A Kimberly Design

Artisan Biography for akimberlydesign
My life as an artist...I went to art school to study fashion illustration and graphic design.One day I found myself in a yarn shop, and was inspired to become a knitter. All the texture and color was amazing. Several years later found me standing in front of a wall of colorful thread, more texture, endless possibilities, this was when I started to needle point.As I continued to evolve, I discovered I could make tassels. I began teaching the art of tassel making, which led to designing my own free-form needle art. I then created a line of wearable art pins which provided several years of commission sales.Viola! I began publishing and distributing. Now life was getting exciting, I attended markets with a tag stating that I was a designer and a teacher with my own line of charted needlepoint designs. This was a wonderful time in my life. I'm now semi retired. I say semi, as I will never totally be 'out of it'. I love being creative.

In Memory Of Dave Dillon

We were just informed of the death of our very good friend Dave Dillon. He lost control of his Harley when he hit gravel on a curve while riding with a friend. He was not only our friend but he worked with Bill the last several years at www.brandlcycle.com . He leaves behind many friends and family who will miss him dearly. I still can't imagine the world without him. Please pray for his family.

Davie was always putting other people first. He lived in a small town and would go and clean off sidewalks for all the elderly people. He loved his children and grandchildren. He loved to babysit his little grand baby. If you needed help he would be right there to help.

He had always said he wanted to work with Bill and learn from him. He was a well respected Harley mechanic. Brandl Cycle will not be the same without him.

He loved animals especially his two pugs. He always had a smile. I honestly can not think of one negative thing to say about him.

Please be sure to tell your loved ones and friends how you feel about them, just give them an extra hug. We never know how long they will be with us.

My thoughts and prayers are for his family.
