As is our tradition, December’s blog post is a show case for one of my handmade ornaments. Unlike most of the ornaments that have previously been chosen to be featured, this ornament is unusual, in that it is….fifty years old! It reaches back to my early years of fiber art interests. I handmade this candle ornament when I was 11!
This year’s ornament can be seen in an image below, along with a brief message about what the new year is bringing!
I wish you all a Happy Holidays, and a very Happy New Year! Looking ahead to 2023, I hope that I will be able to see some of you in person. I have plans to teach at the following rug schools:
Maryland Shores Rug School, which runs from April 2-7, at The Grand Hotel Ocean City, MD
Hunterdon County Rug Artisans Guild Rug Camp, which runs from July 31-August 4, at St Anna’s Greek Orthodox Church, Flemington, NJ
Rugs by the Sea, which runs from September 10-15, at Chalfonte Hotel Cape May, NJ (contact Shelley Lencioni shelley@iloverughooking.com)
ATHA 1 North Rug School, which runs in October, at The Common Man Inn and Spa, Plymouth, NH. (contact Pam Bartlett redhorserugs@comcast.net)

Lovely ornament! Merry Christmas and a very Happy, healthy New Year!
