Here I am back in beautiful Denver, Colorado for a few days. It’s like the Return to Oz for me! I assumed the weather would be much colder than ours but I was pleasantly surprised. It is mild (for winter weather) and I may not have to wear my big clunky winter snowshoes…er..boots. This is what the airport in Denver looks like…almost surreal. So very appropriate for the return to Oz!
The hotel is decorated in a pop culture theme. My floor is the chick flick floor, so there are movie posters decorating the hall walls. Here is my room…neat picture of legs and boots over my bed. I wasn’t sure what the picture was until I stood back and took a more far-sighted view of it. At first I thought it was corset lacing! Shows where my mind is!
Here’s a neat poster of shoes at the end of the hall. I like this floor – it suits me!
And this gal outside my door…does anyone know who she is? She is one of my role models…I love her attitude!
Ok, it is time to wind down for the night and be ready for a big day tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted!
I SO tried to wear a hair tie like hers when I was a young girl. Somehow I didn't look quite the same!
All righty! You can ask me questions on the Craftsy platform if you have any difficulties!
Oh yes, they asked me back to do a second class. This one is – shhh, it's a secret….Designer Options.
I love everything about Rosie! I learned about her in the late 50s…when my dad said I could anything I wanted (except of course – be a horse doctor – that was man's work!)
A second CRAFTSY class! I am so glad it did well for them! Apparently I am quite the ham on camera!
She definitely inspired me!
Oh yes! I'm a BIG Rosie fan!
The poster is known as Rosie the Riveter. She was a from a WWII campaign to encourage women to work in the factories while men were away.
Rosie the Riveter is a Favorite icon. I remember seeing old magazines of my grandmother's in our attic. Her can do attitude was infectious.
Beverly, how very exciting! I hope you have a great time and I can't wait to hear more about the up-coming classes.
The gal is "Rosie the Riveter"…she was the face of a can do campaign of sorts in the US back when all the guys were off at war. The women had to go do the factory jobs and other such typically (especially at the time) identified guy jobs. Of late many communities have programs oriented toward young adolescent females that teach them trade sorts of jobs such as plumbing, carpentry, tree trimming, firefighting, police work, etc… It's quite an empowering program here where I live.
for craftsy again????????
The gal outside your room is Rosie the Riveter. She's from WWII defense plan work
Welcome to Denver! I hope your stay is a pleasant one. I am tired of wearing bras where the underwire either sticks me in the underarm or protrudes between my breasts, this after paying over $80. Therefore, I will be signing up for your Craftsy bra-makers class and looking forward to having great-fitting, pretty bras to wear.
