Catching Up

Just returned from Arkansas to see my grandson perform in his Master's Degree recital.  Never knew so many sounds could come out of a tuba.  As always, I was very proud of Michael. His great-grandmother got him started in music when she sat down with him at her organ. Love how it all turned out....now to the gallery.  Should have two packages waiting for me today.  One, some Kakishibu for my new classes as well as stencil paper...can hardly wait to open the pkg...also awaiting pkg from Europe with felting tools....they should be here too.  Stop by to see the latest....and sign up for classes! Have special running on Laura's scarves today only. Get free small felted item if you buy one of Laura's scarves today....orange, blue, etc...lovely.

Back in the Swing of Things

After an incredible Thanksgiving with family at the White River in Arkansas (the trout capitol of the US), I am finally back in the swing of things. While in Arkansas, we got to visit a cutting horse arena and see our son and grandsons ride around the arena....loved it.Thanksgiving dinner was fantastic....a nice long car ride into the countryside, but definately worth it. Found a new source for finished pieces....You'll have to ck them out....very colorful.

I packed up the trunk show today.....sorry to see it go. Everyone loved the work of Rona and Kay. We still have ooodles and oodles of handmade art of all sizes, shapes and prices....hurry in while the selection is good.

Kay Kaduce and Rona Horn classes at Springfield ArtWorks Nov 4,5,6

I have posted some pics of the vessel, scarf and potential jewelry pieces that we will be making in our Nov 4,5 classes at the gallery. You can start signing up later next week when full pricing info will be out. Better make a quick trip to the gallery for this. Spaces should fill up fast as these instructors classes are always delightful.. You may already have their books in your stash. We will also be having a trunk show of their work the last week in October. There are a couple of purses that they made in the gallery now....so come on out.

Planning Christmas ornaments out of felt

I am working on some wonderful felted Christmas ornaments that I plan on displaying during and prior to the holidays. They will be "magical". Watch for them.
