This is the fourth year for the annual Fine Arts & Cool Crafts show and sale. Lynda Kotta, the NECC member who chairs the event, also is one of the juried artists. Her handcrafted greeting cards and wall hangings were popular at last year’s show. Rain City Cof- fee in Hollywood displayed her wall hangings in August, Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Garden sells a special series of her pieces and customers have mailed Kotta’s “Greetings from Oregon” cards across the world. A lifelong crafter, the retired utilities and public administration professional fell in love with paper designs five years ago while fashioning a birthday card for her brother-in-law. What she calls “waterfall cards” are her favorite. “There’s a panel on each one that you pull down and photo after photo appears,” she explained. Other cards feature paper cutouts, ribbons, buttons and whatever suits Kotta or her customer. When you visit Fine Arts & Cool Crafts next month, don’t be shy about asking for a personalized order, crafted to reflect the personality you describe about its recipient. Also participating in the show and sale is Terri Dill-Simpson, a professional watercolor artist. “After a career in law enforcement and then at the Oregon Zoo, I returned 23 years ago to my first love, painting,” Dill-Simpson said. Her pieces have been displayed in shows sponsored by the Audubon Society, Portland Rose Festival, Oregon Society of Artists, Buffalo Grass Society, The Resort at the Mountain and several local galleries. She skillfully combines her love for animals, nature, flowers and photography to produce a series of original watercolor works. For sale at the Fine Arts & Cool Crafts show will be several original paintings, plus prints, calendars, bookmarks and greeting cards. Dill-Simpson teaches watercolor classes at the Northeast Community Center, and during the Fine Arts & Cool Crafts show, the lobby will display the works of her students. Proceeds from Fine Arts & Cool Crafts support programs and activities at the nonprofit NECC. An opening reception, with complimentary wine and cheese, kicks off this year’s event Friday, November 1, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the NECC, 1630 N.E. 38th Ave. The sale continues Artists Terri Dill-Simpson (left) and Lynda Kotta will be taking part in this year’s Fine Saturday, November 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission to both is free and tours of the Arts & Cool Crafts show and sale. — Photo provided by Northeast Community Center Center are available.

HUD has announced an exciting new program for prospective home buyers who have suffered a bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale. A buyer can be eligible for a new FHA loan just one year after completion of their bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale. There are some important criteria to note (and these criteria may change as the program is new and just being rolled out): • Purchase transactions only. • Housing counseling is required 30 days prior to loan application. • The bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale must be directly tied to a job loss or reduction in income of 20% or more for at least 6 months. • Credit must have been satisfactory prior to the bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale. I’ve talked to many people in the past few years who have lost their homes to foreclosure, been forced to pursue a short sale or filed a bankruptcy due to the challenging economic times we’ve come through.

The goal was to build a house that accurately Hardwoods or softwoods need attention? reflected the old homes we own today. Eighteen months later I am pleased to Restoration and repairs announce Northeast Portland’s newest address. Literally, 3122 NE 45th is a new professionally done. Portland address, assigned this year by the City as I constructed a new home in Beaumont-Wilshire from the ground up. Licensed • Bonded • Insured CCB# 136931 Seven months ago the first open lot in the Alameda/Beaumont area in over 10 years went on sale on Craigslist and within hours I was at the seller’s dining Douglas: 503-282-7116 table sharing my vision. Among aesthetic references to what I hoped to build, I Cell: 971-219-3517 assured them that their lot would be home to a house that fit in our neighborhood and truly resembled the homes around it. With other builders knocking at their door, they selected me to be their new neighbor for the months ahead and to be responsible for what their cherished lot would look like for the next 100 years. SUN DOG CONSTRUCTION So I struck out to design a home that would be indicative of the craftsman REMODEL - RESTORE homes that inspire me and surround us today. Truth be told, I have had the floor plan, the soffit and porch dimensions and overall layout in my mind for Home Maintenance and Remodeling years, but as of March 2013 I had the opportunity to put this vision to paper Basements, Attics, Kitchens, Baths and then, in 3 dimensions. I also confess that I wanted to make a statement CCB #173347 -- a statement about how homes should and still can be built today as they BIG & small Jobs - Handyman services Lic/Bond/ins. were at the beginning of the 20th century. As a long time Northeast Realtor, I know first hand that the reason people flock to buy homes in our northeast 503.957.7559www.homepage.mac.com/rebelsunfilmsAUTUMN PARDEE neighborhoods isn’t just because of their proximity to local businesses and downtown, but because of the intrinsic appeal of early 20th century architecture and the environment older craftsman homes create block by block. Put simply, you can’t reproduce our beautiful old neighborhoods, you can only strive to protect and sustain them. So after 12 years of advising my clients on the value of preserving the character of our old homes and remodeling them with careful consideration for the details that make them unique, I offer our community a new home at one of its last available addresses, built with the PAINTING materials, aesthetic and craftsmanship of the homes that came before it. I am pleased to say that one of the last available lots in Northeast Portland is now home to a beautiful old Portland foursquare with 42 inch soffits, an 8 foot deep, 36 foot wide wrap-around porch and the same finishes and architectural details Fall of the homes that surround it. Because the home sold 5 months ahead of completion there won’t be your is for planting typical Sunday open house. As a result, I wanted to offer people from the community a chance to see the home before the first stewards take up residence this October. If you are interested in seeing this home please email Overseed now. [email protected] for an invitation and we will make an attempt to open the doors during two private open houses. 1712 S.E.
