I believe I process things bass-akwards.
I announce a Gathering and then I start to design.
Often I search through my supplies to identify quantities
of products that I already possess to help keep class fees lower. I buy during sales and clearance never knowing
what they will become.
I have had so many inquiries
about the hearts that Jill taught us to make.
( Now I know they are everywhere but Jill taught me)
So she gets the credit.
I had hundreds of cut strips from another
project so hearts it is!
I have felted balls by the dozens
( no snide remarks now- behave)
So they screamed Snowmen.
He is also adorable as an ornament and
done up with glitter and mica.
I had paper mache boxes and bottle brush trees so..
It seems a theme of browns and creams and type is developing ..but of course glitter will enter soon.
These are just a few of the samples
I am playing with for my next Gathering.
"Love is all Around"

Yep, that would be me inside those pages of the new issue of Where Women Create.
Some of you may remember my post about meeting
Jo and Ryne last March.
It was a very special day for me and now
the magazine is out, or will be soon in your area
and what a thrill!
Thank you so much WWC,
and thank you for all the kind words from
all my friends.

So very happy for you today! Congrats on getting published and for your win. I can't wait to see that issue and I will be looking for you. Have fun with your creative workshop. Your snowman is adorable made out of felted balls and all. ;)
xo,
Danielle
I want to come over and craft with you, z. I've been wearing glue and glitter in my hair since I was pint sized - I'd love to make these crafts! :)
Congratulations on the WWC feature - I wondered when that would come together. Yay! Hope to grab a copy next time I'm in the BIG city.
And thanks for sharing at my blog - we agree on most. I think some set up a no-email-profile because they don't want spam. I can respect that, but if you can't reach them, that's that. Publishing a blog over the www and not allowing comments is strange to me, because I think of blogging as a way to connect with others - not a way to keep a private journal. But as you said, we are all different.
And I wish I could take credit for the Kindergarten Rules, but that credit goes to Robert Fulghum - the link to his website is at the bottom of the post - good, good stuff!
Hugs,

Congrats on the magazine! I will see if we get a copy in at our B & N! I just love the idea of your Gatherings and look forward to the day when I can perhaps be part of one. Love those felted balls, btw. Ann
Sounds like 'flying by the seat of your pants' works for you Susan!
I am not one bit surprised you are in WWC. You are so talented and original! A true artist! CONGRATS my friend! XO
Congrats Z!!
Hee Hee...that was a felt funny!
You are witty and pretty!
How wonderful! I love this magazine. I discovered it in the summer and own two issues - looks like I'll just have to buy a third. This is so great. (Thank God you told me/us this or I'd still be giggling about you and your felted balls.)
Oh I so have to go and find that magazine. Congrats! I can't wait to "see" you! Kit
Congratulations - I can hardly wait to see the magazine!!! I read this post earlier, while I was still at work, and was hoping it would be here when I got home. Maybe tomorrow.
Some of my favorite balls are felted... ;o) (That snowman box is ADORABLE!!)
And CONGRATULATIONS & YIPPEES X 2!!! Woo Hoo!!! What an awesome - and so-well-deserved honor to be featured...Sure hope I can find a copy here in Nod.....And what a fabulous prize package!!! I'm sure you'll put everything to its highest and best use!!
Now - go felt some more balls. ;o) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
I can't wait to see the issue, congratulations! And your gathering is going to be so much fun!
Kat :)
I think I'm getting to Omaha this weekend so should be able to find you in print!! So exciting! Thanks for the shout out. :)
How DID you come by so many felted balls?!
FINALLY! I have been wondering when it would be out - I'm looking forward to seeing your room in print.
I do things that way too, and then scratch my head wondering what in the heck I've gone and got myself into now. But, I think better under pressure - at least that's what I keep telling myself. I bet the Gathering will be fabulous - fun, and fab.
