Circa Land

I can’t get over the beauty you are all creating with Circa!!  You have all been so patient so loving so supportive of one another, sharing and giving yardage away to help another quilter or passionate sewist!  You are all making me so happy and I can’t get over how many lovely people knock on my FB page everyday. You are all so delightful and you know I love seeing those pretties you are sewing.  I don’t have to tell you the word on the street about Circa and it all started here by listening to your requests and at the same time upholding the Sis Boom Legacy of Happy!!

So check these out.  Another one of our Aussie friends is creating to die for sunsuits that are just dreamy! Lil Luscious on facebook needs to get more in stock because she does it so well.  Serenity Worell you are making our day!!!!

She’s taking orders..just sayin.

NYC Library with the ferocious lions out front!!

Maura Madden and Jessica Pigza from Crafternoon have invited us to teach a garland class on one of their get together’s and we couldn’t be more excited…..meeting crafters in NYC is the ultimate exchange.  Maura Madden also has an incredible book on Amazon called  Crafternoon and both have been on Martha Stewart show so this is going to be lots of fun!!! Such a big city and hard to find like minded crafters  unless you are at an event like this.  We are also going to be giving one lucky person a copy of Happy Home!!  So if you are in the vicinity please come and let us know you will be attending.  We love to keep track of all of you!! Sometimes when I get a heads up  that you’ll be there I keep you on my radar and then get a chance to hug you in person.  So today’s post is garlands and just enjoy the process.  See you in NYC !! Let me know .  I lived in NYC for 12 years so this is like going home!!  So grateful for the opportunity!! Before you go take a look at their fun blog  register at   handmade@NYPL.org with your name and date of event..

Just Collaging

I love old paper, I love vintage ephemera!!  Something about the time,the place, the memories, the innocence.  It all is wrapped in a ball of sentiment!!  I just adore playing with them and I encourage you to play too.  Find some quiet time and just explore on Ebay and Etsy for old wrapping paper and cards, see what stirs you, see what you love.  I have to make time for play it’s where I learn the most about myself as I’m sure many artists out there would concur! xo
