Great Mother's Day Gift!

Show Mom you appreciate her with this easy to make arrangement.

My "good friend Gwen", wanted an arrangement for her kitchen window  (it had the view of life, of Los Angeles).  She wanted flowering succulents.  So..., I purchased a unique basket from a thrift store, and the flowering succulents from "Home Depot" .  "Below are a few photos":

  

If your low on cash, this is the perfect gift.  It fits in any room in the house.  It last longer than flowers, and will continually be a reminder of your love and appreciation!

I hope this is an inspiration for you.  Thanks Gwen.

Remember to be kind!

Child's Room Decor

A simple and easy project to decorate/personalize you're child's room is to buy small white picture frames from the dollar store.   Purchase the letters of your child's name, paint and glue them to the frame and hang the frames with a coordinating ribbon  on the wall.  Love it!!!

The lamp is from IKEA!  Thanks joiousaffairs@Instagram.com for the design. 

This project could easily be done for a boy's or girl's room.  Enjoy!

Easter Center Pieces

Below are "a few photos" of ideas for Easter decorations: 

I love the fact that these projects can be made with containers I already have.
By combining eggs with flowers, candy with flower, or decorating your colored eggs using a gold metallic pen; you can create a striking center piece.  Photos were sourced from the internet.

74th Street School Log Cabin quilt art Project, Los Angeles

Teaching children quilting/arts & crafts has been a passion of mine for a very long time.  This semester, I've been volunteer teaching at the 74th Street Gifted and Magnet School.

I designed a cultural ,as well as, an artistic art project for the children.

The art project incorporates the popular log cabin quilt design.  The Log Cabin design's roots have been traced back to Egypt.  In the 1800's the center square traditionally represented the home. 

The children were instructed- the red square in the center represented their hearts.  Below are a few photos:

This project was done using glue sticks, a 2" X 2" red square for the center and  strips of fabric.

Thank you,

African Inspired Birthday Party

Ms J at "Joious Affairs Rentals & More" was commissioned to decorate her Bestie's Mom's surprise birthday party!

The request was for the party decorations to be colorful, festive and to embrace her Family's African heritage.  Bestie's Mom was a Ghanaian Ambassador, and was totally surprised to see all the family and friends that came to celebrate her  birthday.  Traditional food, prepared by family members, was served.

In addition to the decorating, Joious Affairs provided the tables, chairs and linens for the party!  Below are a few photos:

I hope this inspires you to incorporate your family's origin and traditions for your next party!

HOW TO MAKE FRINGE

To  give my purple patchwork throw a more contemporary feel, I decided to embellish it with purple fringe.  I sourced the internet for instructions on how to make fringe, below are a few photos of my results:

I decided how long I wanted my fringe

to be and made a pattern

anchoring the yarn with a piece of tape

I wrapped the yarn around the pattern 30 times-

and carefully removed it from the pattern

I tied a knot in the center with a piece of yarn
 approximately 6" and clipped both ends
 

approximately 1/4" down from the knot, wrap

another piece several times around the

folded yarn and tuck the end with a spot of

glue under the wrap

                    

 I hope you're inspired to add fringe to your next project!
