A New Project... and it does not involve illustration!

Off and on over the years I have knitted. I have never gotten much beyond making a long, long scarf using the same 1-2 stitches. When Isaiah was a baby I discovered a yarn store a few blocks from my home in Evanston. The owner offered classes. I decided that I was going to knit Isaiah a sweater. I got about 1/4 of the way through the project and have not touched it since. That was about 9 years ago. I am at again. I have joined a knitting group at the local library. Yesterday I discovered a magainze called Knit Simple and found the cutest little sweater to knit. Supposedly it is a relatively easy. I plan to knit a sweater for a Christmas gift. Wish me luck that I will actually finish it!

I recently was introduced to a business networking group called eWomenNetwork. The purpose of the group is to meet business contacts who provide "warm" introductions to other individuals and businesses who might want to do business with you. Instead of making cold calls, you get warm introductions, increasing the likelihood that the contact will turn into a productive relationship.

After the first meeting I attended, I ended up with a new client, a photography business called "A Portrait Boutique" based in Plainfield, Illinois. The client wanted a unique set of note cards to use for correspondence to her photography customers. I created an illustration of a photographer holding a camera. I selected a few features from the client to highlight in the illustration: dark, curly hair; eyeglasses; burgundy polo shirt.

I really enjoyed this project.
