Winter to Spring

Such silly weather. Snow and winter everywhere else. Warm, bright sunshine in Seattle. The wild plum in our garden is a riot of bloom and coating the earth below with it's own version of snow. And oh, when that magic light just before sunset strikes the blossoms...

What a wonderful weekend at Ben Franklin Crafts in Redmond! Thank you all for coming to my trunk show / book signing and class - I am honored so many of you joined me inside on such a sunny weekend! And to Kim, Nu, Karen, Natalie, Ria and all the staff at Ben Franklin - it was a joy working with you!
