Art Class


Mixed Media class every Thursday morning. Enjoyable, as usual!
Here's a picture of my teacher Mary Tomaskevitch. A very inspiring teacher.
I think Karen Langer Baker did this painting.

Proofs of new book


The proofs just came for our latest book "Stitchin' Retro".
The designs look like they would be fun to stitch.
Nancy's titles are really cute
and Steve's photography is very nice.
Jeri did a great job on the stitching.

Amy's movie "Juan Frances Live"


March 14-
We went to the San Diego Latino Film Festival to see Amy French's
great new film"Juan Frances Live" starring her brother Spencer.
We loved it. Nancy's friend, Margie went with us and she
loved it, too, and she was completely unbiased.
It was "laugh-out-loud "funny. We're so proud of Amy.
We were also impressed with her brother's acting.
It was subtle but outrageously funny.
Amy's boyfriend, David, was also in it. He was not so subtle
but hilarious, none the less.
A thoroughly enjoyable movie experience.
Here's a picture of Nancy and Amy.

We also met a friend of Amy's family named Michael Allin, who's
a screenwriter and wrote a book called Zurafa . It sounds like a very interesting
book. We'll check it out for our book club.
Here's the website for the film; http://juanfranceslive.com/

Knitting Lesson


Nancy took her first knitting class on Wednesday the 12th.
She knitted a very, very long scarf.
It's very long because she doesn't
know how to stop.
How can we turn this into a book?
