 THIRTEEN Artists attended the TAGY Holiday Party in the Grizzly Room at the Cody Library:  Kimberly (guest), Cyndy, Alice, Judy, Ben, Carol, Pam, Jan W., Barb P., Jan H., Barb M., Carly and Lili.

Each artist introduced themselves and were asked to tell what their New Year resolutions are (if they had one).  I am writing them below so we can remember!!

Cyndy: reorg, UFO list
Kimberly: Reorg, UFO list
Alice: Declutter EVERYTHING!
Ben: Step back, reorg., make time for Ben
Carol: UFO's, get better at everything
Lili: Revamp studio, chair yoga
Pam: Explore all the stuff she's gathered up
Jan W.:  No resolutions (she's being realistic!)
Barb P.: No resolutions, but rethink everything
Jan H.:  Learn Featherweight machine, advance knitting skills 

Announcements & Show and Tell:
  • Barb M. said Fall River Fibers has supplies for felting (in Hot Springs, SD)

Barb shows cigar box she was re-purposing

The lid of the cigar box didn't fit afterwards!  It absorbed too much paint and expanded!

This should be in Show and Tell, but my computer won't let me move it!  Carol completed the top of her holiday quilt.  Yeah!  It's flannel and cozy!







Quilts were hung in the library after the luncheon.  Thank you to all who helped, especially Lili for running to Walmart, and Judy for ladder-duty!





THE END!
