After MANY years as a frustrated wannabe artist I was able to begin doing IT after quitting my jobs in education. I did infuse the arts into my teaching at every opportunity. Now I dabble in the fiber arts as much as possible. I also enjoy being with family, reading, playing poker, walking my dog, Beethoven and teaching quilting arts and other areas of the fiber arts.

Finished an old project!!!
Yahoo!!! I finally finished the bedroom bench that I started several months ago. A few of us in our embellishment group decided to make footstools and benches after seeing some in a nice gift shop here in Vegas. The footstools started at $750.00 and went up from there. I started with a piece of 3/4 inch plywood and unfinished legs from the hardware store. I'm so glad that it is finished and in my bedroom!!!

designing a doll
Since I've been invited to teach an art doll class at the Desert Quilters Show in February I better get busy and design a doll. This is as far as I've progressed so far. I'm just kinda doing it as I see it in my head. After I'm satisfied I'll make and write the pattern. It is really rather exciting and fun.
