In honor of all the runners and awesome athletes out there.  This is for you. 

Little Free Library

Mike Stratton, Terri Zwicker and I have been working on our Little Free Library, I've been putting pictures up all day. Now, WA LA it is finished..we are going to start on #2 tonight. One for Grandma and one for us. I hope this catches on around Appleton and not just for the cuteness factor, maybe more people will read books and feel the freedom from passing them on.

Preparing for a New Year

In the down time between Christmas and taxes...most small businesses who create are thinking of new ideas/designs/shows we plan on exhibiting at -  for the whole year, some of us plan a year in advance for shows that are a "fit" for us.

Sometimes it can feel like you are empty of ideas, and then "blip" you mind is full again.  I'm so grateful for a rejuvenated sense of creativity. Grateful for all the years I had with my brother (he passed away in December of cancer).  Grateful for my supportive family and network of crafting/artsy friends - you know who you are.  Here is to T-shirts, colaborating with friends, new ways of doing things!
