packed and ready!

airing
The fridge is packed with good food for my family, the house is in order, coffee sacks have aired in the sun all weekend, and my buckets are packed... looks like the time for Squam Art Workshops has finally arrived! I won't be answering e-mails all week, but I do have some posts scheduled for the next few days. After three days of fun workshops, the retreat always culminates with a fantastic art fair on Saturday evening that is open to the public. If you are in the area, I hope you'll come by! If not, I'll be sharing what I'm bringing for my booth right here. Of course, there will be buckets... here are some waiting in line for a good ironing and a hang tag.

I made a few in extra large this time, and this big guy is holding all of the pouches and clutches I can't wait to show you tomorrow.

And now off I go... Squam Lake here I come! Pin It
