Sunset Kayaking

Last evening Hannah decided she wanted to take an evening kayak ride.  When she texted me to come to the boat ramp to pick her up the sunset was beautiful.  I had to take a few pictures of God's creation.

                                                   I waited for her to come into view so I could snap this shot.

                                                     Same area before Hannah came into view.

Hannah takes a glass blowing workshop

Hannah began a glass blowing workshop this week.
  She seems to be a natural and is enjoying it.  Her father was a professional glass blower.

 Here she is picking up color.

 Keeping the glass hot and fluid at the furnace.

Shaping the glass with a wet wooden mold type thing.

Hannah made her first sale

Hannah made her first sale today and got an order for a specially dyed shirt.  I'm so proud of her.  I made a little dress and she dyed it a special color combination and they bought that too.  I think it will take off once she gets her name out there.


Hey look I can type on my blog again.  Yippie

Fiber Arts

This is the little sundress I made of muslin fabric.  Hannah died it after I made the outfit instead of dying the fabric.  I like doing it this way better for this application because when she gets done with the dying all I have to do is iron it and my part is done.
Since Hannah is getting into tie dying we decided to just make it part of her school.  We put together a class where she will be doing her tie dying as well as learning to track inventory, order supplies, market, advertise and package her product.  A fun entrepreneur class.

Get your groove on, Hannah

     Hannah has decided she wants to learn to tie dye and try to get good enough at it to make some money.  I think she will end up doing just that because this is her first ever attempt.  I love them. 
     I bought some bleached muslin and I am going to have her tie dye it and then I am going to make some pillowcase dresses, summer beach cover up dresses and boys shorts with the fabric.
     I think she will be really good at this.  No wait she already is.

Years ago I tried tie dye but I never did a spiral.

My daughter with friends of her dad's

This a picture of my daughter Hannah at the funeral dinner with some friends of her late dads. Tina was the only girl in the crowd for years. They were all very happy to see the beautiful girl Hannah is and talk to her about her dad.
