FOWLER MUSEUM'S TEXTILE SALE

I'm a member of the Fowler Museum at UCLA.  At the museum's last textile sale fundraiser, I purchased this beautiful red scarf; I love it's deep red color and fringe.

and... I donated to the fundraiser was one of my original, handmade, burgandy and gold quilt-like throws.

Below are "a few photos" of the event:

I enjoy being a member of the museum and love the exhibits and special privileges membership affords me.   It feels good to know that my donation helps to enrich the lives of approximately 8,000 school children that visit the museum each year!

Infant "Get Well" DIY Gift

Our new member to the family, baby Chance" had heart surgery.  I'm happy to report the surgery was successful and he is doing fine.

Below is the gift box I made for him.

First, I found a small brown paper box and stuffed it with wrapping paper that I saved and recycled from stores that wrap their glass merchandise in.

Second, I wraped a beautiful chevron striped ribbon around the outside of the brown box to dress it up with color. 

Third, I placed a sheet of colorful tissue paper on top of the stuffed wrapping paper, bringing the paper in the box almost to the top of the box.  

Fourth, I placed the cute "Get Well Bear", (purchased from CVS) and several jars of fruit and finger snacks (purchased from Target) in the box and wrapped it in cellophane.  I tied everything together with the striped ribbon at the top!


                



A gift can be wrapped in a lot of other containers besides baskets.  I hope the "Get Well Bear" gift box inspires you to make this quick and easy gift for your friends and family!

Girls' Weekend Away

To celebrate her birthday, Ms. M. invited 12 of her closest girlfriends for a weekend getaway full of surprises!  As a thank you for attending the destination birthday celebration, each guest received a swanky personalized gift bag.

Each gift bag included a silk Kimono, selfie stick, sparkly personalized wine glass and spirits!  Excited guests rode the Pacific Surfliner along the beautiful coast of California to reach their destination. 

Below "are a few photos":

Looks like everyone is having a great time!  Happy Birthday!!

Bridal Shower Decorations

For Ms. J's (soon to be Mrs. J) bridal shower,  I decorated a wire mannequin with white tulle, fresh eucalyptus and crystals.  

The mannequin was dressed with a petticoat folded and gathered to the side- then covered and tied with tulle.  The train was left long to welcome guests into the beautiful, Pink Studios, venue.   It was an unexpected piece at the entrance and help to set the ambience for the shower.  


  

I hope you are inspired by this project to create something wonderful for your bride-to-be!

DIY Valentine Gift

This is an easy to make valentine gift. 

Start by selecting a variety of cotton prints.  I mixed in a couple of heart pattern prints.  Next, I cut out alphabet letters in paper.  Finally I used the paper alphabets to cut out the fabric prints and stitched them onto the tee shirt! 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!💗
