Captain's Notes

 (cuff from loftfullofgoodies, please click image to see listing)

Happy Friday everyone!  

I am sorry I missed you all last week, we were feverishly working on getting ready for last weekend's art festival and I missed my weekly post!

Its been a low-key two weeks for the team.  Some folks are gearing up for the Summer festival circuit and others are meeting new goals in their sales and shops (Congrats Gretchen)!

I want to welcome our new members skryanka, graceandlight, bradleybb, and loftfullofgoodies.  We are happy to have you all on our team!  

That's all for now from the captain front.  Now time to share you weekly goodies!

Captain's Post

(coffee time by new member thistinyexistance)

Hey there team!

I started to wonder if I would ever get the chance to post a message to you all today in light of blogger's issues over the past two days.

I want to start out by saying a hearty "Thank You" to Gretchen for all the hard work she did in getting the team redirected and facilitating so much new involvement from our members!  Gretchen left me pretty well set up...so taking on this new role has been a breeze so far.

I also want to say "Thank you" so the members who have been so welcoming and positive about the change over in leadership and a special word to stitchnmomma for taking over our weekly treasury post!   

First order of team business that Gretchen and I had briefly discussed during our passing over of duties was our social networking for the team.  I think we might all like to see more going on in this area and I would like to get team thoughts and ideas on ways to make this more of a presence in our team promotion.  

I am admittedly not much of a facebook person and I don't twit (gasp!)...so I am not sure if I have the expertise to man this alone.  

Feel free to comment in this post with ideas or convo me personally so I can present them to the team leaders for consideration.  I will also start a thread on the team page for those who don't regularly read the blog (although I hope we all do)

That's all for now...have a great weekend!

Please let us all see what you are working on and post a link to new work here!

Weekly Treasury Post Brought to You By juneatnoon

Good Morning and Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!

Somehow I totally missed the opportunity to create a Green-Themed Treasury for today...sigh.

This week I wanted to share another team member treasury this time created by no other than our fearless leader Juneatnoon.  You can fine her lovely treasury here.

I hope you all are having a wonderful week and are busily working on your Blue creations for next Friday (I know I am!)

Til next Wednesday!

♥, Pilous

First up is juneatnoon our wonderful New Captain.

Q.  Tell us a bit about yourself and your shop.


A.  Hi! My name is Gretchen! I love to make things, and I have a hard time sticking to just one medium.  My current passions, though, are embroidery and digital illustration.


Q.  What or Who inspires you? 


A.  My kids are always inspiring, their energy, their way of seeing things. My husband is such a huge support and pushes me to believe in myself. There are so many fiber (and other) artists whose works inspire me and energize me to keep at it. And sunglight--it is so essential to me, and when there's lots of it, I have more motivation to create!

Q.  When you're not doing things for your shop, where can we find you around the net?

A.  Blog: www.juneatnoon.com

Twitter: www.twitter.com/juneatnoon

Q.   Just for fun tell us your favorite color.

A.  I've always loved red, but right now my current favorites are green and yellow, and which one tops the list changes on any given day!
