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!

Busy November

This has been the month of garden events.  First I had items in the boutique at the Fine Art of Fiber at the Chicago Botanic Gardens...then it was a booth at the Omaha Lauritzen Gardens  at "Quilts in the Garden".  I had wearable art in my booth.  There are some great Omaha, Council Bluffs and surrounding area women walking around with some beautiful pieces around their neck, head or shoulders!

Tomorrow is the Omaha Weavers and Spinners Guild holiday sale at Westside Community Center.  I'll be there too with my own personal wearable creations....Previous attendees know to be there when it opens....Come see me, I'll be working that shift.  This is  a great event to pick up some outstanding gifts, both large and small.

While in Chicago I got to play catch up with my friend Jan and stayed with my friend Alice.  Always a fun time laughing and telling stories with her.

Made a rush trip to Champagne, IL to see the wonderful Indigo exhibit at the Krannert Art Museum (picture below)...would love to go back and take photos.....wasn't allowed while there but creator of the exhibit said I could...of course, after I had already returned home!

Stop by Springfield Artworks for our Platte River Christmas celebration.  Artist demoing today and tomorrow and starting the week after Thanksgiving.  Come see us...would love to help you start (or finish) your shopping.

Preparing for November events

It's been busy around the studio.  Glenn and I have both been working frantically preparing for the upcoming holiday season.  His new ornament tree is full and his Wild Animal pieces have kept him busy.  He has done a couple of commissions for companies using their logos.  He loves doing that.

I have been experimenting with a new dyeing process...working with silk only...results are fantastic....will surprise you some day with the luscious colors.  I can use them on my fascinator hats as well as shawls and scarves.  I think I could enjoy dyeing all day long.....love it.

A magazine contacted us about some info on our classes....That's exciting! Guests coming to shop tomorrow from Topeka Shriners. We look forward to having them.  Great weather for shopping!

The Latest plus New Exhibit Opens at Springfield Artworks

Can you tell I've been busy?  Haven't posted in a while.  Went on a fantastic trip to Arkansas. Gave a talk at the Regional SAQA meeting in Conway, Arkansas on Japanese Surface Design.  Great group of gals...and oh such talent!  Loved every minute of it...didn't want to leave...

Headed up to Mountain View, AR to enjoy the folk capital of the US.  Brought back many memories.  Dance weekend was the happening event and met up with a clogger who was one of the instructors.  She is from Springfield,MO and she was in Springfield,NE last year at Springfield Days....small world.

The Arkansas Ozarks are sooooo beautiful.

Also got to attend a football game in Sallisaw, OK where our grandson is the new band director...so proud!

Miss going to the Creative Felt  Gathering in Michigan this year...especially the opportunity to take a class from Andrea Graham from Canada.  Maybe I can catch up with her some other time.

Busy making pieces for the Handweavers and Spinners Guild show here in Omaha and the Lauritzen Gardens event in November.  Missed the deadline for the Chicago Botanic Gardens Fine Art of Fiber...maybe next year.  I would also like to have a couple of pieces in their Fashion Show.

New exhibit opened at the gallery yesterday. It runs through the end of Sept.  Great glass art, textiles and photographs.  Exhibit is entitled Wild Animals on Parade.  Check it out. Would love to have you visit.

Trembley days on TV

Today Glenn appeared on Omaha's Morning Blend with a sampling of his glass art and our daughter Dayna Trembley Hilton will appear in Salt Lake City during the 2012 Blog Paws Conference on a Salt Lake TV station. She will also appear on a second tv station tomorrow. (She is also up for a pet blogging award during the conference). Follow her and Tango, the fire safety dog on facebook.

Springfield Days

Springfield Days was a hugh success!  We both serve on the committee and this years theme was going Gaga in Springfield.  Springfield's claim to fame last year was the filming of the popular stars recent video. There was the parade which we participated in with Springfield Artworks

"float" being an authentic sheep wagon. Many events kept the town hopping. Of course Warrior Games were also being held down the road near Louisville.
