Weekly Aspirations

Easter dinner went well with family and friends coming together over food and great conversation. Topics included how do you think?  Do you have an internal monologue with pictures or just a narrative or both, finding indigenous civilizations located in PA, current reads, my Father's Journeyman's challenge and heritage. 
My Father's talented wife Jeanette, owner of Oma's Quilting, brought me a beautiful table runner for Easter that she made!  You can see this lovely gift below, above my signature.

The 2022 PACE Program kicked-off last week for Juried Craft, Visual and Food Artisan members of the Wilds Cooperative of PA!  For 5 weeks, two days a week, my time will be filled with how to scale and leverage my artisan business for the future.
