Red Thread

 
Marrying into a family of artists, you have to have unflinching courage.  We scrutinize even the smallest of details on everything.  So really Olivia should be awarded some type of honor instead of me making her do a post on my blog.  She is an artist herself, so fits in really well.  I love Olivia because she is always happy and so kind.  Everyone loves Olivia.  In fact she might be the first person I would clone if I had such an ability.

Also, she's clever.  Just read her Red Thread book.  Then wait on pins and needles to hear from her again[!] later in the month.

  5. @Becky--I'm afraid it's one of a kind! Hop on over to Olivia's blog, though, to see if you can sweet talk her into selling it ;)

  8. O, K-T:

    I am flattered beyond belief at your kind words. And those of the comments! Thanks for making me feel like queen for a day!

    -O.K.



    And Becky—I think it would take an embarrassingly high amount to sell THIS one, but perhaps we could work out some sort of commissioned deal. ;) Email if you like: oliviation@gmail.com

  9. Oh! I love it!

    Katy, maybe it's better I didn't get into your family. I might have felt too much pressure to create and then I'd have caved.
    No - I'm sure I would have risen to the occasion. I'm sure of it.

  11. @Olivia--I think mass production might be your only solution.

    @Jennifer--Risen. Definitely risen.

    @Althea--It's people like you who make me want to do this!

  12. I am so inspired by your lovely blog and seeing my beautiful cousin on here today made me think of how I've been reading it for awhile now without ever commenting. So, thank you for the mounds of inspiration!
    p.s. your tribute to Olivia was perfection. She is so easy to love and very well-suited to the creative Knudsen family!
