THINGS ARE REALLY A-POPPING....

Summer Sawdust is coming and booth spots have been chosen. Mine is definitely not going to be what it has been in the past so my January question re things being the "same old thing 

has been answered.

This is the 60th anniversary celebration for the "dust" and there are a lot of exciting things already on tap, not the least of which is new grounds layout. When you visit (and we all hope you will) you will see a vast array of changes and exciting revved up energy. I hope you are looking forward to it as much as we are. Oh! and by the way that heavily outlined spot on the map is where i will be, sharing a double-wide with Ashley Hemsley. 

Meanwhile, monthly Sunday Mixed Media Workshops continue. There is still room  in the ones on June 9 and  July 26

 

NEW YEAR OR THE SAME OLD THING?

Birds, birds, birds...I know, nothing new here, right?

But...I have set some goals. Have you? How mine play out is still very much to be determined. More will be revealed I suppose as the year moves forward. Meanwhile, I have scheduled a few more of the monthly workshops and look forward to the usual camaraderie and creativity they enfold. So here is the upcoming schedule thru summer:

Sunday, February 22 FULL

Sunday, March 22 A FEW SPOTS LEFT

Sunday, April 12

Sunday, May 3

Sunday, June 7

Sunday, July 26

All days are 11-4 and cost is the same ole $65 with all materials included.

KNOWING JOY

"Stay close to people who feel like sunshine."

Is there any better advice for 2026?

Join a group of creatives. Create daily and share with your group.

Seek "sunshine" folks in all you do and go all in on joy. 

Then, let me know how it goes. :)

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON

 As the clock started ticking as soon as the turkey carcass was bare....holiday season is really warming up now.

I'm busy each weekend from Friday thru Sunday at the Sawdust Festival's Winter Fantasy. And what a joyous time it is. Children come all dressed up for their pics with Santa, the marionette show delights young and old, music sounds throughout the grounds that are decorated for the holidays...and of course there are the artists selling their personal magic. This is something not to be missed if you're in town. It is a great way to let the holidays in.

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

May your day be one of fullness and gratitude for all of the gifts of life.

It's the little things

 

I know, I know...it's been waaaaay too long since I have written for this blog. I would like to say it's the little things that have gotten in the way and maybe that's even true. But I also have to admit to the fact there have been some larger than little things that have contributed to my laxity.

I choose, however, to leave the large and the little behind me and make an effort to do better. So bear with me moving forward. 

The things on the horizon are wonderful, heartwarming mixed media workshops and the upcoming Winter Fantasy at the Sawdust Art Festival (November 21 thru December 21, Fridays thru Sundays.) I hope to see new and old friends at both.

Meanwhile, it IS the little things that matter.

IT'S ON!!!!

 

The summer festival season is upon us here in Laguna Beach. Art, music, great food, more art, more music, more food...oh, yeah! and traffic. 

And many of us look forward to it with joy and enthusiasm no matter what. So I can only encourage one and all to find a way to give it a chance. Come visit the festivals and experience the joyful creations. Creativity makes the world run better!
