Syracuse- a Show and a LOT of Inspiration!

This is one picture of part of the front of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. So many details in this building.

I was taking photos as it was getting dusk, after one of the days of the show. I also have some great detail shots of windows, and doors more close up.

To show how observant I was…. I didn't even see this garden the night I set up. I was so busy with unpacking the van and getting things put together, and working the show the first day, that I did not see this garden till the next evening! It was not far at all from my space, and I walked right by it as I walked from my van in the parking lot.

I love the shrub in the center of the flowers.

Some more interesting building details- There are so many things going on here.

It's amazing to me the details and ornamentation put into these buildings.

A great window.

More interesting window details.

There were many groups traveling around the show area, entertaining the crouds. This group was super! I could not believe the sound that those instruments made. They looked like they were having so much fun performing. It sounded like a group of wind instruments playing. One perk of vending at shows like this- I get to see various performances that I never would have the opportunity to see otherwise.

Now that the stuff that got wet is dry and repacked, #1 son is leaving for home tomorrow, I will have one day before for the demonstration of fabric painting I will be doing this Saturday. I will be in Owego, NY- not too far away, and Ken may be home from Maine, by the time I get home. Then in less than 2 weeks, the last boy flies the nest. I can hope things will be calmer in the coming weeks, but I'm not counting on it. I have only one free weekend before the end of August. I guess that will keep me creating, with deadlines every week. I seem to work better with deadlines.

Next post will be totally quilt related- I finally have finished my Grab Bag Challenge piece for The Fiber Alliance group I am a member of. The most beading I have ever done on a quilt. I need to try again to get a good photo of the finished piece. I documented the entire process, from contents of the bag, to finish.
