My time is limited...

...I realize, as my son, Zack, wanders the halls of the high school, playing his guitar, singing, talking to friends...he will soon be ready to open the next chapter of his life, adulthood. wow. where did the past 18 years go?

Hope for Haiti

A number of wonderful businesses have donated items to raffle off for funds to go to Compassion, Intl., and the American Red Cross to get assistance to the people of Haiti. I hope that you'll consider getting a ticket, or ten, or just spread the word so that we all can play a part in helping our fellow man through this enormous challenge.

Winter Woolfest 2010-SATURDAY!

If you happen to be in the neighborhood of I-70 near the Wamego exit between Topeka and Manhattan this Saturday, January 9th, please drop in to see me and the other wonderful fiber artists at the second annual Winder Woolfest!



There you will see many different fiber artists, and be able to purchase from assorted fiber and yarn vendors. You will also have the opportunity to see demonstrations of spinning, crocheting and knitting, felting and more, as well as take a mini-class in a number of these techniques. Check out the link below for more information:

I hope to see you on Saturday!!

New Year, Fresh Start

2010 is here, and that means it is time for reflection on the past year, and visions for the coming year. And, while I may not be satisfied with what has occurred during the past year regarding my business pursuits, education improvements, etc., I choose to "give it a C- and move on", good advice from a therapist many years ago.

So, what do I know and what do I plan to do with the knowledge?

1. I am striving to be a better, more disciplined follower of Christ, and want to take every opportunity I can to continue to grow in my faith. I received two gifts this past year that will assist me in this pursuit: a weekly memory verse kit for the year from Samaritan's Purse and an Everyday Bible from my friend, Dawn. Both items are on my desk at my office, encouraging me to be a light to the students and teachers I encounter as a teacher's aid at our high school.

2. My family is growing up and I don't want to miss out, so my promise to them is to be a more involved, more interested mom, mother-in-law, and Granna. And, because my family includes friends, I will be more intentional about keeping in touch with and taking the time to build my friendships with my friends.

3. I discovered the medium that will be my focal point for all creative endeavors from this point forward: felting. And, I find that I cannot go a day without doing something creative, so I pledge to daily work on my creative pursuits. Sketching ideas, drafting patterns, writing tutorials, or creating beauty from fibers, fabrics, beads and paper-I'll do something each and every day.

So there you have it, my vision for the coming year. What about you? What are your visions for 2010?
