Heart Notes: the joy in this moment
Is it just me or does this summer feel a whole lot busier?
As things are opening up in terms of the pandemic, life seems to be a whole lot busier than I'm comfortable with. Does this resonate with you?

The other day I found myself feeling overwhelmed with the amount on my plate, even though most of it was wonderful stuff. I was reminded of a phrase given to me by a friend just before my second book launch in 2017. It was "I open my heart to the joy in this moment".

For more about being present and enjoying the small, wonderful things that are happening (despite world events and other distressing news), you will want to read my latest blog post The Joy in This Moment.

Plans are coming together for In the Studio Workshop Week 4 in October. This online week of workshops, panel discussions and artist gatherings takes place October 23 to 30. We have a really super lineup of classes which will be announced soon. Teachers include Susan Feller, Elizabeth Miller, Rebecca Martin, Nadine Flagel, Anastasia Tiller, Domenica Queen, Karen Miller and myself.  I'm excited to be teaching once again and can't wait to tell you about my class. Hint - it has something to do with the Chakra colours!

Keep reading for Artwork in Progress, Upcoming Classes and Events and more.
Wild Woman Becoming - in Full Colour continues at ART1274 Hollis Gallery to August 2.
Stay well and keep looking for those moments of joy. Thanks for reading and connecting. It means the world to me.

Warmly,

Artwork in Progress

I'm working on a piece for the Get Hooked at Sea exhibit for Sauder Village Rug Hooking Week in Ohio. It's called 'Chakra Colours hit Get Hooked at Sea'.

I'm also working on some new products for my shop. These one of a kind Chakra Colour pins (see below) will be available in limited quantities soon.

If you would like to own one of my fibre art creations, take a look at my gallery or contact me. Custom designs also available.
