Shout outs of some favs

Some of my favorites...

I was cruising this morning, like pretending I have lots of time to kill before the trip! I just can't help it, miss everyone, and trying to jump back in to my "other life" of reading blogs, I can still remember that! So, in playing for about an hour, I find this darling giveaway from Cat at Bell'Antico, aren't these the cutest little hearts. So, now that I'm starting to make a few hand sewn goodies, wouldn't this look darling in my new collection of sewing notions? Go see her beautiful blog if you get a chance.

I also stopped by Julie's blog at Praire Thistle, who's using French nudes in some work, (my fav), go check that out! Her piece is darling, with the little nude peeking through her piece!

Then there's another friend, Diane Cook, getting ready for her wonderful show coming up. Okay, I am a lucky girl to know so many talented ladies. Go see what she's up to at

Rosa & Josies, just darling pieces. If you ever wanted to know about the stone "jet" she wrote a beautiful definition. Really educational. Thanks Diane!

AND, another wonderful friend, Diana Frey, has been published yet again in Belle Armoire Jewelry!! Here's a peek at her article. If you haven't picked up you latest issue, you have missed this! And, I might add, we will be teaching some fun cuffs in October, and there is still room for you to join us!! Please do if you can, okay?

Okay, that's all of my favs I can post about right this second, but there are MANY more! I'll see you on the other end, when I'm in California. I'm off to my BIG reunion tomorrow, then on to the sunshine state, hopefully there's some sun, because it hasn't stopped raining here for days, and we're ready to blast. Maddie doesn't want to go potty in the rain. YIKES!

Take care all.
