More on Swedish Days

Yesterday I wrote about Becky’s participation in the annual Swedish Days Rosemaling Competition.  One of the other things she usually participates in each year at Swedish Days is the Rosemaling demonstration.  This year she’s spending three days educating the public about Rosemaling, and demonstrating her technique. 

This year her efforts caught the attention of Kelly over at the Geneva Daily Photo blog.  Kelly watched Becky demonstrate, and posted a photo of one of the demonstration pieces.  She had some nice things to say about Becky, and was kind enough to include a link to Folk Art by Rebecca as well.

Thanks Kelly!

My Awesome and Talented Wife

As I wrote earlier, it’s Swedish Days in Geneva, IL.  Every year Becky paints a ton of beautiful items and enters a piece or two into the competition.  This year she entered three pieces in the Advanced category, and walked away with two ribbons.  I am so very proud of her.

Way to go, sweetheart!!

What is the Opposite of a Football Widow?

Well, in my house, it’s a Rosemaling Widower, of course!

It’s the month of June, that means that Swedish Days is fast approaching, and Becky is busy preparing this year’s batch of Rosemaling.  Every year the Illinois Norsk Rosemalers Association holds its annual rosemaling competition and sale, and Becky is one of the annual participants.

The basement studio has been a very busy place lately, and the stuff that’s coming out is just amazing.  I’m a very proud husband.
