Former First Lady Michelle Obama Is a Knitter!!!

Our former First Lady Michelle Obama is a knitter!!! I saw this post on Instagram and loved to know she, too is a crafter. Check out this article entitled, "Michelle Obama Tells Gayle She Knitted Malia and Sasha Halter Tops" by Monica Chon of Oprah Daily online publication.

Michelle also talked about her knitting achievements on the Rachel Ray Show video.


Isn't this so fascinating? She is not the only famous fiber artist. Our U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris enjoys crocheting. Here is the blog post I wrote about her creative background.  Link HERE

Also, I saw this picture on Instagram of a crocheted mural dedicated to Vice President Harris.  Apparently, several crochet artist helped to complete this mural. This is so awesome!

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! :)

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. Article Link HERE 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.
