Debbie Dusenberry of Curious Sofa sent me these photos of the project she is making for Bird Song.
She'll be teaching these two sconce shades, and they are even more beautiful than I was expecting.
And you expect a lot from a lady of her talents!
Gorgeous, huh?
The classes are most likely sold out. I'm holding a spot for someone, and haven't heard back from her. So, if you'd like to be on a waiting list to join us the last day of April and first day of May, for classes in my studio with Debbie, Carol, Lisa, and myself, please let me know.
Debbie also sent me this picture of her supplies for the kits. Yum.
My thoughts have turned to the menus for the weekend, since I'll be feeding everyone breakfast, lunch, and treats both days. I've decided to order pizza for the evening meal that I am doing, so I can mingle and have fun with the group. All these great ladies are coming from all over the country to come and visit, and I hate to be so busy that I can't hang out with them!
It never hurts to plan ahead. I'm not a list maker, but I do plan non-stop in my head. There are a lot of lists rolling around in there, pages and pages of them. So, right up there in my noggin with the thoughts of what would make the best tasting chicken salad for my guests, and how long should the lace snippets be for my Paper Cowgirl kits, is a list of what I need to photograph and list for my Boutique grand opening (coming soon!!) and about a billion other things. If I took the time to write it all down, I'd never have time to do it all.
Also on that never ending list of lists in my head, is trying to figure out how to set up a linky party. Since we are having one next weekend.
Mrs. Staggs was the person who suggested the "Using the Good Stuff" challenge. And she has offered a giveaway on her blog for the day too. Here is a photo of her generous treats.
Please go to her blog for the giveaway rules. (I know I'd love to win those rose basket die cuts!!)
The rules for my giveaway of Besties?
Simple, just leave a comment on any post, up to and including the party.
I hope you will link up with us and show a project you've made with your favorite supplies- the good stuff that we tend to hoard and not use. It can be a blog post from your past, or something you have just made.
Please add info back to my blog from your posting, so everyone can see the rest of the parade of pretties.
Wish I could be at Bird Song. I know three of us who are eating our heart out. 🙂 If only you guys were in the warm, sunny south….
goodevening!wonderful ideas!
Those sconce shades are so pretty, sold out huh …and you were worried. Who wouldn’t want to come and learn from all of you talented ladies. The photo of laces and trims is mouthwatering. I’m looking forward all of the pretty projects.

Karla, If the someone is me that you were waiting for…I’m sorry I am unable to make it.
Maybe next time, I am very disappointed.

Those shades are so beautiful! Love them!
Well, now I understand why I don’t get things done — I do write out my lists, and, you’re right, it does take time to do that. Oh, the joy of crossing something off one of my lists, though!

Oh I wish I could join you for BirdSong, it sounds like so much fun!
The photo of those beautiful creamy supplies had me drooling, those pretty pretty flowers…. sigh.
soooo wish i was closer!!!! looks so amazing!!
The projects for your class are lovely, Karla.
There aren’t many rules for the give-away. Everyone who links to your site with their “Good Stuff” artwork, will be entered into the drawing for a chance to win.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
WOW!! Those scones are absolutely gorgeous!!! I can’t wait and now will be thinking about where to use them. I am so excited about Bird Song!! You are putting so much effort into this and I know it will be wonderful. Please don’t overextend yourself as I feel you might try to do… you just seem like that kind of person, Karla. Have a great week and I hope you get through your unwritten list quicker than you think!! Linda
Scones, sconces, there really is a big difference!! Would you believe I type for a living? ha. Anyway, the sconces are so beautiful! Would you like me to bring some scones when I come?? 😉 Linda
Hi Karla,
