The Knitting Tree

I was taking a walk around my neighborhood and stopped in my tracks when I saw this 

How did this happen? I assume the artist actually knitted this directly onto the tree, and can only imagine how long it took. We live in a neighborhood that is filled with creative individuals: symphony musicians, university professors and painters - and this is one more happy example. Seeing this brought such a smile to my face, and made me think of my friend Lori, who is a master knitter. The world is filled with imaginative, inspired and talented folks, and it is a joy to see the beauty they bring to our planet. 

Wishing you all a healthy, joyous and blessed New Year and may your desires for creative potential be fulfilled in 2014♡
