Art Show

May 16th I traveled to Kaukauna to the 28th Annual Nature's Images Fine Arts Fair. What a beautiful day. 1000 Island Nature Center is beautiful. We were by the water and plenty of wonderful artist. I held a drawing at my booth for a $20.00 gift certificate to my web site. Shirley from Kaukauna won. Congratulations Shirley! Met a lot of people from all over the state. I always enjoy watching the customers comment on my basket and pick out that special basket. Customers will ofter ask what do you use this one for. Others will say I have so many baskets, I don't think I can fit another in my home.

One question I alway get ask is if I do basket weaving classes. At this moment no I do not, but it is looking like we might have an Art Academy in Iola. That would be awesome! Will keep you posted.

Enjoy the beautiful weather, time to get some planting done in the garden.

Happy Spring!

We must be getting our April showers in May!
I attended Spencer Lake Christian Center on Monday evening. What a beautiful facility! The Waupaca Women's Christian Group had a fabulous program. There were about 8 booths for shopping the evening away, food, entertainment. Star Patterson was the guest speaker. Her topic was Stress. I think everyone is under a lot of stress these days. I recall when I was working full time the rush to get to work, the rush to get all those jobs completed then trying to be good to the boss. Coming home in the evening and being exhausted. With my new job I do not have an alarm clock! Friday afternoons are now FUN Fridays! Star gave us lots of pointers. I love this saying: Say yes to the best. . . and no to the rest! Here's another You don't have to be perfect to be wonderful. Two baskets were to be raffled off, two wonderful ladies from Waupaca Wisconsin won. I hope they enjoy them as much as I enjoyed weaving the baskets.

Don't miss the 28th Annual Nature's Images Fine Arts Fair in Kaukauna. I will be there with my baskets from 10 am to 4:30 pm Sunday, May 26. Register at my booth and you can win a Free Basket.
