Christmastime at Springfield Artworks

It's that time of the year again, holiday lights, family time, decorating (which I love) and Holiday demos at Springfield Artworks.  This year Omaha artists Glenn and Margie Trembley are showing how to make elegant Christmas bows and ornaments.  Glenn is also  making Hanukah ornaments for those who celebrate Hanukah.

 Love to shop, hate the crowds and long walks in the parking lot, take the short drive to Springfield and park at the door!

Omaha Spinners and Weavers Guild Sale Tomorrow

It will be a great sale...so many lovely things.  Come see us. I'll be there from 8:15-12:15 and then at Springfield Artworks.  A customer is coming for some roving.  She didn't know we sold felting supplies.  I need to get the word out.  Mega colors available of wool roving, plus tools, etc.

PS Glenn's piece for Columbia, South America is almost done...Yeh!

Todays a production day...scarves, purses, etc

Today I've been busy making a shawl/scarf and a purse. Shawl is done...will post front and back side photos. It's reversable. Turned out really well.

Big Day Tomorrow

Finally get my Christmas packages sent off tomorrow..... and it's the Desperate Husbands sale at Springfield ArtWorks. Guys get pizza as they shop from 5pm-7:30pm and free gift wrapping too! I can't wait to help them out. I remember the days when it was Christmas eve when the shopping was done for me......It's improved significantly.

Art makes great gifts.....both wearable art and functional glass art....

Bringing new hand dyed shirts to the gallery soon.

Yesterday and today were great days. I will have some new work in the gallery later in the week. Got 6 (only 6) hand dyed shirts that are lucious and several art quilts featuring wild animals. The quilts will look great next to the longhorn, herons and deer. It's exciting. Stop in after Thursday to see them.

Big day in Omaha tomorrow

Tomorrow is the big press day in Omaha. It's the annual shareholders meeting for Berkshire Hathaway. Lots of activity around town and discounts for shareholders at Nebraska Furniture Mart, Borsheims Jewelry,etc. Hope some of those shareholders make it out to Springfield to Springfield ArtWorks to check out the fine wearable art and glass art here. As always, Warren Buffett will be at his finest!

Finished Gray Scarf Today

Finished painting a gray silk scarf today. Removed the wax, washed it and now to the steamer to set the color and then to the dry cleaners. It should be beautiful.

Big Day Today

Glenn and I made a visit to the McClure farm to see all the new lambs. Great fun. The babies were so cute hopping around like bunnies. I got to hold a couple of the lambs and compare the feel of their wool. One was white and the other was black. Maybe some day I will get to purchase some of the wool from those lambs when they grow up.

I can then turn it into beautiful wearable art.
