good glory i am loving me some solder

Just got back from a quick road trip with good good friends::: we came together to attend

Terri Brush's workshop in Arizona. I had tried my hand at soldering ( all by my lonesome)a couple years back and felt pretty discouraged, but after I attended my first workshop with Terri and her amazing gentle spirit I knew I had made a friend for life;)

This was my second class with Terri and already she has me soldering big chunky boxes and the solder is flowing like butter
AND the good news is she is coming our way -this June
start your soldering tools ladies and join in the fun::::::

And so it was::::

Everything a girl could want, join me in some eye candy

These parasols were to die for

as was the detail on the front entry way to Vignette's

Rachel Ashwell was so very charming , Beautiful inside and out
My Cabinet adorned with newly created Vintage gems

I am showcasing these amazing embellished vintage pocket watches made by the oh so talented Debby at Romancing the bling


Karen from Cafe Paperie
she also made this screen, it is truly magical

So loving all the soft colors in Joyville

I had to splurge and take this home, I just fell in love with the blue and worn gold accents

So lovely, once again Lori has us under her spell

Recently I was ordered to strict(ha) bedrest, the very thought of this scared me way beyond the thought of my surgical procedure::: Thankfully The Lovely Heather Bullard had posted an embroidered crest a while back

It was a craft i had never tackled, my dear friend Maija baby steped me through the beginning stages and now I am hooked
