V.P. Kamala Harris & Crocheting

  "The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills. The title of this story is called, "Vice President Harris is Making Her Mark on the Washington-Area Crochet Scene" by Jura Koncius.

I enjoyed reading this article and seeing the craft community get some well deserved national attention. Take a look at this story and see what you think.

If you need some knitting or crochet resources, check our my "Fiber Arts" page here on Inspired Me 411. HERE  

Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!

    I read about that too - so great! I knit and crochet. I am so happy to hear that she crochets - not sure why but hearing that over knitting just makes me happy...maybe because you read/hear more about knitting so I am glad to see crochet get the approval of the VP! I would love to see some of the afghans she made.

      Yes, I would love to see some of her afghans, too. She just got more "cool" points from me knowing she is a crafter! LOL! Thanks for visiting!

New Art Collection & Video

Today, I am thrilled to share with you my new art collection called "Inspired Blooms." These 16 painting were made this year, 2024. Last April, we attended a fantastic floral exhibit at South Coast Plaza Mall and I was so inspired. Shortly after this show, I sat down at my art table and starting creating my floral joys.  In this video you will see the Inspired Garden Girls, a portrait and 12 floral arrangements. Check out the video.  Video Link Here Painting these flowers these last four months has filled my heart with such comfort and joy. I hope these happy "Inspired Blooms" bring a smile to your face and peace to your heart like I experienced. Feel free to share this video with a friend, too. Let's spread the flower power! :)
