Mary Fitzgerald was waiting outside our shop yesterday when Kel and I arrived to work shortly after 8 am with coffee in hand. We had a lot of paperwork to get caught up on from the trade show, and we knew that there were already boxes waiting for us. She was leaning over this hilariously painted car and working on something. At first, I thought she was writing me a ticket and then I realized that I knew her!

It turns out that she was working on a painting…one that she brought into the shop shortly after we opened at 10 am and handed off to me! It is the most amazing thing ever. Really…so amazing. I have already rushed it over to our framer up the street to be framed for my new house (which we move into on Sunday!) 
Really, I have met the most amazing people through this shop. You all seem to have some secret hidden ability to that find out about after a few visits.
You can find Mary on facebook here.

LOVE the hand-painted picture of Fibre Space!!! You must scan it to make gift cards for us to include with our hand-knit items from the lovely yarn for the shop!
Absolutely Fabulous Picture – Love It!!

Not only do Ilove Kristine’s comments about gift cards of your new picture – I think you should put it on a Fall tee shirt/sweatshirt, etc. so we’ll all be able to stay warm after Labor Day as we start our Christmas gift knitting!

I just recently told a WaPo reporter that Danielle is a great connection to cultivate because she has such a great knowledge of so many interesting crafty folks with special talents.
My special secret hidden ability is that I control the weather. Tell no one.

Danielle, I had no idea that you posted this!! Thank you for the props! I am now famous, I’ll have you know… this afternoon, a lady in the next lane over rolled down her window and gestured to me. I was expecting a comment on the car (which happens from time to time), but she told me that she loved the painting I did of Fibre Space! I was, like, ‘Whaaa? How did you know…” “She posted it on her website, and I recognized the car!”
Awe. Some. It SO made my day!

Beautiful work. Love the idea of using the picture on cards and a t-shirt. I’m in!
