2015

Hi there! It has been too long since being on here. Lots have happened in my little world, all good and exciting, of course. Two new grand babies, one now 2 yrs old and the other almost 6 months.
I think that will be all for now.

I have just had the best ever art and craft room created and soon plan on getting my LLC up and running and a website. So excited!
My dear friends who actually did ALL the work, made such a beautiful space for me and for all the students that will bless this space. We took down the master bedroom wall, connected to a smaller bedroom and also opened up a closet and took off all the doors. John built a beautiful counter height table, strong enough to  slam clay down on and  he built a slab builder, that is beyond awesome, and shelves galore.  All tables built will also serve as a place to create any type of art one wants. The easels aren't in yet, but soon to come. The he built a large sewing table and everything is so wonderful. We still have some finishing up, but all the art STUFF is slowly trickling in. John and Caroline are an amazing couple who do the most excellent work. I am blessed to have found them to create this craft room.

I hope to fill this room with lots of students who want to learn everything from art, sculpture, sewing and just about anything else. I am opened to it all. LIFE IS AMAZING!!!!!!
