August and Sept have been a full time ball of late summer and joy.

The weather has never been better since we moved to Maine.

Bless the sun. Bless the shine.

My work shop Aug 1-15 @ Haystack was really fun.
Our workshop in the metals studio was called "Material Practices".

We used a new material each day to make jewelry.

Paper day

Textile Day

Wood Day

Plastic Day

The Second week employed metal and what ever

materials students wanted to go back to.

Reg my awesome TA came early for a visit.

We got to go for a ride in John's car.

There were 2 wonderful weddings in August:

congratulations and Blessings to Z and A

Congratulations and Blessings to M and F

Our mini vacation with K and J on Vinalhaven was excellent

There was a terrible fire in the Village this month

thankfully no one got hurt.

And I am sending a special thanks and LOL (lots of love)

to J-fay. The queen of hostessing.
