The Northeast Kingdom Artisans Guild will present Magic Carpets -- The Rugmaker's Art in its Backroom Gallery from April 27 through June 15. The exhibit will feature some of Vermont's finest rug makers working in a variety of techniques including hooking, braiding, and hand felting.
Anne-Marie Littenburg of Burlington, VT is a self-taught rug hooker who uses a rich pallet of hand-dyed wool to create detailed and "painterly" landscapes. Littenburg's work has been exhibited across the country, and was also recently featured at Mikimoto, a gallery in Tokyo, Japan. A frequent contributor to Rug Hooking Magazine, she recently filmed three episodes of "Uncommon Threads" for the House and Garden Network. Littenbergs' book "Hooked Rugs Landscapes" was published in 2009.
Hooked rugs will also be exhibited by Sunnie Andress of Newport. Andress' original designs feature whimsical people and animals and often playfully incorporate visual puns.
The Magic Carpets exhibit will also feature rug braider, Delsie Hoyt of West Fairlee, VT. Adapting the unusual techniques developed by her Ryegate, VT great grandmother in the early 1900's, Hoyt takes rug braiding to a new level to portray Vermont landscapes. Hoyt's work is featured in "The Braided Rug Book"; and in "A Passion for the Creative Life" by renowned rug hooking artist, Mary Sheppard Burton. Hoyt was awarded the Governor's Heritage Award in 2008 for building links to Vermont's rich and diverse cultural heritage through her art.
Kris McDermet of Dummerston combines the two crafts of hooking and braiding in her work. She has developed a joining technique where the delicacy of the hooking is set off by the boldness of the braiding; and often incorporates open spaces and fancy embellishments to create added interest. McDermet has been teaching both braiding and hooking in Vermont and throughout the country for almost 30 years.
Danville resident Amanda Weisenfeld began felting 20 years ago to create fabric for her felted animals. Over the years she has broadened her felted work to include wall hangings and durable felted rugs from Vermont fleeces. Weisenfeld draws on the woodsy darkness of European fairy tales for her inspiration and often portrays the mythical side of woodland residents including foxes, ravens and gnomes.
Neysa Russo resides in Bradford, VT where she creates beautiful and functional rugs and tapestries using a combination of wet felting and needle felting techniques. With her passion for antique textiles, Russo derives many of her designs and themes from Medieval tapestries and historic needlework and rugs. Russo also incorporates kumihimo, an intricate Japanese braiding technique, in some of her felted pieces.
An opening reception for Magic Carpets will be held Saturday May 7th from 3 to 5 pm. The Northeast Kingdom Artisans Guild (748-0158) is located at 430 Railroad St., St. Johnsbury and is open Monday through Saturday, 10:30-5:30.

Finding the Best Wedding Music Band or DJ for Your Special Event
Undoubtedly, music plays an important part in our lives and it becomes a key factor during our wedding ceremony and reception. Tasteful, melodious, theme-appropriate wedding music goes hand in hand with fabulous colors and amazing decorations, creating a unique, unforgettable ambiance. So how could you find the best band or DJ ensuring a flawless performance for your special event? Use the expert tips provided below to identify the truly talented artists in your area who know more than a thing or two about wedding music, and who could easily turn your reception into a Hollywood musical which you will love to watch over and over again.
#1 Make the necessary arrangements in advance
First of all, decide what kind of artists you would like to perform at your wedding. Would you go in favor of a band ensuring a flawless live show? Or would you opt for a talented DJ playing a great variety of old and new songs, tailored to the tastes and preferences of all your guests? The choice is yours, but keep in mind that, if you want to count on the very best musicians, you have to make the necessary arrangements in advance (contact them at least a year before the big event). Selecting the musicians who will play at your wedding shouldn't be a last-minute decision, so make sure you consider this assignment a top priority.
#2 Ask for high-quality services, flexibility and variety
Always sign a contract with your band or DJ; this will help you avoid unpleasant incidents. Make sure you shake hands with experienced musicians who provide excellent services, who are always open to suggestions and eager to create a unique playlist according to your own likes and dislikes. Do you hate country wedding music and pop tracks? Make sure your performers are fully aware of this fact. Remember the musical chaos generated by Robbie, the grieving performer (interpreted by Adam Sandler) in the fabulous movie entitled "The Wedding Singer"? You definitely want to avoid such an embarrassing episode. This is why you have to count on a real team of experienced professionals, who are extremely flexible and eager to please you no matter what.
#3 Find the perfect entertainer
Should you hire a DJ or a well-known band playing amazingly pleasant wedding music? In the end, the final choice is up to you. Hiring a DJ could cost you less, so if you are eager to organize a beautiful wedding on a tight budget this could be the best option for you. All in all, choose to collaborate with one or more musicians who could easily become the perfect entertainers. So how could you identify the ideal performer? Try to find someone specialized in wedding music and entertainment. The perfect candidate should have an outgoing personality and the ability to interact with all your wedding guests.
#4 Meet the entertainers before signing the contract
So maybe you've heard a lot of amazing things about a certain wedding band or a DJ. But how could you be certain that their performance will exceed your highest expectations? Test their skills before signing the contract. Ask them to send you a demo tape or go to one of their rehearsals. This way you'll make sure that their style, their technical equipment and their unique set of skills are exactly what you've been looking for all along.
Book a wedding music performer in advance, meet him in person, express your preferences and help him create a diverse, tasteful playlist matching your wedding theme. This is the recipe for success when it comes to finding the perfect wedding music for the most special event in your entire life.

