newer better camera :*).

         




Jean liked that bottle bag so much I wondered if I should try knitting one that I had seen. So handy for trips to our restaurants where one has to bring one's own drink. What fun it is to have another crafter in the neighborhood. If it were mine, I would tack up Anna's cross-stitch in its  embroidery hoop right next to my computer to enjoy every day!
