Temperature Blanket Update

Temp blanket thru march.jpgI am catching up on the crocheted Temperature Blanket.  It’s coming along and you can really see the temperature changes now.  The strange weather we have been having from really warm days in golds and reds to drops in temperatures the next day in greens and blues really shows up.    I’m having fun with this.  Hope yours is coming along too.  And remember if you didn’t start in January you can always begin now (Find info on how here) and backtrack to January or just make yours an April – March blanket.  It will be beautiful!

Yesterday was a busy day with two paint parties – one at the Holiday Inn and one at The Studio.  Rice Tire from Maryland is having a retreat/convention here and invited us to have a Paint Party for their attendees spouses.  We had a large and enthusiastic group.  Everyone did a great job and is going home with a wonderful souvenir of their time in the Shenandoah Valley.

The afternoon saw us painting at our 1st Saturday Paint Party where we painted the third in our Four Seasons series – the Spring Tree.  They looked GREAT!

Lots of beautiful art was made yesterday!

April Fools Paint Party

April Fools 1April Fools 12I couldn’t have asked for a more fun group of painters to have an April Fools Day Paint Party than the one that was at The Studio last night.  They were so  much fun.  Many were hesitant, as many are when they come to paint for the first time, but after getting started they were all great new painters, laughing and having a great time.  You can tell from their wonderful paintings that they had a great time.

You can find information on Paint Parties here.  Why not schedule one for your friends?