Decorative throw pillows in different colors and patterns are paired with a nature print throw that adds comfort and warmth to the striped sectional sofa.
In addition to pillows, a blue throw blanket with window pane pattern keeps things cozy on one of the living room sofas.
If you love the Marvel universe, tuck this throw pillow in between other black and white cushions for a subtle nod to your fandom.
Bright red pillows add color to a beige tufted sofa. A textured wooden wall sets a rustic backdrop.
From cowhide to French stripes, throw pillows add a layer of personality to the neutral sectional.
Designer Alice Cramer includes a soft and cuddly fur throw at the foot of the bed in this muted, grey-toned bedroom. As Cramer attests, the holidays don't have to be complicated. Use things you already have and just add the bling with seasonal touches. "Nothing prettier to a tabletop," says Cramer, "than simple glass containers of different sizes filled with cranberries, red berries, greenery and floating votive candles. Mix it in with silver service pieces filled with white flowers and various candlesticks." It's a look that works for a beautiful tabletop, or in accent tables in a guest room.
A malachite-print throw pillow adds a chic layer of color and pattern to the seating area.
Bedazzled throw pillows add an extra layer of glitz and texture to the sofa.
Different patterned throw pillows in neutral tones top the neutral fabric sofa, complementing the fresh design.
A tailored chaise is tucked in the corner with an antique end table and understated floor lamp. Framed artwork and an ikat throw pillow add a little personality to the prim and proper pieces.
Whether you're celebrating Mother's Day, Easter, a birthday or just toasting the weekend, brunch it up with our ideas for easy yet healthy recipes and setting a beautiful spread.

A who's who of the new arts shakers and movers
Arts leaders appointed to Create NSW Artform Advisory Boards, including RADO Executive Directors Caroline Downer (Arts North West), Jamie-Lea Hodges (Outback Arts) and Peter Wood (Arts Northern Rivers).
From the NSW Central West Advisory Board members include Kylie Shead, Creative Producer Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre (theatre board), Adam Deusien, performer, director and founder of Lingua Franca (dance and physical theatre board), and former director of Bathurst Regional Art Gallery Richard Perram (visual arts board).
In June 2019, Create NSW invited Expressions of Interest from arts and cultural leaders to join Create NSW Artform Advisory Boards.
The purpose of the Artform Advisory Boards is to assess applications made to the Arts and Cultural Funding Program to provide recommendations and advise the Minister on strategic directions for the sector.
The Berejiklian government has appointed 82 arts leaders to 10 powerful boards across theatre, opera, music, museums, visual arts and dance, replacing five-member, peer-reviewed panels that previously judged the merits of funding applications.
Sydney Festival artistic director Wesley Enoch, millionaire philanthropist Simon Mordant, books presenter Jennifer Byrne and former ballerina Lucinda Dunn are among a who's who of leading arts professionals who will be given a say in the multi-million dollar funding of artistic companies across NSW.
Forty per cent are drawn from western Sydney and regional NSW to ensure "robust advocacy" outside central Sydney, said Arts Minister Don Harwin.
The move effectively consolidates influence in the hands of a mix of established arts administrators and emerging and experienced arts practitioners. From October the newly constituted boards will begin to consider funding applications specific to their art form, their recommendations to go to the minister.
The appointees have been culled from more than 300 expressions of interest.
The executive director of the National Association of Visual Artists, Esther Antolitis, wished her colleagues well as they embarked on these important new roles.
"Guiding policy, program and funding assessments for Create NSW will have significant impacts on artists' lives, on the development of artform practice and also on the state's cultural evolution," she said.
"The excellent collegiate relationships they'll need to foster will serve NSW well in avoiding conflicts of interest and ensuring that artists and audiences come first, just as NSW taxpayers would expect."

