Signed Pattern on E-Bay
Google Alerts informs me that someone is selling a signed Portraits of the Wild Life pattern on e-bay. Signed, mind you, by both me and Mike, no doubt during our Live Trunk Show Tour, since signing is not something we routinely do. That’s two signatures. Of course, this makes the pattern more […]
TNNA Is Fast Approaching
My attention is finally focused on preparations for the TNNA NeedleArts Market which begins on May 31. This is a wholesale trade show. We’re not exhibiting this year, but I’m teaching 2 classes, will have a teacher display, and will walk the show to see what’s new and to network. Well, I’ll […]
First School Visit
I had my first school visit this week at Havre de Grace Elementary School. I wrote about it over at the Six Writers, One Story blog if you’re interested.
Kids Are Great!
Well, I had fun! It seemed the kids did, too. I look forward to feedback from the teachers to see how I can improve the presentation, and then I look forward to doing it again and again.

New Class Taking Shape
I think I’ve settled on a design for a new online class. I’m so excited! I’m saving a couple of the early attempts so that I can share them here. The first completed model is just plain ugly, even after much ripping and re-stitching. It’s kind of amazing that I saw […]
Oops!
I fell off the blogging horse…or something. The fact is, I’m terribly busy and have let many things slide, including posting to this blog. I’m climbing back up on the horse now, although I’m not making any promises!
I’m in MD now, preparing for a school visit to Havre de Grace Elementary and the […]So Much To Share…
So little time.
Eight hours on the road. Wonderful! Running errands, heavy traffic, city driving–yuk. Long open roads–yum!
I love watching the scenery, and getting lost in my own thoughts. I love a warm breeze through open windows, and rain pounding on the windshield. I love doing just one thing, with no […]
