I am excited to announce that I was chosen to be one of the twelve Colorado artists featured in the first Colorado Craft Calendar! My needle felted dragons and seeahorses are featured in the month of April. Each month of the calendar has beautiful photographs of arts and crafts made by Colorado artists and lists the dates of craft shows and events.

Happy New Year’s Eve!

From start to finish December has been a crazy month. At work there was decorating, and I served nine holiday teas and organized a Holiday evening event. The whole month has been a blur of baking, birthday parties, serving teas, teaching classes, making and wrapping gifts, sending cards, cooking, cleaning, decorating and having company over. In the midst of the holiday chaos I spent most of the month without a car, because my glass was vandalized while I was parked at a holiday parade. Getting that fixed was a tedious ordeal, and slightly unbelievable. Right after my car glass was replaced the new glass literally exploded in my garage. It was completely obliterated, and I was once again without a car!

I really attempted to make all of my gifts this year. I thought it would be a good way to make use of some of the crafting supplies that have taken over the house. I made three Japanese Temari balls, several needle felted dragons, three tatted dragons, and a crocheted hat. I also made twelve jars of orange juice jelly.
