Just for fun

This week I was privileged to take a class from the designer of Bloomin Minds patterns. She did a workshop for Cottonwood Quilters at a local hotel.  Her patterns are so fun.  I am still working on mine.  It's called Tweet, Tweet, Twitter. Picture is of my piece in progress.

Girl Scout artVenture project at Springfiled Artworks

Four girls are participating in the artVenture project at Springfield Artworks. The girls get an opportunity to work with an artist in designing and creating a project for a fund raiser at the University of Nebraska, Omaha on March 23 to benefit the local Girl Scouts.

The girls spent time designing and creating a needle felted beret and will be creating a felted flower for themselves using the same wool and yarn in the second session.

Valentines is coming

Busy making valentine hearts for your loved one.  I have etched mirrored ones, used crushed glass and fused it onto sheet glass....many, many things will be available first of February.  You have to come see us at Springfield Artworks.

Girl Scout Event

I am preparing for the Girl Scout Artventure at Springfield Artworks this Sunday.  Girls will be needle felting on a beret.  Should be fun.  More to come.

Great Day Today....motor coach tour from DesMoines,IA

We had great visitors today from Iowa.  It was a mystery trip for them.  Think they had a good time also. I really get into it when explaining about felting with wool.  I did a "dog and pony show" when I stepped on the bus before they came inside.  I took my olive oil soap, part of a wool fleece, tupperware seal, silk cacoon and silk hankies and explained what they would be encountering once they stepped inside.  I think they liked it.

Sooo excited to have April Kelly's work in our gallery

Yesterday, April Kelly brought two pieces to our gallery for exhibit and sale.  I love her work. Bright red, purple and lime green will be gracing our walls soon. We are pleased to represent this new artist in our gallery.  April is an author and recently retired Senior Vice President of LinkedIN.

GrowNebraska CEO visits our gallery and studio

Great visit with Janell Anderson Ehrke at the gallery and studio a couple of nights ago. Janell lives across the state and just has not been able to stop in until now.  It was great having her visit and share ideas.  Incidently, she loved our place. Janell snapped this shot of me in front of Kitt's lovely scarves and Sharons art quilts.
