Art Unraveled and More
The past few weeks have been filled with art and friends. The annual Art Unraveled mixed-media art retreat was here in Phoenix. Linda Young always does a fabulous retreat here in town. She pays so much attention to detail and I know how happy the instructors are, as well as the students. Each year since [...]
Post-Art Unraveled
Wow! What a week! Art Unraveled 2008 is officially over. And while I had a lovely time and I did my best to watch my energy levels, I’m exhausted. No surprise after 12 days of friends, art, and shopping! It was well worth the time and energy. I had a lovely time seeing so many [...]
Art Unraveled – Part 2
Yesterday I took a very good class with Barbara Roth called, “Creating Whimsical Watercolor Compositions”. It was a relaxing environment, with just five students and the instructor in a nice intimate classroom. In the morning we did a directed exercise. We went through all the steps together and started off with the same basic drawing [...]
Art Unraveled Day 1
Yesterday was my first class at Art Unraveled. I’m only taking a few classes so I can recuperate between classes and I don’t end up completely exhausted. Yesterday’s class was Two Art Quilts Two with Jane LaFazio. Angie, Joanne and I all took it together, which was a nice surprise! It was a great way [...]
Joanne is in town
Joanne is in town! She arrived safely from Michigan yesterday and called me for our evening together. Joanne is such a loving soul. I really enjoy spending time talking with her, sharing with her, and just being in the same room as her. It’s a lovely, relaxing and natural friendship. I’m blessed to have friends [...]
A busy week
Wow. I started writing this on Friday and it’s Saturday… Oh, well!
And it’s August! Sheesh! Where did the summer go? This weekend is the kick-off of Art Unraveled and Joanne is in town. I’m heading out to see her in a while. It seems like just a few weeks ago I was meeting Joanne in [...]
Finally rejuvenated from Art Unraveled!
Most of this week has been spent recuperating from Art Unraveled. As Angie said to me on the phone the other day, I borrowed spoons from everywhere for this event! But I had a ball. It was great to connect with friends from last year, to re-connect with people who I only see at classes, [...]
Rocks, Retreats and Friends
I’ve been nominated as a Rockin’ Girl Blogger by Joanne Thieme Huffman, Christy Grant, and Monique! It’s so much fun to put that hot pink banner here on my blog! Now, of course, I need to choose five other Rockin’ Girl Bloggers. Most of my blogging friends have already been chosen for this [...]
All is well
I so appreciate all the emails and well-wishes you have all sent. This month’s treatment was not so bad (don’t say it too loudly, though!). I have been in the studio since Tuesday, but I have not had a chance to update. I am tired, but not nearly as tired and fatigued as I was [...]
More sewing, friends, and more!
Well, I am in love. My new Pfaff is JUST AMAZING! I even went out and bought a case at JoAnn’s at half-price, because I know I can’t take Katie Kendrick’s class at Art Unraveled in two weeks without the NICE machine. I can’t believe I planned to go with the other machine. I don’t [...]
