Last week marked the 2010 Ann Arbor Art Fairs. As usual, it was hot. Unfortunately, there were also some severe storms. We did manage to see a lot of the fairs on Wednesday night. We were particularly enamored with (and ended up purchasing) this photo of a Scottish Highland bull from Joel Anderson. I think that it will look great in a kitchen nook. I also really liked these sheep. We also picked up a hand-carved whale on wheels for L.
On Saturday I dropped by Blue House, a handmade studio in Ann Arbor, to check out MittenMADE, a 2-day craft event featuring artists from Michigan. I really liked the wellie prints from sloe gin fizz and the letterpress cards and posters from Elevated Press.

But I am really excited about the workshops offered at Blue House. The deadline for my list is looming (don't worry, it is almost complete), and I have spent a lot of time thinking about the things that make me happy (other than O and L, of course). Handmade things (edible or not) are way up there and appear in multiple places on the list. One thing that I'd like to do is sew something. That's right; I am keeping it simple. I think that the Beginners Quilting Series at Blue House sounds like the perfect fit.
