the cat's outta the bag!

I just finished three days of teaching, one class takin' day myself with the talented  
Richard Salley, and hundreds of hours filling my creative tank to way over flowing! 
My ♥ is so full of blessed goodness, that I just don't know what to say.
Really.
Adorn Me! 2011 has been a HUGE success.  
Ask anyone who was there, and I am SURE they will agree.
The venue was large enough to draw BIG name teachers (FINALLY) to Houston, 
yet small enough for teachers & students to give & get the personal attention needed to have a great class from both sides of the table.
Thanks to this well organized lady, Linda
 and her trusty assistant, Chuck.
If we look like an aura is surrounding us ... well, it is. 
One of pure bliss, as this was last night, and was my last class to teach.
It was a short evening class,
My first time to teach after dusk, and I loved it!  
And...think the students did too =)
Here is one of Marcy's cuffs, which she sewed all by hand~onto leather!
Made with luscious vintage lace, beads  & a mother of pearl button.
And, here is Debbie's.  
Gorgeous work.
So, guess bet you get the idea here.  I am going to start at the end of 
(for me that is, as I did not teach or attend today)
and go back each day to once again relive the fun.
BTW...the cuff at the top was the example I sewed in class last night & wore home.  
I really like it!  
I've actually had that carved bone cat bead for at least two years....
sitting in my little box of bone(s) beads!
I have so much to tell you.  I am bustin' at the seams.
More tomorrow.  Promise.
Sorry....maybe Tuesday =)

smitten again

One of the reasons I bought this vintage stamp set from my friend Linda Marcov of Willow Nest Farm
is this one stamp!  
I know, I know...there are over 30 other stamps in this box, including all the letters of the alphabet, and numbers....but it was THIS one stamp that put me over the edge!
I know you know what I mean.  
I can't tell you how many times I feel this way when I see a little bit different string of gemstones, or an eye catching necklace, a piece of vintage brass chain, a stunning rhinestone brooch,
or even something as simple as a charm.  
This is just how I felt when I saw my *FIRST* baby rose.
 Yes, I am smitten. 
Just take a liitle look over on the design blog to see how I've been using some of the little darlings as I get ready for the Summer Soiree.
You will likey =)
(btw...Jill is having a sale.
Her chain is 15% off until Sunday, June 20.  
Use promo code JUNE16.)
~AND THERE IS MORE~
Jill is also looking for a piece of jewelry you designed that makes your heart sing...perhaps using the baby rose charms!
It might just show up on the design blog =)
