These were fun and bright - a polyester netting |
The continuing theme that I saw at the show was vintage. |
I loved this vintage typewriter. Look, only 3 rows of keys! |
High Heels made by Michele Muska of Simplicity for the Kick Off Your Heels Fundraiser! |
New product in the Elmer's Glue book - 'Painters' that work on 10+ surfaces, including these high heels! |
Saw some friends at the show - Liz Kettle and Ruth Chandler of Textile Evolution! Great fun! |
My friend, Michele Muska came by to visit me in my studio before the CHA Show began. She works for the Simplicity Creative Group. I use many of their trims, and the Simplicity Felting Machine! |
I had the pleasure of meeting Drew Emborsky, the Crochet Dude also! I have never learned to crochet, but I am thinking that I would like to give it a try. |
Pam Carriker and Mary Beth Shaw were in town for the CHA show, so we all went for a studio tour and out to dinner on Thursday night. This was our 'art date' for The Sketchbook Challenge. In hindsight, we should have taken a long arm picture of all three of us on the couch! |
In times of resting to elevate my feet, I took out my sketchbook to draw, which was very relaxing. |
What a fun show and I love those giant flowers, really fun. Our library got Sue's new book in, so I have it waiting for me, need to go pick it up.
