Hello out there! It has been too long since last blogging. Shame on me!
I have finally decided to continue my story of doing art and so many other things that have entered my life of late. Gardening and sewing has come full force into my life and I am now at the point of putting it all together. It is about time for sure.
I will be opening my Studio....Sweet Pea in February and will be doing some fun stuff. I plan to make it a learning place for teaching, not only art in all mediums for all ages, but also piano for the young beginner, sewing for the beginner, and gardening/hydroponics. I am full of excitement about this and hopeful too that it all will go as planned. I hope to post my new art works and that of my students as well. Since blogging more than a year ago, I have gotten into photography as well and love, love, love it. Some of my photography is already posted, but I've done so much more recently. I have become a lover of the Waldorf Doll and want to teach how to make this doll to others. I have also really enjoyed learning new stitches in crocheting and hope to create some cute outfits for the Waldorf doll. So Etsy will also come into my life as well and planning to sell some things there. Most likely my photography and sewing items. All exciting and even intimidating, but hey, what is life for if not living. Right?! See you all soon.
