When I was at Quilt Market people loved my bag so much I was practically accosted !!! Look at this Bohemian take on Belts with Sis Boom Bell Bottoms! Try saying that.......

George my Labradoodle is new to the cat world and I can't stop wondering what he's thinking...The neighbor
Cat lives with a big old lab so she is not afraid of dogs!!! This is a strange phenomena to some dogs who understand fight or flight mentality.... This one loves to bat George on the nose and rub up against him and he tries to hide behind me or pretend he's a statue!! The innocence is so sweet. This is the closest he's come in almost two years. We are so proud. 
I love my Make my Day category because it really and truly tickles me to no end to see what comes from all the talented men and women of the blog world...Check out what Nancy has done now.....Folks this is a real genuine floor matt...maybe she'll do a tutorial one day!! 
Something about Bari J. She's not only an amazing business woman but extremely grateful for the talents bestowed on her and sometimes I think that's the main ingredient for success.....GRATITUDE......She really takes the quilting fabrics to a whole new place and shows us how to work with every last remnant!! Skillfully she has created a wonderful business and shares the trials and tribulations on her blog. Honest and raw I appreciate every detail and her intimate sharing of heartache and rewards of perseverance....She tells us to Dream of possibilities...Can you tell I am crazy for this girl....Take a look at her site her ,her blog, find something for yourself or be inspired...whatever works...please wish her my best...J
Take a look...Nancy Geneay designs the prettiest quilts.... Taking a cue from one of my Bell Bottoms announcements she hastened a beautiful quilt that is just blocks of the fabrics free formed together....I even pretended it was a rug in this photoshoot!! I know I've shown a ton from this collection but I know I'll get an e-mail from someone who will see it for the first time so please indulge me.....Maybe you'll see something that inspires you and be glad I posted so many Bell Bottom views.....Next week watch for my blog aboutt Bari J designer extraordinaire who makes the most beautiful items from quilting fabric so stay tuned......
It was amazing!!! I got to see Meleen and her beautiful daughter Caroline who I met at Silver Bella!!....Terri Ventura was a fabulous Host even participating in class and designing her amazing cone with the face icon she has become synonymous with...Do yourself a favor and visit her new website...The glittered Maya Road die-cut embellishments were a big hit...and of course I brought the ever supportive girlfriend Nancy Deweir Geneaywho after making two amazing cones disappeared and was held hostage by the Tinsel Trading lure of creativity!!! Now because Tinsel attracts those that find inspiration in the wealth of creative fodder we met Heather Huey an incredible millinery talent who is camera shy!!!and then Lisa Kettell came by to say hello!!
The day could not have gotten any better...Thanks to all those who participated !!! xoxoxo Jennifer
Not me...... this lovely skirt my daughter is wearing!!!!!In the Arcade of our Vegas Hotel she played the Arcade slots for juniors and won a $300.00 dollar stuffed animal for our dog George...I know you moms are nodding your head...Matt and Kate kept winning thousands of tickets to cash in and could only afford a small stuffed thing...oh well.....it's the fun that matters...I guess....Lets just say we lost more money in the arcade downstairs then in the Casino upstairs!!!!
In the City that never sleeps join Jennifer and gal pals as they create fun Victorian Style Cones at the most wonderful store in New York City, Tinsel Tradingi , my personal embellishment store of all time.....Do not miss this extravaganza...
Bring a cup of Joe and settle into class this Saturday the 26th of April from 12-3pm and watch the creativity unfold in the most inspiring place of all time........oh and don't be late for class!! No need to dress to the nines like my show offy friends be comfortable...see you there..Jennifer
