The Gift of Handmade

 Met my friend Susanna at her place today -- we won't be doing our usual Tuesday meet-ups since all restaurants, cafes and coffee shops are closed during the day for the month of Ramadan.

I took her the canvases and art supplies I found dumped on Friday -- her husband is an art professor at the university just across from where they live.  I previously posted a substation he painted and below is a collage of the walls he completed not long ago that are along a parking lot between the university and an elementary school.
So bold and eye-catching.

Susanna surprised me with a belated birthday gift --
a handmade jacket, patched together from lots of different patterned fabrics.
We had coffee along with homemade vegan banana muffins that were quite tasty.
And she showed off her knitted blanket made from scrap yarn.
A wonderful and colorful Monday morning.
Have a good week.

Wow! What an incredibly beautiful blanket!
Your jacket is also a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
Happy belated birthday, Tammy.

Sounds like a wonderful day. It is good to hear that the art supplies that you found will go to good use too. The jacket is gorgeous as is the afghan. I wish you a wonderful day. Hugs.

I love the geometric murals; the blanket and your birthday jacket! What a great day!