text: What is it a "coming out" girls? How is it to be done? And when? I mean.. I am getting completely lost in "this L world" I got in touch with and now, I am spending a lot of time thinking about me, my past, my present, my everything.. But found no answer yet.. So, I can't avoid asking me: is there any response out in space, or life, sometimes, just brings into play the most and it's up to us to decide what to let it and what to let out? Why am I writing this way? Cause I thought was walking peacefully along my way (straight way with a companion), when she stepped out unexpectedly and there I found myself (over time) to have to admit to be feeling confused: do I like girls? Am I bisexual? (both to myself, my man and the LGBT common friends I shared with SHE).. I would love not to feel this way, believe me. but no matter how hard I try, as soon as I let down the guard, whop! here we come and so I find myself thinking of her: what would I have done if.. (as someone of you already asked me), what did I expect from, but above all, what I was left by this adventure? An amazing set of sensations was left! An open door on a new whole personal dimension which scares me as much as it attracts me! This crush made me feel at last in contact with myself, also in the group of friends I could finally be myself without being teased or feel observed for being a boyish woman. The "problem" now is that I find myself pleased by ( = attracted, curious, wondering about bodies, sex with..) a similar (to HER) type of woman (butch style) and thus I can not comprehend if this is only a "leftover" of the disappointment I got from her or if that is about a side of my personality that I kept closed in for years.. I know that for many of you hearing such things could seem impossible, but there was no internet when I was a teenager but a strong family and religious environment where girls had to be girls and boys had to be boys. I still recall (very well) the pain when classmates in secondary school where mocking me because of my look and passions (soccer, war games, fishing, hard-work, hockey..) Just unbelievable to many today.. And now? Now I regularly attend the gym and wear short black hair. How do I feel? Like never before!! I adore everything about my look and my body. I feel greater with myself and with my thoughts now that ten years ago. And although sometimes I regret not having felt this way before, I guess there is always a reason in things and perhaps this was the right time to "grow", this the city, this the new environment. In any case, I need to figure out who I am. What should I do girls? How can I say/state/find out if this looking at girls feeling strange is just such a time, or if all these changes occurred really do mean anything? I still find men attractive, so if it were, I would be bisexual.. Twice as many emotions to handle so? Two parallel universes to choose? Oh mine, what a mess..!

Things to Consider Before Buying a Garden Cart
A garden cart is a very important tool in gardening. It help a gardener to move/haul dead leaves, wood and many others objects. Now a days, a garden cart also used for home and outdoor purpose. In this article, I have discussed some major considerations while buying a garden carts.
Before purchasing a garden cart, it would be best to assess if its capacity is perfectly suitable for your needs. In addition, it is most ideal if the garden cart has a big capacity so that you can load more objects into it.
The garden cart's space/size is as highly important as its capacity. If you are mostly loading and moving liquid or semi-liquid gardening materials, it is best to purchase a garden cart with a vertical or pail-like structure.
On the other hand, if you are mostly loading and moving solid gardening objects and equipment, a large horizontal cart structure would be best for you.

