Harlene was able to reserve her community clubhouse for the March Phoebe meeting. What a great place for us to meet! It was a beautiful warm and sunny day. The lovely venue was perfect for our meeting, show and tell, and the "Tiny Pin" enrichment session led by Anne.

Anne had sent everyone copies of Deb Shitil's patterns and instructions before the meeting, A big thanks to Deb for sharing them with us! Most Phoebes had cut out and stuffed the body parts so Anne could start tutoring the methods of sewing, assembling, and decorating the tiny figures. Some were people, others were animals, and each one was unique and adorable. It was an intensive amount of work and a test of manual dexterity, as well as time consuming. Most people took theirs home to finish. We hope we can see them completed at the next meeting. Thank you, Anne, for all the time and effort spent to enrich all of us!

Colleen has been having a great deal of fun pouring various types of paint on ceramic tiles, which are then coated to permanently seal. She has also been pouring paint on white canvas backgrounds. These five tile photos are absolutely fantastic!

Sally shared her wonderful and whimsical painting of "Walking Houses" with us.
Betts celebrated Valentine's Day with an Anna Corba class. Anna supplied antique tea dyed baby dresses which each person decorated with items chosen from a multitude of vintage treasures Anna offered.
Betts had three nested boxes which she embellished with French papers, sheet music, French stamps, and vintage flowers. Perfect for storing her stamp collection.
Caroline brought packages of the tiny shoes to share with the pin makers. Sally cut out these cute animal graphics to give to Suzanne R, our "Animal Expert" who volunteers as a docent at the Oakland Zoo.
Sally displayed one of her latest art journals.
Each and every page is an original work of art.
Her creative imagination is always amazing.
Daisy exhibited a felted bird she just made, which pretty much matches the little house with sunflowers that Geri felted. The house will be part of a tiny scene in a teacup she is currently working on.
Sue is displaying her pretty felted bead necklace and several of her tiny pins.
