Home again

Why does it take so long to get back 

into a routine?  I have been back 5 days

and I am still don't quite have it all together.

But, when you run your own business

everyday is a new fire to put out.

Or, now this project is more important.

Everything stops when you hit the road.

But it's all waiting for you when you get back.

Here are a few pictures of my journey.

I love these girls. Melody, Marie and Jen.

And all the other girls too.  Jo, Jen, Letty,

Katie, Sue, Kathy and all the earth angels

that were not at this show.  

As artist we get all caught up in our craft.  But truthfully, it is all about

the people.  It is a lot of work to do a show.  But it is all worth it when

you hook up with your tribe. 

This is a happy new bunny lover.

And these I found in a box I had forgot to unpack.

Quaint Quinn, with her hand painted tag.

This is tell me a story Sam.

And Darling Dot.

You can purchase through Jen at

Where Women Create

I picked up a copy of

the latest

Where Women Create.

Look, my favorite cheerleaders.

I say that because, as an artist.

We need an arsenal of friends like these two.

(And yes I am going to call myself an artist,

but I believe we all are in one way or the other.)

Jen O'Conner

and

Jo Packham

 The two most vocal advocates I 

know of creativity. They are 

a dynamic duo.

Valuable allies, supporter and necessary shoulders

to cry on, and high 5'ers to celebrate with.

Anyone who is fortunate to cross paths

we these two dynamos is lucky indeed.

And look.

Road Show in Saratoga.

May 19th and 20th.

At Schuyler pond

Here is my little picture.

Very cool planter...

And you will just have to purchase the

magazine to see all the rest of the inspiring

content.  I love looking at what other people

create, think and feel.  A snapshot of what

I consider my tribe.  Creativity breeds creativity.

So go catch a glimpse and be inspired.

And hope to see you there.

Spring Show in Saratoga Springs New York

I leave in a few weeks for

EarthAngel Spring Fling.

I can't wait to see the east coast this

time of year.

Here in the valley it is beautiful.

Cherry trees are blooming, Lilacs will

be blooming in another week.

I stopped at the tulip fields this morning. It was early and

on my way back to Anacortes from Kirkland.  The fields were

not open so I took these pictures from the locked gate.

Happy Spring.

Are you blooming?
