Take notes!

Here's a new little notepad I made...

I got what I expected....

Artists Bobbi Becker, Gregory Bartlet and Lacey Jane Roberts.

So, I went to the ACC last week and saw all the wonderful crafts a girl could ever wish to see. What I didn't expect was to see something like this! Imagine how thrilled I was when I came upon this unexpected installation by San Franciscan artist Lacey Jane Roberts. My friends and I were blow away by the magnitude and creativity of this knitted masterpiece entitled "We Couldn't Get In. We Couldn't Get Out." More and better images of Lacey Jane's work can be seen on her website. Be sure to check out her knitted graffiti tags while you're there!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Watermelon Glory!

I must say, it's so nice having such talented people around me! This photo (of a Chihuly piece)was taken by my good friend, Lynne Suprock, of Simply Pretty Stuff. Lynne isn't just a talented photographer, she is also a wonderful jewelry maker. So check out her site and wonder, with me, about where she finds all the time and energy to make so much stuff!

Bag Lady!

I love this bag! It's handmade by Amanda Gotsch, a talented fashion designer, based here in Baltimore! I've been lucky enough to meet her and see her stuff in person. If Charm City (yes, that is one of Baltimore's many nicknames!) isn't your neck of the woods, then check out her etsy shop!
