I'm listening to the Canada geese flutter and honk out back on the mill pond. They are making their plans to share the water, the air, the shore. Won't be long before the season changes again. Up here in the studio, I feel it too. 

This weekend, I taught a workshop on how to make paper flowers at Mohonk Mountain House for their Girlfriend's Getaway Weekend. In a little under an hour, everyone made at least one lovely, unique crepe paper flower—and many of the students made several. 

Just for the fun of it, I hosted a girlfriends craft weekend here in Vermont. Robin drove up from Boston area and Melinda came from Philly. 

Wishing you all a happy new year! I just updated my sidebar date and cannot believe this is year 12 for the blog! 

Summer is going to be colorful and fun in Vermont! We are hosting a painting workshop with August Wren over the weekend of June 21-24. Jennifer Orkin Lewis is the noted illustrator known as August Wren. 

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Mary's artwork, Mary and I hosted a number of enthusiastic guests for a weekend workshop at her studio.

Meleen, Kana and I hosted our weekend guests with so much excitement! 

We're seeing spring in fits and spurts. Super warm, then blustery cold. But it is of course, very exciting and beautiful to see everything greening up. 

I know that everyone has a lot to do to prepare for Easter, but if you are looking for a simple project, this is it. 

I had a chat with a new friend yesterday about social media and its place in our lives.
