Creating at the Beach

 

Just returned from another amazing experience at Coronado Island, California with Vivi Magoo Presents. 

 

Every evening I made sure to spend time at this beach, one of thee most romantic places I know, next to Hawaii.  Guess for me it was more "rotic" without the man.

 

Our two hosts, Barb and Erin did a fantastic job making us happy.

 

The first class I taught for two days was called "Inside The Fairies Dream".  Sweet Vickie hard at work.

along with her friend, Sandy. Got to love the pins in her mouth!

 

From scratch, each of the gals created a dress form from wire and solder.

Then it was time to adorn their creations with pretty things

 

 

My second class was really fun with one of my BBF's Cathleen (far left) coming to visit me, along with Ann and Kathleen.  My classes were small and intimate.  Just love these gals so much!!!

We created "Beach Play" on canvas using solder, paint and texture.

 

Vivi Magoo Retreats would not be complete without the temptation of the beautiful clothes by Magnolia Pearl.  We had a LOT to choose from.

Happy memories!!!

I want to express my sadness for the people of Oklahoma City.  My prayers are with you all.  Life can bring some really hard times to so many.  I am glad it is mixed with times we can laugh and play.  There is always hope for better days and they become even more meaningful knowing the difference. 

Words and Numbers on Fabric

I love hunting for old vintage bags with advertisement on them. 

There are bank bags...seed and feed sacks...the list goes on. 

They come in all different kinds of colors and weights of fabric, either heavy or a soft muslin fabric.

I found a new way to use them in my aprons.

I used a portion of a pretty blue colored one in this apron.

I made me an apron using a faded bag and doing some stitching on the bib.

You can find a lot of these bags on Etsy or Ebay, but some are quite expensive.  I was fortunate to find some locally for a good price.

Well, have a wonderful new week.  I'm off to the beach to teach and am so looking forward to hearing the waves and breathing in the smell of sea water.

Behind the Creativity

I grew up as a Tom Boy, loving to play in the woods.  Yet I LOVED to play dolls, play house.

The type of environment I like to live in is more masculine rather than famine.  I like both.  I like to wear lace but love to accessorize in leather and rustic shoes/bags.

This Boho tool belt apron reflects a combination of both my sides creatively.

 

I love "tattered threads"

 

and a little feminine thrown in.

 

 

I'm off to the ocean side, an Island very soon.  I can't wait.  That is where I feel I can be totally me but then again, there is New York City.  Maybe the beach represents the feminine side of me and the city my masculine side, where I have to be a bit stronger.

Just me...how about you?

 

You can find a few more of my creations in my Etsy Shop right now.

 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO all you moms out there.  Sure am missing mine.

Muvazi Natural Skin Care for BREAST Health Promotion

Today I write to you about something special I discovered through my friend, Nellie Wortman, Muvazi Skin Care.  After Nellie's raves about it, I looked into it for myself.   Not only was it Nellie's words of encouragement that made me want to try it, but as a Breast Cancer Survivor, I read that this product is PARA (Paraben) FREE.  There is research that Paraben may contribute to breast cancer and HERE is a good link to begin reading about this if you haven't already.





If you have followed my blog for any length of time, you know I do not normally promote product.  I am so pleased with the results I am getting from Muvazi, that I was anxious to write about it and share it with you all.  With Mother's Day coming up, this could be a wonderful gift for the women in your life you love. 

Muvazi, based in Utah, ships out really fast.  They also give a 30 day money back guarantee if you are not happy with the product.

PROMOTION  For YOU!!

You can purchase this package of four products for only $69.00 includies FREE shipping world wide!  (Taxed if you live in Utah).  This is an awesome deal and if you like it, Muvazi will let you opt in for an Auto Purchase for the same price.  Also, for my readers you will receive a FREE  Professional Comedone Extractor.

ENTER THE PROMO CODE:  Mosshill  when checking out and you won't be paying the $149.00 price, only $69.00.  Good deal, don't you think! 

I am loving how my skin feels and looks and I have only been using it for a short time.  I believe it will continue to improve and of course, I want to look younger.

 

Also, I have been putting this product on my hands and they are looking better, as I have really been showing my age there.  Another secret, you only need to use a very little (I mean little) on your skin due to the potency of the ingredients in this line.

Promotion for my readers will last for two weeks starting today.

Would love to hear from you if you give it a try.  What I love about it, it is so easy to do in the morning and evening, as I am not a big one on primping but love getting results as if I were.

Happy Mother's Day Everyone!!

Creations and Offerings

Enjoying my Simplicity Deluxe 12 needle Felting Machine.  If you have ever needle felted by hand, you would appreciate how this machine works.  I just love it!!!  I made this little needle case with it.  

The inside I used felt and a vintage baby sock to hold my little tiny scissors in. 

The back with another little sock to hold my finger protector.

 

Worked on a few more Boho Tool Belts and you can find this with some others in my shop.

My friend, Jennifer, came over today and purchased this blue one for herself.

This is a child size apron with two pockets I've offered up in my Etsy Shop.

 

Madison modeling one of my aprons Aunt Jennifer gifted her with.  Doesn't she look darling!  

Thanks for stopping by.  ♥♥♥

 

Joy of sewing

I will never forget my very first sewing lesson given by my mom to my sister and I.  I think I was around ten years old.  We made sleeveless flannel night-gowns. 



Fresh batch of hand dyed lace.



Love tight weeved gauze fiber.

 

Just completed two new Boho Tool Belts and listed in my Etsy Shop

Each one comes out different, making them "one of a kind".  I love that.  I'm not one for repetition.

 

I do a lot of hand sewing on the belts.  I love a good sharp needle.

A completed work "Gentle Breeze"

 

and "White Sands"

 

Well, back to dyeing more tool belts so I can sew and embellish them up.

Happy Weekend Everyone.
