That time of year...



March and Iditarod:

There is nothing like March in Alaska. The sun is back, there is tons of snow, the scenery is majestic, and it's the start of the Iditarod. The race started out last Saturday and the front runners are making headlines. The old faithfuls with experience are keeping towards the back and letting the youngsters have their glory before they move on up. Always a fun race to watch from the back of my computer screen. For all the information on what's going on check out www.adn.com or www. iditarod.com.

We got class:

The Philip Dickel Basket Museum and Gallery of West Amana, IA has asked me to submit to their 2009 exhibit of Basketry/Artist Teacher Baskets. Scheduled for May 25,2009 to October 5, 2009 it is an exhibit to celebrate national teachers of basketry and their classes. Located at the Broom and Basket Shop in West Amana, IA. Very cool.
