Blockheads

Yesterday we did our last "mock class" and had a ton of fun with it. Helen taught her portrait window house and it is FABULOUS! I can't wait to show you all pictures. I taught Cyndi, Helen & Jennifer my Blockheads class which involves assemblage, collage & painting. We had fun with this class too- to be honest we have fun with all our classes! I had to laugh when a good friend of mine asked me if I was having fun at "work" Anyways, this class if definitely funky and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do. My blockhead was 70's inspired, I took ads & prints from magazines of the 70s. Let me know what you think!

Always the last minute

Tonight I am working a cute new project that I will be teaching at SCCL and all I will say is that it involves wooden blocks! I will post pictures as soon as it is complete. This Sunday I am getting together with the other instructors and working on a few more projects, one of them being Helen's portrait window house. I am looking forward to this one! All I know so far is that it involves us having to bringing in personal pictures and I love pictures which means I have tons to look through this Saturday so I can be ready for the class.

I haven't had a chance to sit here and "blog" because this full time J-O-B has been a bit busy...Real Estate is not dead people! My comp has been down at work. I was attacked by porn ads!! They freaked me out and no I don't look at porn while at work (it doesn't get THAT boring!) but I do share my comp with a guy ummm leads me to wonder....

Anyways enough of that, on to sometime a little more exciting. Santa Clarita Craft Lab is opening on July 1st yey! The first class I'm teaching will be on July 20th and I will be teaching you how to make Fairy jars! They are very cute and whimsy you will love it so sign up for it! Here is a preview:

Now isn't that cool?? Don't you just want to sign up and take my class?? It will be a lot of fun. I promise! Log on to http://www.santaclaritacraftlab.com/

A couple of weeks ago we (the SSCL instructors) got together to do "mock classes" to practice our teaching skills and you guys I have to tell you these classes are just too much fun! I hope I can sneak my way into some of them!

Here are some pictures of Erin's patchwork painting class - isn't it awesome?? One of my favorites classes so far.

This one was done by Erin... I know she's great!! (above)

This one was created by me! I had never painted before... I was too scared because I thought that It wasn't something I could ever do and look at how cute she turned out?? I am very proud of myself and I can't wait to do another one. Soo many ideas!

This last one above was done by Cyndi and she named her "Sweet Girl"

For some reason I can't upload pics at the moment but I will try again later. The pictures I wanted to share with you are of two other classes being offered at SCCL Birds of a Feather and Softies in Wonderland. Both classes are hand sewn projects - let me tell you this was another thing I thought I couldn't do and again I have surprised myself! I am having so much fun laughing, crafting, hanging out with great friends and finding out how much I can really do! This has truly been a time of self discovery! I will no longer say that I can't do something without first trying and I am going to stop putting limits on myself. NO MAS! (No more!)

Until next time.... One Love
