I'm finally getting back to daily life after the craziness of our show this weekend. It was a grand success, shockingly so in this economy. I think we were all holding our breath going into it this year. This is the second year we've done such a big show at the Multnomah Art Center. We take over the gym and, in a few hours, turn it from a white box into a winter wonderland. Last year we collected, hauled and painted 60 doors to use as backdrops for our displays. Each artist decorates her space in silver, cream and white to tie the show together. I made fabric garlands out of mixed cream and white fabrics for mine:
My freeform crochet baskets sold out again this year. I've enjoyed making them, but think I'm done, at least for a while:
One of my favorite things was my silver tree with my raggedy birds, but I couldn't get a good photo of it. Here's a glimpse:
It's really thrilling to be a part of such a great art group. We've been meeting for almost 5 years now and have become a sort of sisterhood. The show has become the crowning glory of our year and a big celebration for us. I was finishing my set-up minutes before the doors opened and was only able to get pictures of my own booth, but there are some great photos on our group blog if you'd like to see more.

Congratulations on your succesful show-and looking at those gorgeous crocheted baskets I can see why they sold out. What a lovely thing to be able to do with friends.
