I’m a big fan of Yokoo’s knit necklaces, so I was amazed when she agreed to offer a lucky reader one of her superfun creations! Pictured is the Dookie chain in Oatmeal, and it’s ABSOLUTELY adorable up close. I can’t wait for you to see it!

I had to title this post ‘Eek!’ for two reasons:

1. That was my honest reaction when I received this work, and
2. Not Your Grandma’s Needlepoint wouldn’t fit the subject line.

This piece is titled ‘Still Life With Carmen Miranda.’ Ha. I love funny.

Miranda sent me a link to her lovely new work and I now have a total girl crush on everyone with the name Miranda. Watch out, girls.

Oh my goodness. I have no words. None at all.

WOW.

OK I do have some words. This could be my favorite piece of 2009 thus far. I’m thinking yes… yes it is.

One day soon, I’m going to install a portrait wall in my home and frame beautiful portrait photographs of people I’ve never met, just to remind myself that the world is big and bright.

Definitely adding Vinna’s work to my wall.
