The Southern Women's Show … You could win a BIG PRIZE!

 

CHA and WHERE WOMEN CREATE are going to be a big part of the Southern Women’s Show this Thursday, October 13th-Sunday the 16th in Orlando.

The WWCreate team of demonstrators includes: Kathy Cano-Murillo – The Crafty Chica – and ILovetoCreate; Cathie Filian and Plaid; Cindy Cloward and Jina Barney of Riley Blake Designs; Leigh Standley of Curly Girl Design; and Shea Fragoso and Debbie Murray and A Gilded Life.

This is the first time that I have participated in a consumer show and I am so pleased that we have been invited to be part of an event that is as successful as this one.

I flew to Charlotte to meet the team at the Southern Women’s Show and was more than impressed. They are not only very good at their jobs but they are the essence of Southern hospitality and charm. It was such an honor for them to ask WHERE WOMEN CREATE to host the stage on which all of the CHA and handmade demonstrations will take place.

If you are close to Orlando, you must come to the event! If you are not, then we will update you daily as to all that is happening!

Visit their website: http://www.southernshows.com/wor/ and see EVERYTHING that will be part of these 4 days. Hope to see you there!

Much love always, Jo

Amy Flynn

Big News for WWC blog readers! You could win something wonderful from your favorite artist! Simply comment on the featured artists post, then we will randomly draw a name from all of the comments received. We will let you know with each post when the contest will end and when we'll announce the winner. We're starting with our next artist, Amy Flynn. She has generously donated a signed, limited edition 2010 FOBOTS calendar! The contest starts today and will end on Wednesday, November 18th at Midnight (MST). We'll announce the winner on Thursday the 19th. Good luck! Now, let me introduce you to Amy Flynn …


Amy Flynn is one of those artists who make you smile and shake your head in wonder. I met her at CHA a couple of years ago. Her booth with her art had cute greeting card stuff. I took her business card and put it in my files. When we decided to photograph in Raleigh, North Carolina, I called her to see if she would let us shoot her studio for the magazine. I was pretty sure that anyone who drew “cute stuff” would have a “cute studio”!

We arrived and when we walked into her living room, the first thing we see is a fireplace mantel filled with these fabulous, creative, funny robots.

I asked her about them, and she took us upstairs and told us her story … which is exactly what WHERE WOMEN CREATE is all about.

And then her studio was such a wonderful surprise! The walls were this dark periwinkle blue color and had Fobots drawn all over them. Everything was perfectly organized. It was amazing and different and a sheer delight.

I love Amy, I love her Fobots — she made me my very own — and I love knowing someone who is so resilient, so talented, and so full of imagination!

FYI: A Fobot is a Found Object Robot.
