Don’t forget to come out to the Nannen Arboretum for a walk in Ellicottville on Sunday, we’ll be along the way, doing our thing.

Classes ahead of me this coming week in the community both on Allegany and Cattaraugus Territories. Both required sign ups and classes were filled!

Then I’ll be up at the Niagara Power Authority for their Wildlife Days. It’s always a good time. A busy time with young folks. I’m expecting a poster soon.

Seems the fall is a very busy time, I always think it’ll slow down soon but that doesn’t seem so. Ah, well, glad for all the experiences I get on my journey. Make it a good one! Hope to see you soon.

Seneca Fall Fest went off without any problems. We had a Community Basket that was a collaboration of anyone who stopped by and spoke to us and wanted to weave a round. They signed their name and added to the beautiful multi colored barrel shaped basket. In the end, we had 41 participants contribute.

Next up for me this upcoming weekend, I’ll be with my sister at the Nannen Arboretum in Ellicottville, NY visiting with the public and working on some of my baskets. My sister will be showing her corn husk dolls. If you’re in the area stop by and say hello, should be a good day!

Enjoy the weather while we got it!

Here’s the beauty we created together!

I had talked with Deb Everts, from the Salamanca Press in May at the Routes to Art and we made a date to do an interview on my artwork. She came through and I’ve only heard good words so far. I was pleased to be featured and really do like to share. It also featured in the Olean Times Herald.

So, just in case you missed it. Here’s the link.
