I'm halfway through Jumbo's Pride, by Anny Noben-Slegers  (part of  Pride of
Africa, I think).  Got it from Anny at teachers' night at IOLI in Denver,
because it shows elephants which my mother collects.  I'm hoping to finish
it to enter in the biennial Albuquerque Fiber Arts Fiesta in May, but the
photo of the finished piece is due with the entry in mid March.  I've been
learning Flanders for over a year now, but this is definitely stretching.
Fortunately I read diagrams well.

Have signed up for Michael Giusiana's Binche course at Sweet Briar, so I'll
find out what mistakes I've made, then make it again with finer thread.
Working out a scheme for a portable block pillow to take there, involving
fabric sides and a foam core base, that will fold down to fit in the
suitcase.

Also halfway through a Flanders handkerchief edging, the next to last
project in my teacher's Flanders sequence .  Planning for the piece to enter
for IOLI.  And started a feather and fan knitted shawl for our Prayer Shawl
ministry at church, as an easy portable project.  No tatting at the moment.
The Shuttle Brothers three dimensional rose workshop was cancelled in
January for snow, to be rescheduled.

Beth in the high desert of Albuquerque, New Mexico (50 miles from Santa Fe),
wondering if we'll get any more snow this winter, total of over 40 inches
since the week before Christmas
