Just a few {creative} things...
1- Tonight Jennie and I are hosting a craft night! Theme - stamp making... we are super excited.
2- Follow me over to Cresendoh this week while I am a guest curator on Jenny Doh's serious "Art Saves".
3- Have you been wanting to start a creative business or do you need help with the creative business that you have? If yes sign up for Jeanne Oliver's E- Course called "Building a Creatively Made Business." I met Jeanne while I was in France a couple summers ago and she is a little slice of heaven. I adore her and have so much admiration for all that she has done with her business. She has so much wisdom to share and is so gracious to have a class sharing all of her secrets. I am signed up.
4- I am so excited to be teaching another class at Summerland Merchantile June 2nd, we will be sewing markets totes with vintage table clothes... Check out my last class here.

Okay let's just sum it up by saying I was in heaven teaching a class. I loved everything about it. I majored in child education and up until a month before graduation had every intention of being a first grade teacher. I was derailed one night while I was on the phone with an incredibly talented designer/artist that I have tons of respect for. I was expressing my concern about being a teacher and my worry that it wouldn't be creative enough for me. In that conversation she told me that I was right and to do something more 'out of the box.' I called my parents at 2am to let me them know that I wasn't going to be a teacher and that I wanted to do something more 'creative.' Shortly after that I got a one way ticket to Boston with $200 in my pocket... I digress; long story short there is a reason that I love teaching and to be teaching something that I love was such a gift this weekend. Not to mention that my 'class room' was so gorgeous {I took so many photos of Cathy's house that I will need to post those on Wednesday... stay tuned} and the 'students' were amazingly talented and wonderful to spend the day with. Cathy and Stacy thank you sooooo much for having me. I feel so lucky to have been apart of the amazing line up that you have at *Summerland Mercantile. I am already cooking up my next class {if you will have me}... I am thinking gift wrapping for the holidays ;).

*If you are able to make it Summerland Mercantile will be having a garden sale May 7th + Kaari Meng of French General will be doing a jewelry class the same day. I guarantee it will be amazing!

When I started my blog a year and a half ago one of my goals was to teach classes around the things I am interested in... cooking, sewing, embroidering, gardening, painting... So when Cathy and Stacy of Summerland Mercantile asked me to teach a class about sewing on paper I was so incredibly, amazingly excited! I am going to be teaching March 19th, go here to sign up. Which leads me to my "Creative Crush"... follow me over to Under a Pink Moon to see more...
