sneak peek of project on the worktable

I don't think I ever shared this little sweetie...I was able to treat myself this last October at ART IS YOU to a night class with JoAnnA Pierotti.  This was a really fun project that I immensely enjoyed and JoAnna is awesome.  As an instructor and vendor, I usually do not have a second to even breathe but we made it happen - time to just sit and play.
