Vancover is...buried in deep, white snooooooooow!!!! VERY UNususal for this part of Canada!! ie. there are...PALM TREES in Vancouver!! Gather the snowfall the last week or so has broken...ALL records since records were first kept!! I cannot remember Vancouver ever looking sooooooooooooo beautiful!!!! I grew up/lived in a "snowbelt" (Ontario)for most of my life, so this Winter Wonderland that Van. has become is a g-r-e-a-t JOY for me!! Other Vancouverites?? NOT so much!! Most don't own such wintry necessities as: heavy coats, warm gloves/mitts, toques, snowboots, snow shovels, etc.,etc. and most just cannot drive in the 'white stuff'!! HELP!! Must shut up!! Can't wait to see MORE of your GLORIOUS pces.!! Happy New Year!! Charlotte

- Hi Ro!
Your work is amazing and I especially love your jewelry pieces. You and I share the common quest of wanting to do everything artistic that there is to try. Having never lived anywhere but Texas, I envy your experience in seeing different countries.
Have a wonderful Christmas...and may you receive all the art goodies your stocking can hold! Emily Davlin

Connie Volkman said… - Hi Ro,
Love your work.
I haven't been very communicative lately as I'm preparing for a show and don't have much time left to get ready. I don't know why I let it get to me that way but exposing one's self to others can be dicey especially when you live in a one horse town that thinks fiber is just sewing quilts (no offense to quilt artists).
Recently, I found a lovely little button that says - "never apologize for your art" and I wear it when I open a show.
Thanks for the invite and I accept.
Connie, an aging art diva

American Folk Art Doll Pattern
This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply. Their description:
HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll
The New York Doll
This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme
The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
