The wonders of our world

We, not our outer circumstances are the catalysts for the quality of our lives. Not then, not now, not ever. I have this quote (no author) written in a small journal and very time I read it I am reminded that I control my life...I choose to become angry or joyful, sad or happy....productive or lazy. Today I walked outside into our wonderful front yard. 72 degrees at 6:00 a.m. and the sun just peeking through the trees. I got my camera to keep this moment in time for me and others to see the wonders of our world. No matter what is going on around us...we have choices. I choose to see beauty today and let the rest of the planet make up their own minds.

June 2010 Meeting

Cynthia shows off one of the necklaces made by one of the Fabric Floozies talented members, Susan Feldkamp. The club members try hard to encourage each others, as will as buying from each other.

CIFI in Albuquerque NM 2010

May 12th Doll Club Meeting

Another great meeting! I just love this group. The gang going to CIFI was all a-buzz about getting ready for the conference. Rose shared the polka-dot bags that we'll be using at the conference, and asked if anyone else would like to purchase one. Very cute bags by the way, and I don't think it's too late to let Rose know if you want one. $9.72 each! I think the colors are pink/green, brown/aqua, black/pink, but ask Rose to find out for sure.

Rose also shared that she will be selling purse hangers at the conference that say "I'm a Fabric Floozie!"
There were some very cute embellished hats, that were a part of the May challenge. I think the best news was our dear friend Susan was back after her surgery and seems to be doing very well! We missed you Susan!

The workshop was run by our very own Moon Goddess aka Cindi Phelps. She taught us how to make heirloom lace hair, using several different tools & a sewing machine. She demonstrated ones you can buy and she showed how to make one using anything from a coat hanger to wooden skewers! I learned a lot!!!

Next months workshop is on using Shiva Paint sticks for doing faces. I will publish the supply list when I get back from the conference!

Also, the June challenge is to decorate your tin that Rose gave us last month. Kudos to Amy and Deloris for already having theirs done!

Hugs to everyone!

Cynthia

April 14th Doll Club Meeting

Wow, this month's meeting was a blast! Our workshop this month was marbeling with Mary! Mary taught a great workshop on how to dye fabric using shaving cream and dye. I think eveyone had a blast!

Our challenge for this month was to make name tag that reflected who we are; I think Ms. Deloris get's the prize for making one that really looked herself. Everyone did an amazing job.

Next month's challenge is to decorate the hats and alter the treasure chest tins, compliments of Rose, and bring them next month. Our May workshop will be conducted by Cindi a.k.a Moon Goddess on how to make doll hair with the hair pin tool. More information to follow on what supplies to bring with you next mont.

Some sad news; Kathi will no longer be joining us as she got a teaching gig on Wednesdays, and our dear friend Susan fell and broke her sholder and will be out of commission for awhile. We miss you sweet friend!

As usual the meeting went by way too fast, but it was a great time for everyone!

More later!

Cynthia!

Wooo Hoooo

Can't wait! Tomorrow is the doll club meeting. I am finishing my name badge ~ and I have to say I really like the way it's turning out!

Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

Flower face pin

I enjoyed teaching a bunch of our group how to bead around a polymer face.  Everyone wanted to know what to do with them after they finished.  Here is one of the ideas I came up with.

Hope everyone had a nice Passover & Easter this year.
