Creative Women - Dreams in Hand

The second last day in October and its a snowy wet day. Really a good time to clean up and get caught up after a very busy fall. One of the things I was working on was the Creative Women Exhibit held at the Saint John Art Center in Saint John NB. This is a wonderful venue and Friday night ( Oct 28th there were 4 exhibits .Of course the first I will talk about is Creative Women . This is the name a small group of very creative women have given themselves. It started out as a Sharing ( and eating) and the next thing we know we are booked for an exhibit. A great experience and what an evening it was for the opening , so many people!!!

More Distraction - August

What can I say I really enjoyed the summer.

The cats kept me entertained

 And more pictures from the garden

I did an art card every day in a new technique for me

An late afternoon at St Martins

with new water shoes which were great for walking in the water and mud

Finished and mounted a needle felted project that I started last year for my Mom

there is a fair amount of stitiching on it

Looked for anything differnt in both front and back yard

Summer Distractions in July

An Invitation

 Count down to the Exhibit & Grad - Just finished printing 6 copies of the Thesis. I feel so guilty that I think I'll save all those little maples growing in the flower beds and replant them on the hill.

New addition

There is always something in the Studio to distract me and with only a few weeks to the Graduate Exhibit I really should try and stay focus but we have just added an addition to the family today and she is just to cute to ignore. We think she is a she and have not named her yet except for Biscuit (she was born in a horse barn).

Love New York

Okay 3 days on ground really doesn't give much time to take it in everything about New York but first impressions was it's the best!!! Plans are in the works to going back.
I really shouldn't have taken the time out from homework but sometimes it is the best thing to do is to recharge those creative batteries with a whole different outlook.
