"Trunk Show" at the "Just Cross Stitch" Store 2011
April 16, 2011
Despite the rainy and depressing day, some ladies braved the storm and came to the Trunk Show to see the models on display of my work, purchased some charts and came to greet me.
Thank you to the ladies for their support and kind words. My thanks to Carolyn, owner of the "Just Cross stitch" store who hosted the show and did a wonderful display of my work.
Of course, my thanks also to Dinah; my sister who created a beautiful cookie mold for the occassion. She carved the "Fraktur Bird I" which is my logo, to make the mold for the cookie, baked the cookies and painted each cookie so beautifully. They are just too pretty to eat!
My little one, Ian was also my support. He hang out with me for the afternoon, greeted some guests, did a lot of sketches and shared ideas for what could be my next project. Thanks, Ian.
