New Pictures on Link List

Here's hoping everyone had a great holiday weekend - Dave & I certainly did, though we did miss being with family. Some of the pictures of our trip to see Jeni, Josh and the kids are now on the link list. Enjoy. Since I took over 1000, this is only a small taste (yes, Jeni - you'll get a CD with all people pics on it!)....and the one on this post is one of my favories - we had a great time and can hardly wait to go back.

Hugs to all

Love,

Grandma Jo Ann

Latest Pictures

We have the latest pictures of the trip to Canada on the link list and will have the pictures from our visit with Jeni/Josh and kids in Washington State up soon...

Jo was able to make a day trip to the Houston Quilt Show on November 4th - here she is barely able to drag the bag full of new fabric behind her! It was a long day but definitely worth it! What beautiful quilts there were! And she got to meet Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson in person! What a thrill!

Captain - there be whales here!

No - really - humpbacks. The coolest thing ever yesterday.

Today, however, totally sucked and the fault lies totally with Horizon Air - avoid them if at all possible. They have no sense of customer service and we spent 10 hours (yes, TEN hours) in the Victoria airport. Dave is writing a letter to them explaining just how unreasonably unhappy they made us and a lot of other passengers. We didn't get back into the States until 9 pm today.

Hooray! We have a winner!

The doll entered into the On My Own Time art show here at the University (see posting on August 3 for picture) won first place in his category! He now goes to the city-wide show at Northpark Mall here in Dallas for a couple of weeks. Hugs - Jo

Latest Art

I finished this 10" doll this weekend. Was tired of beading so decided to use up some paint - painted the doll one day and made the stand the next - Dave cut some scrap 2"x4" and I covered it with glue and tissue paper, then painted it with metallic paint; drilled a hole, put a wire in the doll and glued the wire into the hole. I like her and I received a lot of positive feedback at the Dallas Area Fiber Arts meeting. I have a few more of these "goddess" shaped dolls made now, so I'll make a few more stands and put the pictures up when they are done.
Hugs - Jo
