Sunshine today—and I’m soaking it up! After so many gray winter days, a warm spot of light feels extra precious. NEW PIECES These are being released to you before they appear on my website or on Facebook and Instagram. If you’re interested in any piece, reply to this email and we can talk details. Spring Blossoms Ikebana-inspired fiber sculpture wall hanging 20" x 14" Let me know if you'd like to see more in this style. Birch bark pieces are popular, and I love making them! Both are wall hangings. Woodland Wonder Embroidered sculpture of red parasol mushrooms on real birch bark 12" x 8" Little Woodland Marvel Embroidered sculpture of orange parasol mushrooms on real birch bark 10" x 10"  Personal Project I’m experimenting with embroidery on Paper Source paper. Stitches need to be spaced intentionally so the paper doesn’t tear—making this a new and mindful challenge. I’ll create one new 5x5 a month for the year 2026 EXHIBITS

The new year feels full of promise, and I’m beginning it with a milestone: the completion of my 2025 Gratitude Journal. Over the past year, I stitched 156 small “pennies,” each freehanded to represent something I was grateful for that week. Some months had 10 "pennies" some had 8. Some months asked more of me than others, yet these little circles traveled with me—portable, grounding, and deeply meaningful. To accompany the piece, I hand-bound a small book gathering the stories and meanings behind each symbol. Now the finished work hangs in our living room, a gentle reminder to carry gratitude into the year ahead. What I’m excited about in the year ahead: • An upcoming exhibit featuring birds—such an honor to be invited! • Waiting to see if I was accepted into a few new indoor festivals • Hoping for another Regrant this year • Getting my tax prep finished and off my plate • Designing new classes to share at various locations • And most importantly, creating lots of new artwork! The first sculpture of 2026! Amanita Mushroom will be available soon on the website. Contact me if you are interested in it.
