Marie award

I recently received this award from Susan, of RedBessBonney . From her blog about the award, "our dear Marie did more than wave a cake fork around and perhaps that is the mystery behind this intriguing award. What I take away from all this is, if you are a special woman ~ strong, out-spoken, and willing to stand up and be heard for what you believe in ~ you may see Marie gracing your blog sometime soon."

well, that certainly sounds like me, so i thank you Susan! i pass this award onto

kim at Artdog's life

allegra at Beading Stars

Z at Oozhulia's

i'm still missing our bunny, but not quite as sad about it this week. i want to go get some daffodil bulbs and plant them at her grave. i did that at Pebbles grave and enjoy seeing the flowers bloom every spring.

i've been working on some deadlines for teaching in oct. i have to say, i now have a new appreciation for all the work that goes into these classes even before the students walk through the door. i think i'm just about done with my obligations and now am working on a few submissions to Sew Somerset, Altered Couture and Belle Amoire Jewelry. hopefully soon i will find out if i am vending at Artnsoul in Hampton, so i can be prepared for that.
