Lovely October

What an exciting week! The trees are turning my most favorite colors AND there’s more chocolate on the market at this time of the year than any other thanks to Halloween! What could be better?

If you haven’t been to Tucson, it’s a top 10 MUST-See before ya die event!
Loads of gems and jewels as well as 5 beads shows hit this town in Feb! Strolling through the Swarovski gallery is well worth the trip alone but I gotta say their workshops rock!

NEW BELLE ARMOIRE FEATURE
I am honored to be featured in the new issue of BA http://www.bellearmoire.com
I discuss The Art & Business of Beads & Baubles. I have been inspired by this magazine since I created my first fruit loop necklace and it’s a thrill to be a part of their beautiful publication.

OFF TO QUILT…
Some very fun prep work going on in my studio for the big Quilt Festival in Houston next month! http://www.quilts.com
I have been snipping silks, bagging bling and fondling fiber getting the kits ready for my classes and WOW are my students in for a BLAST! I can’t wait for the event and love every minute spent with the Quilting Crowd. Still a few spots left in my classes; check out my website for pretty pictures: http://www.KristalWick.com

GO HUG SOME TREES
Guess I live too close to Boulder, the fall makes me want to hug a tree! Remember the smell and feel of the air in the fall when we were kids? I grew up in the Midwest so those Minnesota falls had some of the most beautiful color combinations I’ve ever seen. Here in Colorado we get that golden aspen glow with a touch of red here and there, but none of it compares to those New England falls! WOW, I miss living in Boston and taking road trips to Vermont- they were the BEST! Every year at this time I crave a “leaf peeping” trip in that corner of the world. Maybe next year!
What are your fondest childhood fall memories?

Enjoy…
