A Tuesday Dress Rehearsal Performance...





My good friend, Debi Kennedy, who is a professional retail/display designer, came and spent a wonderfully sunny and warm afternoon on my farm walking me through "dress" rehearsal.

Deb directed our every move like a seasoned symphonic conductor.   My incredibly supportive husband, Dan, had all the large "percussion" instruments covered as he hoisted and lifted on cue.
I, on the other hand, just sat in the audience with my mouth agape watching the performance and incredible story unfolding, all the while clapping and saying "oooh, aaaah".

Visit me at Bellevue...


Time is running out...there are not enough seconds in a minute nor hours in a day to get all my creative ideas transformed into reality.

No sooner do I see a newly bloomed flower than I am mixing dyes in a pot attempting to replicate Mother Natures perfect "periwinkle".  As the silk and merino quietly absorb the colors, I feverishly am laying out design patterns in anticipation of a newly created garment...purse...pillow...hat...table runner?

Please come visit me at the Bellevue Festival of the Arts.  I will be directly across from International Jewelers store doors on NE 8th St.
