Hello family and friends,
I just thought you would want to see what the babies look like now.

MILES>>>

Miles is 4 months and Penny is 6 months old now.

The Event at the Oak Forest Library was cancelled due to low ticket sales.  My work was displayed there for 2 months.  Nice group of people there.  Good luck to Mary the Director of the Library who is moving on to New Mexico.

Here are some Necklaces I made for the Etsy shop.  I started it on Aug 17, 2010 and I sell vintage items and ReMix.  These I consider remix because they started life as a wind chime but I didn't like it and decided to make them necklaces.   The shop is going well, I have a Facebook page also here is the link to the shop.  I am putting these on my art blog because I made these ceramic leaves , hand built slab and fired these the earth tones.  They were so pretty I thought someone would want a Bohemian type necklace.  These are for the girl who wants something like no one else has!! Sincerely, Babs

Hello Everyone,
I am a little behind on the posting. Our daughter, Becky, got married on July 17th to Camm Rowland.  The wedding was held in my sister Sue's garden and it was lovely.
I am displaying 24 works of art at the Acorn Public Library on Central Ave. in Oak Forest.  My work will be hanging there for the month of August and perhaps longer.  The library is trying to raise funds to remodel their facilities without raising property taxes.  They are having a fund raising event on October 15th, 2010.  Go to their website for more info.

I hope all of you are well and can visit the library in the near future.

I have not written for a while.  Lots of news.  Another Grand baby!!  Miles Henry was born on June 15th and he is perfect.  No problems, healthy, big boy-8lbs 14oz WOOOO HOOO.
He has lots of hair and is a big as his cousin Penny!!!!

Art projects have been taking a backseat for the time being.  I have done some sewing projects and made a few ceramic leaves for a sculpture.  I will post a picture of Miles and a photo of our house because I have a big garden.  The garden takes time to weed but it is worth every minute of my time.  It is my Zen when I garden, time stands still.  How do you like my beautiful bird house my husband made for me as a gift.  LIFE IS GOOD AND WE ARE BLESSED.

This is the latest painting I sold at the Village Artist members show.  I also went on a field trip to Kenosha Wisc. to see the Transparent Watercolor society show.  Very nice, good selection and well hung show.  The public museum is a nice venue.

The Village Artist Members Show was a success for me.  I sold a bowl, a bread warmer and a painting!!!  Thanks to everyone who came to the Friday night reception.  Things are moving along for our daughters wedding and  our son's child- grand baby number two , due June 17th.

Hello everyone , I would like to introduce you to my new grand daughter Penelope Jay Mikal-Heine. Isn't she beautiful??   I cannot believe the instant amount of love one feels at first site!  The proud parents are Scott and Annie and they did a good job.  Everyone is doing great.  God bless.
