As my mentor said to me “it’s always good to know you did a bit of good in the world.” So if you’re reading this - keep doing your bit of good. You never know who needs it or when it will come back to you.

Finished hooking now I need to do the finishing. Accidentally caught it on the gripper strips and had to do some repairs.

Black and grey rug hooked chevrons with some colour woven in. Top left a patch in colours that resemble sunrise and to the right a bright orange circle. Green clips around the outside hid the edges down.

Are You Ready???

#ArtAdventCalendar
#ArtAdventCalendar Guidelines Art can be almost anything. Paintings, drawings, sculpture, textiles, beading, photography, digital. If you think it's art and it beautifies the timeline then post it. No NFTs or Al art please PLEASE USE ALT TEXT It does not matter if you "posted it last year". You don't need to be a "professional" artist. If you make art at any experience level and want to show it off and make others happy, this is the event Art must be original and it must be yours or from a family member with permission. Please don’t post works from other artists, old masters etc Art does NOT have to be seasonal. It can be pretty much any subject, but please keep it family friendly-ish Please don't cross post with just links to other platforms. Most links to other social media sites don't show with images at all and if they do they are usually thumbnails Please do not post prices or use BUY NOW kinds of posts. We are bombarded with hard sell at this time of year and that's not what this is about. This is not meant to be a sales pitch. You can post links to your website if you like Please share posts and follow participating artists. This is both an exercise to build a following of art lovers and to build a supportive community of fellow artists. If you like someone else's work, let them know! As "organizer" I do my best to share all art during the month but if I miss a post, please don't take it as an insult or commentary on your work. There are a lot of posts and I will miss a few. Note that I won't share posts that contain prices or buy now content Post daily or as much as you can with the hashtag #ArtAdvent Calendar There is no specified time to post. It's a worldwide event so time you post isn't that important Don't worry if you miss a day or two. Post even if you only have 1 thing to show off that makes the timeline brighter While the event dates are the 1st to the 24th, feel free to continue to post until the end of the month if you like

If you are stuck on what to buy people for gifts, local art is the answer.

Rudi is shouting at me. Is it because he's been fed but the food could've been better? Been fed but not enough? Or just that we're awake and that means the food situation may improve?

Caturday naps. Rudi squished himself right up against Eddie so that she had to snuggle him.
2 tabby cats snuggled together. One cat has a large red fabric star resting on his belly

Did you know that Elf has a lot of Canadian connections?
The Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver became the North Pole, a haunted hospital in Coquitlam was used for interior sets and even the famous Buddy burp was Canadian!
This is the story of Elf and Canada!

Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf stands with hands on hips, wearing a bright green elf costume with yellow trim, white fur cuffs and collar, black belt with gold buckle, and green elf hat with red feather. Light blue background with scattered white snowflakes.

We've laughed, we've cried, we laughed some more until we cried. Shared memories, looked at photos, drank cocktails and wine, eaten good food. I really needed this couple of days.
