Chicago Classes... here I come!!

>> March 11, 2013 – ANG, classes, new needlepoint, travel

Chicago, what a town! Reid is from Chicago and I promised him that I'd do my best to get us there for ANG Seminar 2014... so here we come!

I will be teaching three classes at Seminar, (provided you guys sign up!):

(1) My Color Class. THREE days! I'm thrilled that the committee picked this class up and will be giving me three days of amazing color exploration. I must put all humility aside and tell you that if you have not taken a color class with me, or if you have and need more, this is the class to take!!

(2) Samburu, a two day class on making this beautiful piece of jewelry. It will be offered in a few color choices so if you want to suggest some color combinations, now is the time.

(3) The Village I Built, a two day class for this piece done on silk gauze. It's a real charmer in person and although only 4.5"x2.5", it packs a punch!

Let me know your requests for Samburu colorways and if I get enough requests, maybe I'll even do another colorway for The Village I Built, (go on, tempt me...)

Have a great week!!

This made my day very profound. Maybe it will do the same for you...

This video changed my day. It made me think, it made me scared, it challenged me, it excited and saddened me, all at the same time. If it does the same to you, pass it on. Having a profound experience is a real treasure.

Have a wonderful weekend.

>> February 28, 2013 – embroidery, fashion, shopping

I just got back from my "Nomi fix", staying with her while Shiri and Orin took a quick trip to Ireland for the opening of "Once" in Dublin. Would you be surprised if I told you that I loved every moment with that little one? Amazing!!

I even got to go into the city for a few hours and thought about you guys when I was at the Time Warner Building at Columbus Circle. I saw these shoes and clutches by L.K.Bennett London, in a store window...

I wasn't pleased with the quality of the photos I took, so I looked them up for you and here is the collection...

So Purty!

Daily visits...

>> February 24, 2013 – needlepoint, shopping

I have sites that I make sure to visit daily. These sites do their best to entice me to spend money. They curate some very interesting, sometimes odd, many times pretty and most of the time well priced, items for me or my home.

I will list these sites a bit later, but today on my daily visit I found an abundance of what? Needlepoint, of course! These are all vintage pieces, you know, the kind you sadly find in garage sales going for $5. But not here! These pieces, stitched lovingly, are priced with much more respect!

Needlepoint Abstract sold for over $700

The little lamb $65

Such a lovely drummer set, $125

This very sweet scene from
the Wizard of Oz $165

The Teddy $169

Maybe we can meet on one of my daily visits? You do need to sign up for these sites, but I haven't gotten any hassling from them since I signed up. Here is where I go -

>> February 8, 2013 – friends, thoughts

This morning I was listening to NPR. They were talking about how the Weather Channel was giving storms names nowadays. For instance the big storm that is coming to the Northeast today, it's been named Nemo by none other than The Weather Channel! And you know what else? Since they are a broadcasting company, when these storms and tornadoes and other such catastrophes come along, they get the highest number of viewers and ratings. And you what else? Their revenues are the highest. And you know what I think? When we go to a channel to get important, sometimes crucial information for our safety, shouldn't it be void of any commercial interests?
