Going Live on instagram - That is what Anna Esposito, Adelaide Santini, and myself are doing!  I didn't even freak out when I started, thanks to Anna's good training.

​February 10th - Tuesday, will be our next LIVE with Maria D'Anna, an IADR Fiber Artist.  Plus we will talk more about the upcoming workshops at the IADR Art Doll Convention in May and about inviting friends and family to come to the two days of the exhibiting part of the convention.  You know they get to come in FREE!
