I’m on the move- first, I’m working my way back up to my attic room, back to my collections and goodies. Somehow it is always a huge mess when I want to go back… hmmm, I wonder how that happened! Well, it gives me a chance to go through all the stuff again; sort fabric, reorganize the lace, buttons and beads. That’s what I was doing today. And looking for supplies for the doll I’m working on. Lace, buttons, fasteners.
and second- Next week I’ll be going out of town for a few days- college trip with kid #2. We will be in Chicago next Tuesday night, 4/12 and Minneapolis 4/13 til Saturday 4/16. Any suggestions of places that shouldn’t be missed? I’ve never been to Minneapolis before- I’m looking forward to it.

Ed Dibevicks is a cool retro dinner with really zany rude outgoing waiters and waitresses. I love the Art Mueseum too. In Chicago.
I live in Minneapolis and love it here, there is so much going on in general. Check out the Textile Center on University Ave. between Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Heart of the Beast is a community puppet theater on Lake Street in south Minneapolis that is currently running workshops to prepare for its annual may day parade. Hundreds of people of all sorts gather to make puppets and masks out of cardboard and papier mache, take a half hour to stop in if you have a chance, the creativity and energy are amazing. Have a great visit.
