I'm listening to the Canada geese flutter and honk out back on the mill pond. They are making their plans to share the water, the air, the shore. Won't be long before the season changes again. Up here in the studio, I feel it too.

Just for the fun of it, I hosted a girlfriends craft weekend here in Vermont. Robin drove up from Boston area and Melinda came from Philly.
Wishing you all a happy new year! I just updated my sidebar date and cannot believe this is year 12 for the blog!
Summer is going to be colorful and fun in Vermont! We are hosting a painting workshop with August Wren over the weekend of June 21-24. Jennifer Orkin Lewis is the noted illustrator known as August Wren.
Meleen, Kana and I hosted our weekend guests with so much excitement!
Even though it's snowing like crazy, the time has come to tell you about our next spring event in southern Vermont! Our 12th event!
We are excited to have Jenn McGlon come back with her big bag of fun art tricks.
Fall swept through here like a fast-moving train. So many days, so quickly come and gone. Meleen and I hosted another art-making event in Vermont with the loveliest group of women. Rebecca Sower came up from Tennessee to lead an amazing workshop of watercolor painting and mixed media collage.
Thank you all for the sweet emails and cards about my mom. Life catches you up and moves you along. It was a welcome delight to head back to Vermont for another retreat with friends and artists.

In September, Meleen and I hosted another pair of super-fun crafty getaways in Vermont. Both weekends were spectacular!
I'm still getting the hang of this new place. Every once in awhile I uncover the top layer of a basket full of things I squirreled away in here and find that there is actually something wonderful inside.
One of my favorite artists is Jenn McGlon of Noodle and Lou. Her work with paint and wood and polymer clay is so darn cute!
Maggie and I have been taking little Vince to the town pool now and then. It reminds me so much of the days when I did that with the girls in Chicago.
Our spring events in Vermont were sponsored by several friends and featured artists. Each gift was a lovely gesture of support and generosity!
This has been a busy spring and summer for me. Our house sold, I downsized and moved after an enormous tag sale a few weeks ago. (!!!)
We are making the final plans for spring in Vermont and the next pair of back to back weekend art/craft retreats.
