I want to thank everyone
who came to the TAODA meeting today. We had some great Show & Tell
and I enjoyed giving the program on Making and Setting Handmade Eyes in
Cloth Dolls. Thank you Tere Perry for pitching in and taking the
minutes.
We had some good
discussion also. It was decided that because it was so well received
last year,our Quilt Festival exhibit this year will be titled Block Party II,
with the same theme which is to incorporate a quilt block in the doll you
make. Beth Casper is taking the sign up list, so please get in touch with
her about making a doll for this show. casperbeth@aol.com
Insurance forms are due August 1.
There are still a
few tickets available for the ODACA Day luncheon,Wednesday, July 16 at the
JW Marriott Hill Country Resort in San Antonio. The souvenir doll, which
each luncheon attendee will receive, is by our own Angela Jarecki! Reason
enough to attend right there! There will also be a centerpiece doll for
each table, which one lucky person at each table will win. There
will be many raffle dolls which you can buy tickets for. Plus an artists
sale before and after the luncheon. It should be a fabulous day!
You can find all the information and buy tickets on the ODACA website: www.odaca.org
Some TAODA members are
talking about carpooling and going just for the day. Linda Butler has offered to drive.
If you are interested in going for the day, contact Linda: LCB4710@aol.com
Finally, I need your
input about the July TAODA meeting. Because of summer vacations and other
commitments, we voted not to have an "official" business meeting
in July. However, we do have the library meeting room reserved (10 a.m.-1
p.m. Saturday, July 12
at the Looscan
Library). If there is enough interest, there can still be an informal
meeting with show and tell, perhaps working on projects, and general
visiting. Please let me know by the end of this month if you are
interested in attending an informal meeting at the library in July. If
there is not enough interest I will cancel the meeting room.
We will definitely be
back in full strength at the August 9 meeting. We should
have some wonderful show and tell with all of those doll conventions this
summer! Bring your dolls from ODACA, UFDC, ADAA, and those you plan to
take to NIADA. Marsha Krohn will present our program: How to
Build a Pedestal. Marsha says, "With this technique you can make a
pedestal any size to suit your doll, whether she will stand on it or sit on it
or even recline on it! Decorate it to suit your theme."
Stay cool, have fun and
be creative!
