I hope that your Thanksgiving holiday this year was filled with family, friends and food! (and a bit of time for yourself to shop, sew, sculpt, or paint).
We had an excellent weekend. All three of our sons were home for Thanksgiving. We also got to see many of their childhood friends, who were in town for the holiday and came over to our house to hang out with the guys.
My youngest son, Colin, who is an illustrator and editor (he’s current living in Brooklyn and working in Manhattan), did some photo shop work for me which helped me launch my Spun Cotton Ornament Journal over weekend.
I am very thankful to have such great students and customers, you are all the very BEST! Thank you! I look forward to talking to you in the coming year, as you enrich my life with your creative spirits.
These photos are actually from a couple of years ago when the New York Times was at our house doing an article on Open Hearth Cooking. This photo shows their photographer in action.
My name is Paula Walton. I’m a working craftsperson. I’ve been self-employed since 1986, when I started selling the items that I make under the name A Sweet Remembrance. Among other things, I am a doll maker, a dressmaker that specializes in reproduction women’s and children’s clothing, maker of spun cotton ornaments and holiday figures, and a freelance designer. Upon occasion I write magazine articles and am a Craftsperson in Residence. I teach and do demonstrations quite frequently, plus I was previously the director and curator of a small museum in Connecticut.
