Nancy and I are working on a new textile/knit graffiti totem pole for Corry Street in Yellow Springs and this little beauty Nancy designed and made will go at the top.

Meanwhile

Flower Power Sew In’s continue at Brother Bear’s Cafe  on Friday mornings and slowly the flowers continue to bloom on Dayton and Corry Street.

Much thanks goes to Brother Bears Cafe, and of course everyone who is coming along and donating supplies and making such BEAUTIFUL flowers, leaves and vines.

THANK YOU

Nancy had gone mad with felt and come up with some delightful work, if not on the textile totems then on objects or plaster molds of her feet.
