Another piece for Charity

This is Growth II. It is the second in a series I've been working on. I rather like this. I've been contacted to submit a small piece for a charity auction for a toddler in Kearney, Ne fighting a dangerous lung condition. This is the piece I will send.
Sounds like his family has a fight on their hands and I am only too happy to help. I hope it brings in a lot of money for the cause.


And to be fair, here is the picture of DD and her SO John with their baby, Reese. He is my first grandog and I love him too.

My New Baby Boy

Well he's not as new as all that. Zeus is 18 weeks old and growing alot everyday. He joins his big sister,Skye, short for Blue Skye who is almost 7 years old and the constant companion of my DH. I was lonely around the house without Duke, who we lost last spring at the age of 15. He was my Christmas gift, and I adore him.


He has a friend in my son's new puppy, Derby. He is a beautiful black lab with excellent hunting lines and lots of energy.

Fiberart for a Cause-Collage Mania

This is my entry for the Collage Mania, hosted by Virginia Spiegel through Fiberart For A Cause. See the others here:
Bidding begins in May.

It is entitled "Growth" and honors my father in law, Jim Baldwin who passed away 4 years ago this April from skin cancer. He was always planting "seeds" among his children and grandchildren that are only now sprouting. Thanks Grandad!

6 Months later

Well.....many things have changed in the last six months.

My MIL has been diagnosed with ALS, Lou Gehrig's Disease. We have a new puppy, long haired german shephard boy named Zeus. He will be HUGE and I just adore him. My niece is to be married in June and wedding plans for my son are in full swing.

Busy with many new ideas for the wet studio that will be finished this spring out in our storage building near my husbands office. I will be working at the studio in the morning and for him in the afternoons, when they need me. Can't wait to get it finished.

This new chance to get my hands dirty will facilitate my development of my new classes. I've been asked to teach a sewing class...whatever that means. don't know whether I want to or not yet. Need to spend more time in my our studio first.

This years goals are in writing for the fist time so maybe I will be better at reaching some of the. I'm so easily distracted right now. I purchased two books on organization for the creative brain. This should help.

Working on taxes is next.
