It is Spring again!
My one woman show in Vallejo was a great success! We had a Fashion Show for the Opening Reception and were so well received that we had a Closing Reception as well. I was accepted into the Palos Verdes Wearable Expressions Show and my ensemble was picked to be one of the Runway pieces for the closing as well. i also did theBead andDesign Show in Pasadena and Stitches in San Jose. It was a busy winter-early Spring.
I had to get all that done before my hip replacement surgery in April. All went well and I am recovering nicely. I am cutting down some this summer so as to take time for full recovery and to experiment more on the new techniques I have studied the past two years. I want to make them fully a part of my repertoire this summer. I amdefinitely considering teaching them once I feel comfortable.
I will be in British Columbia this summer for all this, now that I have a full studio up there. Kudo's to my husband who worked hard last year to turn the old cabin into a wonderful light filled studio. Next week I paint it and then it is good to go! I can hardly wait.
I do have a smaller version of my one woman show planned for the Station House in Williams Lake in November. But I also will be making some new natural fiber pieces for LaLana and the Cambridge Cooperative in Massachusetts using my newly acquired techniques as well. All of these will be shown in Sacramento at the Fashion Show for the Textile Guild there in mid-November. My local patrons are also urging me to do an Open studio the end of November and I know I will want to show off my new skills for them too.
So that is my "light " schedule. You can tell I feel better now that I can walk without a 'hitch' and can bend over again! Just hard to keep my enthusiasm down. I love what I do. It always intrigues and opens new doors and new vistas.... Just so many "what if.....s". I have to explore them all or at least as many as I can.
Here's hoping that your life is full of passion for what you do !
