Nina Bagley class at French General

Cute huh>>>>

On October 19th, it was my mom's birthday, since she isn't here anymore to celebrate it with, I decided to take a class since I haven't in so long...  I went to French General and took a class from one of my favorate artist Nina Bagley... and met a couple friends there.. I always wished my mom and me would take a class together someday, never did, but nevertheless, i celebrated her birthday with her on my mind....Love you mom and miss you soo..

This picture is from there here are a few class samples of some upcoming classes

And her glass cabinets were full of vintage notions..

Lots of vintage ribbon and flowers

These are all fabric swatches of the yummy fabrics she had

I loved this poster, it was really high up and I couldn't get such a great picture..

I spent too much, i will photo my goods and what I made and post soon....

A good life is when- You smile often, Dream big, Laugh alot and realize how blessed you are for what you have....

When life gives you more than you can stand.... kneel

Haven't posted for a while, my hubby just had a vacation of 10 days off, so I've been very busy....  Haven't been on the computer in over two weeks, wow that's alot of emails....  

So don't Worry be Happy...

I love this pink kitty face...

This brooch is so simple and beautiful

I love these vintage things, especially the glass box...\

I adore these zipper flowers and want to make some....

Why fit in, when you were born to stand out.....

For mothers day my sons and my hubby took me to the Gem Show in costa mesa.  I actually got there and didn't feel so good so I didn't stay too long, but I got some good deals..

Lots of pretty colors of beads, and these all were a dollar a strand.  Unbelievable huh?...

Look at this cute Theo look alike...

I love these colors of pottery...

 

Do not be afraid to express yourself.... Do it fearlessly

Here is my new journal I decorated...  Love the pink paper I used...  It is made with rings and I put watercolor paper in it...

 

Look at these whimsical clay beads I found at Micheals, they will look good decorating the binding of my journals.  I've always have wanted to make my own clay beads, paint them with the glass paint that needs the kiln to dry.  Some day, but until then these make me happy...

Look at the colors of the things I picked up at Micheals this weekend, the colors are soo yummy....  The big beads were sold in the kids section they look and feel like erasers....

 

This is a journal I bought at Micheals, made by recollection.  I absolutely love EVERY pattern of paper put in this book, and it has lots of folders in it..

 

 

 

 

I love Box full of inspiration (from Jessie Chorley)

I want to make one of these out of a vintage photo album

I love this cigar box, made with tiny match boxes as drawers found here

 

I love these old paper animals..

 

a few of my favorate things

Here is one of my other inspiration boards.  It holds some of my favorate things.  I love the beaded beads hanging down the middle of  the top.  And look near the bottum at the beaded face I made.  It is made out of seed beads...

I love paper dolls, here are a few I've made....

This is a vintage suitcase I've collaged...

 

Here are a few of the celluloid charms I've colllected.

we need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore us...... thrill us....

 

I love these vintage chalkware half dolls ( I have a many in my collection)

 

I like this fox collar (it's from etsy here)

Love pictures of kittys that look like my Theo (oh how they make me smile)

Love this idea of writing words on a wall with thumb tacks

 

So what have I been up to....  hurridly getting thru life dealing with a ramboncious 17 year old, who thinks he is perfect and knows everything, dealing with my dear hubby being home sick from work for over a week with a hurt back and a grumpy spirit... 

Home is where your mom is.......

My inspiration board that has lots of my favorate things...

A yummy pastel collage I've made...

HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE...

I am always amazed how cool our senses are.  I love how we hear a song we haven't heard in years, and it can bring us a flood of memories, or how a scent can transport us straight back to a childhood..  A reminder to  take time to enjoy the little things...  And always remember to be happy...   HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE...  Be nice to people...

I ventured by to Flicker, cuz of pinterest I haven't been on it forever (click on the links to view my favorates)  Any hoo, here are a few photos of things I adore, like this embroidered bee placed into a locket (made by Tiny happy)

and this yummy paper pieced quilted ice creams, (by aymuills)

I adore these rose paintings by athingforroses

Here is a necklace I made

Feed your faith.... and your fears will starve to death....

Here are some of my fun supplies I have acquired lately....  all in pastel colors of course, my favorate..
