I treated myself and purchased my very own 'Dolls for Friends'! I've been wanting one for a very long time now. My cat looks thrilled.

Thanks to all that help make this one of Portland's best craft events!

I can't wait for the next Crafty Wonderland, December 10th and 11th. Mark your calendars!

And... the weather here has been GORGEOUS, so it has been challenging for me to stay indoors and give attention to my blog and my art. I promise this coming week that I will be better about these two items. So for quite some time now, well, since I moved to the west coast, I've had this urge to do some film documentation of what I encounter. My plan is finally getting played out, someone has inspired me to kick it in gear. So the plan is (hopefully I can keep it up) to film five to 10 second snippets during the month and then make it into a two to five minute film at the end. So here we begin with the month of May...
