If your assuming I’m not writing on my blog because, I have nothing going on… no not true! I have had the best time the last few days. It started with a road trip to Chehalis, with my friend Sheila. She was taking a class from Julie Haymaker Thompson, that Terri Brush was hosting in her home.
Well what a coincidence, I was doing a “ secret project” for Terri and why wouldn’t I accept the invitation to stay at her beautiful home and do the “project” there?
I loaded up the sewing machine and all the vintage paraphernalia, I could fit in a BIG suitcase. We took off, (only an hour late) and junked our way north…
We were greeted by the welcoming committee,
Ozzie
Dinner was served
Birthdays were celebrated.
All the guest got a beautiful present, here is mine
I love it but now I have a dilemma,
Should I wear my pearls?
Should I wear my diamonds?
Should I wear both?
That’s what I thought too!
While I was busy working on the “secret project”.
This is the class sample, that Julie was teaching.
Look what the ladies learned in the studio.
These are even more amazing in person.
On Sunday Julie taught this class.
I emptied 3 spools of thread that I took for the project! I had to stop sewing when I broke the only needle I brought with me!
But I am happy to say I finished the “project” and I had a great time doing it!
I am so excited that I will be going to Terri’s
What a treat to be totally pampered and surrounded by a fun bunch of ladies, learning new techniques and having time to work on them!
The “secret project” will be unveiled at an event Tiffany is hosting for 15 women, this Saturday. I will post some pictures after that. It is all very exciting, be sure to stop back to see what kept me
“with the pedal to the medal”.
WOW!! What a beautiful time you must have had. Everything looks fabulous. Great post.

I can not wait to see the post about Terri' special class but google is having problems with images coming up with her post right now and I was off line all last week. I bet the girls LOVED your booklets and her classand the whole wondeful treatment that wetn with it all . I am so happy to have my own special "Joy" booklet that you made for me !!It is almost as lovely as you and it will always remind me of when we meet and became friends!!!
