See you at Powderhorn!

I have visited the Powderhorn Art Fair over the years, but now I have the privilege of being a participant in the fair set for this weekend. SOOOOO excited.

You can find Molly, aka The Happy Hooker, and her mother at booth 100, sort of on the south side of the lake, not too far from the area where the May Day pageant occurs. Hope to see you there. By the way, if you're interested in creating your own fabric-wrapped bowl etc., I have posted a short video created by Bernina. It can be found below.

Let the sunshine. (Do you have your brim yet?)

I

It was a year ago this upcoming weekend that I debuted my sun brims - this woman was the absolute first customer. I love how stern she appears, while the colorful brim just warms her up. A little color, a little attitude. Plop it on your head, wear it and listen to the compliments on your style, pack it for a trip, and wash it at the end of the season. Where did I get the idea?

Well from my mom, of course. Here is a photo of her at my brother's sixth grade confirmation! By gosh, my bridesmaids wore them as well in the late 60s. Stop by this weekend's Stillwater Rivertown Art Festival. The selection is great and now available in three sizes.

Booth set up and we're ready to go!

If you can, please stop by and visit us at during Art-a-Whirl. We're at 4 Angels Creations. It's a great spot, away from the maddening crowds.

It's been a whirl preparing for Art-a-Whirl

Whew. I should have taken a photo of my living room this past weekend. It is my staging area for upcoming art shows - and, oh my gosh, it was like cleaning out the cupboards..... pull everything out, re-evaluate its purpose and then dispose, recycle or put it back with the promise that things will NEVER get that disorganized again! This weekend is Molly and my first "official" show of the season- Art-a-Whirl. Print out a copy of the map of the various artist locations and draw a big circle around 4 Angels Creations - That's where we'll be located. Molly will be in the tent for sure, but, since that is the last weekend of the legislative session, it's questionable whether I can make it. I sure hope so.

Anyway, Molly will be debuting her new line of dish cloths. What do you think? I love her tag name. As for me, well after three years of coiling and coiling, I think I am finally perfecting the method. Here's another new item.

This two-piece creation is adorned with a dry sea fan that Molly picked up in the Caymans. Oh, by the way, please visit my store. I would appreciate your comments as to its ease of use. I'll be at three shows in June - Stillwater, Excelsior and Eagan
