I am soooo busy!

Queen of Arts is fast approaching....Mark your calendars and pray for sun!

I am working on some new things. I have been working on lots of small works...including more Birdman pieces.

I am also taking a free motion online sewing class from Danita in Juarez, Mexico. I love it! I had to get a new foot for my machine but it is really fun to do free motion. Here is a test piece...

Madison is so fun right now. She is playing with her toys more by herself. Having them have conversations with each other and making up songs about things like mac and cheese...She has definite ideas about what she want to wear....daycare says they see this all the time....Not too crazy about anything too scary and likes to shop....Her fave movie is still Cars.....so fun!

stuff...

I have been playing with beads lately...I love mixing them up.....kinda addictive.....


Earl and I went pumpkin hunting with Jill and Madison at the Avila Farm...What a great place. I was pretty packed but still a fun day.


Here is some artwork going on at the studio...Jill with her jewelry and Madison with her coloring. Jill will be in the Queen of Arts show with me this year. She has some of her jill-0 jewelry and some fantastic journals.

I better tell you alittle bit more info...
Queen of Arts is Veteran's weekend at the Elverhoj Museum in Solvang. Fri Nov 12 4 to 7 and Sat. Nov. 13 10 to 5. There are right under 40 artists. It is a beautiful venue and a vary wide variety of art. I will post the post card image soon. I started this show at my house in Ballard and then for the last 3 years it has been at the museum. If you are anywhere near Solvang at that time come check out all the great art!
