Hey friends.
Here’s an update on what’s going on right this very second in Philadelphia and what’s coming up in Chicago. I’m really excited about SOFA Chicago. I’m absolutely besides myself about Chicago.  Not kidding. 

Also, if you’re inclined to indulge in voyeuristic tendencies please do look for me on the social media machine. I changed some user names to match my new website name and thought I was doing everyone a favor by not having to type my longass name in the search box and that wasn't really a great idea because now everyone's like "hey I can't find you on (insert app name)". So find me at @mmhaims, click and like and all that good stuff.

I will open my doors, along with nearly 20 other artists in my building, to talk about process, show new work, and give demonstrations. We welcome all friends, family and new collectors. There will also be cookies.

The Sculpture Objects Functional Art and Design (SOFA) Fair in Chicago is the premier gallery-presented art fair dedicated to three-dimensional art and design. Critically acclaimed and continuously running since 1993, its focus is on three-dimensional artworks that cross the boundaries of fine art, decorative art and design. The fair is held at Navy Pier.

If you happen to be in NYC or PHL in the next few weeks I hope that you’ll join me for some fun. And also… my brand-spanking-new website is up. It’s not done, but it’s up. We’re knitters over here, not website builders.

Besides. Us Gen X’ers were raised to believe we can do A N Y T H I N G.
Next up for me: surgical suturing. With yarn.

Just kidding.
Maybe.
