Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving--already!  Where has the year gone?!  I'm always amazed how quickly time passes, whether it's happy days or incredibly slow difficult days that one wishes would pass quickly.  Today is a day to enjoy family, food, and no pressure or stress.  No presents or expectations. 

This year I'm looking forward to a day with my whole family.  Chatting and relaxing and eating.  My sister and her family have traveled to Maine for the holiday and we'll gather at my parents house where the familiar smells of Thanksgiving will waft through the air.  I'm so very thankful for all of them.  And my family of friends, I will be thinking of you too--enjoying your time--I'm grateful for each and every one of you.

I'm thankful for my good health and feeling well and pass on this energy to all who need some.  I'm thankful for my craft which is turning into quite a career--I love it!  I'm thankful for warm wood stoves and my fuzzy four legged family; a roof over my head (despite the cracks) and flannel pjs. 

The list can go on and on.  I will focus on carrying this feeling with me throughout the whole year. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sunday Sewing

I spent most of last weekend in my studio creating, but Sunday, I took the day off to go sewing with a good friend.  What could be better than spending a day drinking tea and chatting over biscotti?  It's hard to believe that it's the middle of November already!  And it's list making time.  Lists of who, what, where and when--prepping for holiday gifts and events, and trying to figure out what I can make for everyone on that list.   Photos of the sewing will come soon.

In the meantime, please join me Friday, November 22nd through Sunday, November 24th, for the ArtFull Gifts Show at Point Lookout in Northport, ME.  I'll be there with bells on! and lots of flowers, pearls, and reticulated jewelry!

Shows in November and December

I just participated in The Maine Crafts Guild show at the Maine State Museum.  It was a small show, but full of amazing artists.  Thank you to all who came, admired, and purchased!

Next up, The Gifted Hand show in Ellsworth:

And then after that, ArtFull Gifts show in Northport:

And perhaps most important, SAVE THE DATE: Sunday, December 1, for the third annual open studio trunk show, held at Mom's house in East Boothbay--10 am-4 pm. 
Hope to see you!
