Carrie Hawkins Temperance, MI
Booth 65 - Art Dolls

Carrie Hawkins is the artist behind Scaredy Cat Primitives. She has been creating for over three decades and works upcycling textiles and found objects. Her focus is to create something beautiful from things that would otherwise end up in the landfill. Her favorite textiles to work with are wool and cashmere sweaters that she repurposes into unique cat-themed art dolls, called Ragamuffins, and other whimsical items. She also is an accomplished fine artist, with mixed-media works currently on exhibition at 20 North Gallery and has exhibited her work in Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Ontario, Canada." Returning to Booth 65 on Saturday, March 8, Carrie will unveil her 2025 line at Saline Middle School, 7190 N Maple, Saline from 8am-3:30 pm at the Saline Spring Craft Show.
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
