Dear Sugarloaf Community,
Finally! After a couple weeks of frigid temperatures, the East Coast has seen a
brief reprieve from the cold. Temperatures even crept past 50 degrees yesterday
in some of our Sugarloaf cities. But I have looked at the weather reports - temperatures
will be on a roller coaster for the rest of the month with unpredictable highs and
lows.
The cold weather is good news for lots of craft lovers, who love bundling up with
something soft and warm, or cooking a warm meal. They will have their first chance
of the season to see what's new next week in Chantilly, Virginia, when the Spring
season of Sugarloaf Crafts Festivals officially begins!
Here are some of our favorite artists who will keep you as snug as a bug in a handmade
rug!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Barbara Bass: Barbara's versatile wraps and scarves are woven using all natural
fibers and can be worn numerous ways to create a variety of looks. Her meticulous
weaving and knitwork is complemented by rich accents, including colorful fringe,
beading, and feathers. (www.barbarabass.com [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102954768825&s=51627&e=001Nzjo6iGlUARdFGDjQZWyhE6GPNyaqXktOthld9iMrj-RtOkK8ufSZqoWBpVdOXBmvZU74bkvFaUnabA9JLwptT7T8yyOuLIcj-tXT5S13EAsCCjXBRuJzg==])
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eric Zumwalt and Jeanne Scott: Partners in craft and in life, the Scotts create
tea kettles and cups, goblets, and mugs embellished with leaf designs and swirling
patters. Their beautiful objects are a fun and stylish way to drink your favorite
warm beverage this season. (www.bestofmissourihands.com/gonetopotceramics.htm [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102954768825&s=51627&e=001Nzjo6iGlUAQBSbKM080BUqOhghZ8ORHeHNuuzmGbfNNs-Wd0xfTS-Tufx9LEleZ3mI5NwaIFD_oOfZTq_kbcGpgjtsVYQLJtf4Zbr6nhO10MaECLvjXmXpaOFdhk37qQOVZPSiAxHL9WhRirF6I0uUYQQOfocBvG])
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Helen Hamann: Crafted using luxurious alpaca, Helen's extensive line of clothing
and outerwear, including cardigans, shawls, and coats, are smartly-designed in
asymmetrical cuts to create contemporary silhouettes. (www.helenhamann.com [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102954768825&s=51627&e=001Nzjo6iGlUAQK4zUOwboYNsi1xQ4aToe8Uc1mX9M2NcnW4OUwZw9A1r7M8JpMF25sdcbf-7sJJRGO5bNjaz-g6Ct-PdckHoVu2VIhjtVxjtO-SI8p2QpBdw==])
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ed Kidera: Metal sculptor Ed Kidera is best known for his playful outdoor sculptures
and distinctive bells made from scrap metal and spent oxygen tanks, but he also
makes beautiful andirons and fireplace screens to adorn your hearth. (www.kiderafineart.com
[http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102954768825&s=51627&e=001Nzjo6iGlUAT74imsLr9t9cWnhk40AQgGhwXwLjCReeWtcDwuYR3nKcs9PZW_QpxGbH-NzuO0hW9cZ_bcipAmEY1PoVufkhQYWn3Y_psfGMUInkSaFNkLqw==])
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Josephine Mitchell: Piping hot tea and warm libations always taste better in winter,
and with Josephine's exotic mulled spices, they absolutely burst with flavor from
her mix of spices and fruits. The mulling spices create layers of flavors in teas,
wines, or brandy to enjoy as wassail on these cold nights.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cindy Walsh: Cindy's line of more than 20 jackets, wraps, hats, and gloves keep
the cold out in style. They are made using insulating chenille, fleece, and Polartek
fabrics - the nature-inspired ultrasuede accents add sophistication to her creations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tom Phelps: "All eyes" are on Tom's assortment of ceramic caricature mugs and kettles.
With big eyes, funny noses, and wide grins, his whimsical pieces use wry humor to
make them a joy to look at, and to drink from. (www.potterystuff.com [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102954768825&s=51627&e=001Nzjo6iGlUAS_Ylo0wb4yVJs-bV6fDaPpfuEVznfaomYuKdGh-s7j5SMeb220GSNLN-DHwZbpm6IuGfrhMqGAFK8LI8YebSAnhlsw-jr9R0RapGztQSM4AA==])
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ryan Williamson: While Ryan's fleece hats come in a variety of colors, his primary
focus is "green." He can fit the excess fabric from an entire production year into
a small shopping bag. For over 15 years, Ryan has kept 55,000 heads warm with his
eclectic headgear, from headbands and snowcaps to hats shaped like dogs, dinosaurs,
and bears for the little ones.
