I have been finishing up on a couple of special orders and decided to take a walk out to our mailbox on Saturday and this is what was waiting for me...
My friend Joy Osterland, made this apron of Joy, Patricia and me. Now, how did I come to know these ladies...well, about 5 or 6 years ago, I use to teach art classes, until I got sick 3 years ago, and in one of my classes, I met these two ladies. Now, you know how you attend a class and you meet someone that you connect with and they just make your day brighter? Well, these ladies did that for me. They are so funny to be with and this past October as I was heading out to Art and Soul, in Portland, Oregon, little did we know, that we were all on the same flight heading there. So, you can imagine our surprise and then to find out the we were actually sitting by each other. Now, talk about God's hand in this one. Long story short, we had a blast...now, if you talk to them, they will tell you stories about me and how driving with me, will require a shot of something strong...lol I am not a bad driver, it just seems that anyone that hangs out with me, whether we are in a car or just hanging out somewhere, we tend to get ourselves into things...nothing bad (elevators, cars, restaurant's, classes, people flashing certain things), just situations that will keep you laughing or feel like you need a strong drink. So, little did I know that Joy who is a Realtor, also does sewing on the side. She makes these aprons with images of people and in this case, one with the 3 of us. Far as I know, she doesn't have a blog, but if you are interested in her work, you can contact her at; J & R Designs at rosterland810@sbcglobal.net Now, how cool is this, I love it...I will wear this proudly! Thanks, Joy! I think I am going to call this the 3 diva's...lol
Well, back to finishing up my orders. Hope everyone is having a bright and sunny day!
Nothing like a surprise waiting for you in the mail box! The thoughtfulness. Makes your head and heart all buzzy happy with joy. Thanks for the inside scoop on the 3 diva's friendship!
