Speaking of God's delightrul surprises, here is what happened to me 
yesterday:

A regional gallery director called me to offer me a one person show of my 
pottery and beadwork for September 2011. This came "out of the blue" as I 
had not approached the museum, nor had even thought of it.

Here is how it happened:  The director put together an 8 person show for 
this Sept. and I am part of a group of artists, Associated ARtists of 
Pittsburgh. She put together an 8 person show, and I am one of the 8. So, I 
had to send her some photos of my pottery for publicity.

The pictures arrived by email. She copied them, and took them to a meeting 
of the art committee and the committee wanted to feature my work in a one 
person show for NEXT year, as well as the 8 person show for THIS year. I was

very excited and very surprised.

This year marks the first time in 3 years, since sight loss, that I ahve 
been able to begin exhibiting again. Just a year ago I had thought that my 
exhibition life was over and I could see no way I could ever be the person I

was before sight loss. A year makes a world of difference! When I had to 
change from being the painter I had always been, to a pottery, I just did it

with no thoughts of ever being in gallery/juseum shows again. God is truly 
amazing and I am so thankful for this opportunity. I am also thankful for 
this list and the encouragement I have had here from some of you. You have 
made a BIG difference in my life and I thank you.
