Postcards From Squam

Instant friends, just add water. And yarn.

I'm still coming down from 5 loving, brilliant days 

at Squam Art Workshops 2013.

This year's center piece, Harriet Goodall's 

woven heart with twinkle lights.
If you're unfamiliar with Harriet, 
you'll want to visit her extraordinary website. 

Making the Blizzard Book on a drizzly afternoon.

 

Beautiful, busy souls. Exquisite paintings.

My painting buddy for 2 days, LauraLynn.

Yep, she's truly as radiant as she looks.

Close up of a painting I made in 

Alena Hennessy's workshop.

I found out I can let go, and I can play. 

I can leave a "mistake" alone for a minute 

only to see that it actually works! Huge for this Type A.

Each day started & ended with this incredible view. Sigh.

Imagine meeting you here, Debbie!

 A few of my favorite things from the Art Fair:

AWC Designs, leather belt & custom buckle

Ribbons from Germany (!)

Letterpress notecards from Pressbound

Kelbourne Woolens project bag

 (Cabin-mate) Ana's Toil and Trouble hand-dyed yarn

But wait, there's more! 

One evening around the fire, our

cabin-mate Julie told us about her daughter 

playing fiddle for a band, The Floorwalkers. New to me,

I went straight to YouTube and had a listen - now it's your turn.

Wow, thanks Julie! 

 Breathe it in....until next year!

More bags are being added to the shop, 
in case you're looking for a zippy little pouch 
perfect for all sorts of uses, INCLUDING
GRADUATION GIFTS (just think of what you can tuck inside!) 
 Thanks, and have a fun week!