It involves keeping your[…]Read More Best Garden Wagon – Reviews & Buying GuideWhat happens when you want a convenient solution for hauling your garden supplies, patio blocks, equipment and any outdoor jobs?[…]Read More
The garden cart's built/construction matters for you to determine if you can reliably use it for an extended period. Garden carts with metal trays are stronger, but they can be highly susceptible to rust and weathering.
Plastic trays are durable and weather-resistant, but not as durable as metal trays. Furthermore, garden carts with a fabric support are highly multi-purposes, lasting and weather-resistant, but they are not as durable as garden carts with metal trays. All of these have advantages and disadvantages, so it is best to assess which one for you is the best to use.
A garden cart's tires can be pneumatic or solid. Pneumatic tires provide more stability when you pass the garden cart through rocky terrains, but it is susceptible to puncture. On the other hand, solid tires are puncture-proof, but they do not provide stability on rocky terrains.
Thus, it is best to determine where you are mostly going to use the garden cart so that you can assess if its tires are ideal for it.
Multi-functional capability
There are garden carts that offer additional features such as extra side pockets, insulated coolers, removable bag or beverage holders. Thus, it is best to purchase a garden cart that offers multi-functional benefits that make your work lighter and easier.
Other Considerations
The best-rated garden carts in the market are usually priced at a higher value because they have a bigger capacity and a stronger built. However, there are also garden carts that are reliable to use and have an adequate capacity, but not as expensive as other garden carts.
Thus, it is always better to assess on where your garden cart needs fall between these two, so that you can make a decision on what garden cart to purchase.
Ground Clearance
The clearance between the base of a garden cart and the land surface must be good enough not to damage the garden cart. Thus, even though this consideration is not placed in a high regard, this also matters to ensure you can use your garden cart for a long period.
Color adds light to live, and this too is applicable when choosing a garden cart. It would be better to do the work if your garden cart has an attractive color, right? Thus, psychologically, this consideration makes loading and moving work lighter.
I have discussed all the consideration to choose the best garden cart. Tell me any other point which I could add in this guideline.

In 2016, Grade 10 students sat an innovative IB e-assessment. This was an interdisciplinary digital exam where students had to apply knowledge of both mathematics and English language and literature by analysing patterns in nature.
We are extremely proud to say that our students performed exceptionally well (we had no doubt that they would)!
IB scores are on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 7 (highest). The average score achieved by our then 22 Grade 10 students (now Grade 11) was 5.65 against a world average of 4.93.
Furthermore, the Grade 10 student's Personal Projects were also examined by the IB with fantastic results. Our students average was 6.19 compared to the world average of 4.23. On a scale of 7 our students achieved on average 2 points above the world average.
We are extremely proud of our learning community and a big well done to the current Grade 11 students and many thanks to their teachers for their wonderful support.

NCS Talent Show - Late Night With Ellie
This year's Talent Show (Celebrate the Child) was hosted for the first time ever by 3rd grader Ellie Sheehan. Seasoned co-host, Coach Jeff Brothers, played Ed McMahon to her Johnny Carson and the two had great chemistry onstage.
But the highlights of the show were of course the stellar performances by Nashville Christian School students and parents. First grade represented with Jeremy Wells back on stage, this time with Brady Irwin and another crowd-pleasing dance performance. Andrew Jarosemich showed his smooth moves with his dance to Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal.
There were some great duos with a dance by fifth graders Isabella Jennings and Aubrey Hollahan, and the Webb brothers Champ and Gabe showing their skills on drums and base guitar. Freshman Aubrey Page and junior Anna Jones sang beautiful solos and then teamed up for a great duet of Carry Me Home. Seniors Seven Gross and Will Batty joined forces at the keyboard with It's Too Late, and fourth grader Finn Shaver also tickled the ivories with Waltzing With Elephants.
One of the unique things that makes the Nashville Christian School Talent Show special is seeing parents join their children on the stage. Sixth grader Taylor Dahl and freshman Briteynn Fuson both sang beautifully with accompanyment from their fathers. And of course everyone enjoyed seeing the Sheehan and Posavac families come together with a repeat performance by Horse Taco.
If you missed any of these great performances, it's not too late. You can see the show in its entirety below!

This year I spent the day a little differently. Initially the plan involved a picnic in the Phoenix park, but instead I found myself digging up old potatoes and onions in the Pearse College Allotments in Crumlin.
I've no idea what vegetables are planned for the plots we dug up, but given the trojan amount of work that went into uprooting all the weeds, I'm expecting only the finest of results. I've even sacrificed my beloved boots for the cause, although in fairness, they were on the way out for a while now.
The allotments were a surprisingly great way to spend today and even though I didn't get my romantic walk around the Phoenix Park, I have zero regrets. There were such interesting people out working on their plots and I got the opportunity to walk around the place and see how the other gardeners used old recycled materials to make the most wonderful of vegetable patches. It reminded me of a very toned down, stripped away Bloom Festival, minus the frills and exceptionally crafted gardens. Basically all that was similar were the presence of seeds, soil and people with a passion for both.
