Omaha Fashion Week is fast approaching

Rushing around, final touches on hats and gracious help from my daughter Dayna... My models walk the runway sporting my hats in less than 2 Weeks. Stay tuned.

What a week

Omaha Fashion Week is all week. My hats will be modeled tomorrow from 6- 7:30ish. Springfield Artworks will also have a retail booth with items brought in just for this event. We will have a special trunk show at the gallery Friday from noon til 4 and Saturday from 11-4. You don't want to miss this opportunity. Come on put and say hi. Just 6 miles south of Cracker 

 Barrel on I-80 and left on Main St , Springfield.

OFW is next week

Busy, busy, busy making final preparations for the big event. My felted fascinator hats will be modeled by eight lovely young women on Aug 22at 6pm. On Tues Aug 20th I'll be in the Omaha Morning Blend show with Andee Hoig of Metro Magazine and Spirit of Omaha Magazine. The recording of that segment should be available on past shows on their site after Tuesday. Ck it out.

A big thanks goes out to Rick and David and Lanie and Nikki plus all those who are helping me that day with set up of my booth, model assistance, etc... Thanks much! Also a big thanks to Brook, Alyssa, Nick, Meghann, Ali and Kylie. Luv u!

Continuing on my hat venture

I am continuing my hat completion process. I thought I was almost done but the last three accessories are slowing me down a bit. I should hear if I get the models I requested today...fingers crossed.

We decided to be open yesterday at Springfield Artworks for part of the day. Someone immediately walked over to Helen Gloeb's acrylic bird paintings and just had to have it for her son's room. Lucky girl. Helen's birds are fantastic. We still have four so if you know anyone interested we can send them right out... We do ship! Just call at 402-301-9162 and we will take care of all the details.

Darcy Berg has reduced her wonderful mini art quilt entitled "Black Birds I". If you want, we might also be able to get Blackbirds II for your collection as well.

If you want to have some good quality family fun, Glenn is teaching his glass fusing classes all summer. Don't miss this opportunity.

Model Request In

Today was a fun day. I submitted my model selections to the model management folks for Omaha Fashion Week. Now it is just wait and see if I get who I wanted. Thanks goes to Lani Bresler for assisting me with so many things.

Got a nice thank you note from my hat instructor thanking me for thanking her! Great gal!

I have a big long list of additional classes I want to take....derby hats in my future? Will see.

My greatest hat ever will be on its lovely owner this weekend for her special event....can hardly wait to get pictures. Hope her great looks and her special hat knocks everyone's socks off so to speak.

Her Mom will look fabulous too.

I have been busy creating fascinator hats for Omaha Fashion Week.....fun, fun.....Last night was the final Model call for potential models for the event in August.  My pieces will be modeled by 8 models during the VIP reception and at the reception area on Thursday, August 22.  It's exciting!  I am learning a lot about preparing for this large event.  Tomorrow evening I meet with the interviewers to discuss my progress with the hats....The designers are divided into teams and we will all be in the discussion together..It will be a great learning experience I am sure.  This is my first time to particpate in such an event....Wish me luck!
