Tonight, I saw Breakfast at Tiffany's at the Brattle with Julia and Kate. Julia illustrated this book on Audrey Hepburn, which is officially out January 25th. I can't wait! On our way there, we admired the windows of Anthropologie, and I fell in love with this room installation. I think it would be my dream reading corner. Though I have seen Breakfast at Tiffany's millions of times, this was my first time seeing it in a theater. I noticed so many things that I never have before, like that Holly keeps her lipstick and perfume in her apartment mailbox. (I notice new things every time I watch this movie, though, even on my little TV screen! There are so many beautiful details.) "I have a strange feeling that the blueprints and my knitting instructions got switched. It's not impossible I'm knitting a ranch house." On the way home, I stopped at the corner market since I had no food in my apartment and we are having a snow day tomorrow! I love snowed-in days. I got soup, bread, and nutella. :) I plan to spend the day painting, watching movies, and eating lots of nutella. I hope you all have a beautiful wednesday! xoxo Amanda
Twist this cardigan your way! Make it into an infinity scarf cardigan or twist it at the front waist. You can also tie it or add hook/eye closures if you want it to lay more smoothly. By selecting a lightweight knit, you will achieve a very elegant drape for the infinity or twist. The drape helps slenderize the silhouette, meaning this attractive top will be a great addition to your wardrobe.

This whole Fringe Hatalong Series idea was a good one, I can already tell. I finished my lovely Audrey hat — my third FO for the year — and feel confident it would not have happened had I not invited you all to knit along with me. I would have gotten sucked into the next […]

I LOVE saving figurative language until June - it's such a fun language unit ... and perfect for our "dreaming of summer brains". We finished up our EQAO testing mid week, and this onomatopoeia activity was the perfect break from testing. How fun is that??? Students chose two contrasting colours - one for the background and one for the word and border "bursting out of the page". They also needed newspaper (cut just a fraction smaller that the "bursting out of the page border" and glued the newspaper on top. They glued their word on top of that (we had brainstormed a lot of onomatopoeia words, but for some reason most of them chose SPLAT for their word). I also had them do a little shading under their letters for that little extra POP (see, I know some onomatopoeia words, too). ;) I had seen this awesome idea on Pinterest and followed it back to Artisan des Arts. Her examples are FANTASTIC!! We also wrote simile poems this week. I found a little template HERE for the students to use for their rough copies. When students were finished their templates, I had them write out their good copies, and illustrate a few lines with a small image. I hung these up, too ... LOVING our bulletin board switch up ... even this late in the school year!!! (I have two of these "smART class" bulletin boards side by side in the classroom. 15 more school days left ... I think I can ... I think I can ... Happy Friday!!!

A few new books I finally got around to photographing. They are in my Etsy shop right now. I have some special orders to finish so I probably won't have any new items to show for a few weeks. But I will be posting some photos of the special orders. I also have a Dollhouse Miniature article and an American Miniaturist article to show off in the next few days:-) erickav.com Group photo of all the open books A few of my "hidden potion" books above and below. ABOVE: This was a special order MSD Dolfie sized book that I made. I am proud of how it turned out. Above: Leonardo da Vinci open books. Two of these are special order with a "flying craft" theme. They will be going to a museum in Argentina. Hope to have some photos of that. Above and Below: some of my gold detailed or "Illuminated" medieval books.

FRIENDS OF THE HOUSE · Knitting the Ocean - “It’s so hard to explain because on land…there’s nothing that is like it. Because you feel weightless… you can’t hear anything besides your own breathing,” says Erik Speer when describing scuba diving. “So many senses are taken away from you, but then you are just inundated with...new experiences and visions.”
