Living in the Chicago area, these fairies are not too anxious to come out of their pockets quite yet!

Theraputic Snowman
I made this little snowman as a gift for
a special person in my life.
The snowman was inspired by the super
creative Sue Pelletier and featured in the
Nov/Dec 2008 Cloth-Paper-Scissors magazine.

Merry Christmas From Chicago!
Parade photo from 1951!
Every year, from the time we were little babies, the day after Thanksgiving, my 2 younger sisters, my mom, my grandmother and my aunt and I used to bundle up and take the Southshore train into Chicago to go to Marshall Field's downtown store. We would tell Santa what we wanted for Christmas and then have a special lunch in the Walnut Room. My favorite was baked corned beef hash, the best in the whole world!
It was and will always be a magical time!
We miss you Marshall Fields!

Cantigny (Can Tee Nee) Park
This is the view from my booth to the main park walkway. The park itself is gorgeous and the event held many activities for all ages!
I was able to meet "Madeline"...she did a story hour for the smaller kids and even the older "kids" got in on the meet and greet! I was also able to meet some local artists who I know will become kindred spirits.
Practicing our booth setup...
And believe it or not...we forgot to take pictures of our booth in action! However there was another French moment...an encounter with a mime I won't soon forget...
