Its been a while…….

I have kinda neglected my little blog.

I have been busy with work, creating and just life.

I am now teaching craft classes for seniors a couple times a month at work.  Here is one of our creations.  Shrinky Dink jewelry.

I had a fun class with Rita Reed at  Jackie's home.  Fabric & soldered charm wall hanging with my  grandparent’s wedding picture.

Jackie has turned her living room into an art studio.    Its the best place to visit and create! 

In fact her whole house is one big art studio!!

Cute Suzi & Gigi

The group. 

A picture from Rita's blog.

And if you visit Sally's blog there are lots more pictures of everyone’s creations.

I took my granddaughter to the San Diego zoo.

We will be going a lot since I bought annual passes.

We visited my youngest son at his new job…..Legoland. 

He said I was “harassing” him by trying to take his picture at work.  No just documenting the “first” job.  That's what moms do. 

His younger cousins are all envious that he works at Legoland.  They think he gets to play there when he goes to work.   

They have a cool show where they take kids from the audience to be part of the show. 

I had Mothers Day brunch at Bali Hai on Shelter Island……..I Y San Diego!!!

And much more……….

Hope you have been having fun too!!!

Moulin Rouge & the Uninvited Guest

This is what your place looks like when you spend a few days getting ready for Moulin Rouge, four days crafting, eating, shopping and having fun…..and then get sick the day after you get home. 

You are then in bed for 3 and a half days. 

Unable to unpack your wonderful things that you bought, were given and swapped.  (and dirty clothes)

Moaning, coughing and being hot then cold. 

Your things strewn about ~ both the items that didn't make the cut and the things that went & came back.  Now stacked ALL over. 

My dinner there in the red coffee cup…chicken noodle soup & seven up.  My first full day back to work was today.  You see I am the bookkeeper and no one else can do my job but me….so it waits for me to come back. 

Piles of it. 

HA…just like the piles at home waiting for me.

There's the mail and the note I TAPED to the door so the man child could remember a couple things. 

And a cool basket that I got at the Long Beach Flea Market…..that we attended for …well…..a blink of an eye because of the rain storm.

Unfinished class projects and swaps…all waiting for me when I feel better. 

 

Oh….and my studio..a mess too!!

And a naked girl…..she was wearing my can can girl outfit. 

BUT…..I'm feeling much better.  Until I look around me.  I'm just glad I didn't get sick until I got home.  Guess you know what I'm doing this weekend…..well at least Saturday. 

I signed up for Denise Hahn's birdcage class Sunday…..makes me feel better just thinking about it!!

And if you want to see the most amazing blog post from Moulin Rouge check hers out.   

Its like I was there again.

Moulin Rouge was the best event

I ever attended!!  Kim you are awesome.

I'm going to bed now…..cough….cough..sniff

Re-purposed Lace

I have had this idea in my head for a while.  I finally had the time to gather all my supplies and create this. 

Its made from mostly vintage lace

  and crochet pieces

I just love the way it turned out. 

Its one of those things that came out just as I saw it in my minds eye. 

Have a good week!!

Little Legs and A Heart

Ok… so I have had a Etsy shop forever…..with nothing in it right now. 

So I have been working on things to put in my little shop. 

These are little vintage German doll legs that I soldered on top.  Then I embellished then with jewels and hung them from tea dyed seam binding. 

 

And I made a few of these…but have only one left.  I'm going to make more of the pocket style.

More to come…..thanks for looking!!
