The Almighty Scarf Story
Coming soon!

To commemorate the Games
Green Bay Packers
January 23, 2011

Tom Collentine of Wisconsin
requested a custom made scarf
designed with special colors.

His favorite lama is shorn each year
and of course, it shall be his choice
of scarf material.

Story of the Green Bay Packer Scarf - February 1, 2011
I am proud to have designed this special scarf for a
Wisconsin fan who wants to wear this very special scarf.
It is made of special processed yarn from the shearing
of his very own beloved pet Lama. Good luck!
May the best team win! Happy Super Bowl 2011!

Today with the snow blizzard on hand, it took me an hour
and a half to walk through this snow. This same route,
usually takes 20 minutes to the post office, but today,
winter was at it's height with unimaginable snow and winds.

With no taxi cabs available, I was determined to deliver
this special custom made scarf to a Green Bay Packer fan
who enthusiastically awaited the Superbowl game this
coming Sunday.

In bitter cold, I was off to the post office and nearly
froze my face off. High powered winds just tore into
my eyes and up my nose with freezing pellets of
ice and snow which rendered me numb.
After arriving to the post office, the attendant stated
that the airplanes were grounded.

What a surprise, I am hoping this carefully boxed
scarf arrives in time for this fan to watch
his Superbowl game? !

New Twist on Tradition
Illinois Art & Artisans Center will feature
a fantastic quilt display throughout the shop.
Quilt lovers will enjoy the demonstrations, and
reception that will coincide with the
Kentucky Quilt Show.

Location

--Quilt story--
When I was a young girl, I stared at
wall hangings and brightly colored rugs
and with my eyes would repeatedly trace
the figures before falling asleep.
I would start at one corner and artfully follow
the lines by tracing a path with my eyes.
I was peacefully mesmerized. As I examined
tiny details and daydreamed, I stared at the
heavy thick black lines and imagined I was there
in another fantasy land. It was a way of relaxing . . .

. . . and clearing my mind before seriously
taking on another task or errand. With this quilt,
I offer it's viewer a chance to return to innocence
and promote imagination by easily identifiable
animal and budding life forms. I love images
with black lines and repetitious patterns which
attract attention. As an Artist, I created
whimsical images by sewing layers of
appliqued fabrics and machine stitching them
together. This colorful theme brings life
and fun into any room setting.

found the pathway to an upset-free
lifestyle!

Rejuvenate your life

Don't you remember the days
when everything was seen through
the eyes of innocence and we
felt so care-free?

This book covers four decades
of a young girl evolving into womanhood.
Sharon began sketching at the
early age of 8, because she had
yet to learn her writing skills.

The Bath Woman was identified as one of the most FEMININE pieces the judge ever examined under a huge 10X magnifying glass. The judge claimed to have sniffed the print to discover the oil paints verifying it's authenticity.

This show is open for the next 30 days and if you can take the time out to visit this get-away weekend to enjoy the Creede Art's festival where the public is invited to observe talented Artists painting the magnificent Colorado scenes directly in the middle of downtown streets.
