Hundreds of participants gather to learn and renew friendships and make new ones.

I'm sew looking forward to meeting Ana as our past classes were on line due to  covid

Well it's been a mintue.......

Teaching my little neighbour sewing.We are making a t shirt with the front blueprints, using a special paint.
 I'm working on items for the Artisans trail , which is less than 2 months away.
I participated in a juried art show, a first for me.
 finished a jelly roll rug.

had fun helping a friend make dog beds from her guild's scrap bags 
took alcohol ink class,fun stuff to play with
 Another first for me is that I've sent in a submission to a magazine for consideration, more one this later.
 At our campsite we found a robin nesting in the wood shed, they have 4 babies to look after. there is a dove nesting in the same area with a single chick. Now we get to watch them grow. In our campground there are a number of different birds. We had also seen, sparrows, gold finch,sirens,purple martins,Orioles sea gulls with more to come.
Sew far this spring the weather has been mixed. We have had some nice rains to wash away the winter dirt/snow mold, warm days and very cool ones. We have frost on the rooftops this morning
