Good morning! I have not posted for awhile so I want to share some pictures of the work I have been doing. I have been busy at Bridge Street Art and Gifts in Chippewa Falls as one of the 12 artists. It is great meeting new people and working with my colleagues. Hopefully my health issues will resolve and I will have more time and energy to do what is important and inspiring to me. Our new addition is moving along nicely finally. I pray that you all have a blessed Christmas and a great 2024.

What a great day we had at the Folk’s Art Festival at the Chippewa Valley museum on Saturday - thirteen needle felters, great conversation, gorgeous pictures, and new friendships! I feel motivated and inspired. Thank you to all who participated in the needle felting, bought items, and supported my work in any way. It was so heartwarming to have needle felters that have participated in needle felting every year I have been at the Folk Art Festival. Unfortunately I missed a few pictures!

Good morning! I am busy getting ready for the Folk Art Festival at the Chippewa Valley Museum this Saturday, February 25 from 12:00 to 5:00 pm. I will be offering work shops where you will be able to needle felt a 5x7 picture. I will have 2 samples that you can follow or you can choose your own picture. Cost is $5.00. I will supply everything you need. It will take you about an hour to complete. I will also bring some of my felted creations that you can purchase. Below are a few examples. Hope to see you there.

I am excited to announce that I am now a member of the Valley Art Gallery on Bridge Street in Chippewa Falls. This is a co-op of twelve artists who create beautiful works of art. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful as I start this new journey. I am looking forward to getting to know the artists and learning from them. Below are examples of the beautiful art you can purchase and enjoy in your home or give as gifts. Check out our page Valley Art Gallery.

I, like most people, am so upset with all the violence. The school children and teachers in Uvaldi touched my heart. Out of my tears came this bowl honoring the 19 students and 2 teachers. I haven’t named it yet and I don’t know what I will do with it. For now I look at it and pray that our children will be safe and we will finally find the strength and courage to make it better. The butterfly is a symbol of spiritual rebirth, hope, change, new beginnings and life. From a broken heart arises 21 beautiful spirits of hope and renewal. Let’s not let them down!

Good morning. I am horrified and enraged by the atrocities that Russia has inflicted on the Ukrainian people. I feel frustrated, sad and useless that I cannot help. Frustrated that it seems the world stands by and let’s this happen. I know there is action occurring to help but the atrocities continue.

My daughter, Sarah Decker-Paul and John Walton have decided to step up to the plate and help. They know that many people can do more together than just a few alone. They are raising money to support the World Central Kitchen, a wonderful charity providing hot meals for displaced people around the world. They have started a group Gather for Good to facilitate their work.

Sarah and John are sponsoring a fund raising event at Lydia’s Interiors on May 26th from 5-9 pm. To find more information about this event check out Gather for Good page. There will be raffles and many fun activities. If you are unable to attend but wish to donate see below.

I am donating three of my pieces to the raffles I designed especially for this fundraiser. I call them my Ukrainian support bowls/ vessels. They are all crocheted using 100% wool then shrunk using the wet felting technique. I then needle felted pictures of sunflowers and nightingales the Ukranian national flower and bird. They will be raffled at the fundraiser at Lydia’s Interiors on May 26th.
I will post pictures of the pieces separately.

This is the site to donate directly to World Central kitchen through Gather for Good.
