Maybe there is something to this blogging

I've never understood the attraction of blogging because I never understood why people would want to read about what I do. However, as you can see, here I am writing on my own blog. I recently googled my illoominations shop and discovered that Renee Nation, a very talented felt artist. wrote about me in her blog..:) Very cool for me! Here is her blog: http://www.surprisedbyfiber.blogspot.com/ So now I am beginning to understand the blog factor and promotion. We were in a small art show at the Rochester Athletic Club here in Rochester. I was lucky enough to have a table next to hers. Her felted scarves and vessels are beautiful and unique. Even her children are into felting. I was impressed by their things in her shop as well. Check her blog out!

Hooray!

Well.. I had good news this past week! I took my weavings to a couple local galleries and was told my things could be in both of them. Unfortunately not right away but some time this year...:) I am on a waiting list to get into the SEMVA gallery. (South Eastern Minnesota Visual Arts) It usually takes about 6 months so hopefully by late summer I will be there! Just in time for the end of the Thursdays on First outdoor art shows downtown and for the holiday shopping season.

I was also accepted for the "Fabrications" show at the Crossings gallery in Zumbrota. Every December they have a fiber art show featuring regional artists. Again great timing for the holidays! Check out their link: http://www.crossingsatcarnegie.com/
