Did you notice the new button on the side bar of my blog? I'm so excited to announce that my friend, Jenn Hayslip has asked me to teach a mini workshop during opening night at her fairy filled event next October in North Carolina. I was at the first art party that Jenn ever threw, I so I know just how beautiful her events are. And this one is all about FAIRIES! Right up my alley!
I'm honored to be a part of it all! The instructors are:
Dee Faust, Andrea Singerella, Lori Oles, and Natasha Burns.
You can check out Jenn's blog for details and gorgeous graphics. See how cute the frames for the teacher's pics are. This gives you an idea of what the weekend will be about, romantic, fluttery sprites, magic and make believe.
These babes aren't your childhood fairy tales…. no, these will be lush, lovely, and luxurious, grown up and gorgeous fairies. I hope you'll join us there.
And here is another fabulous fairy, my Gypsy Girl and her tummy ful-o-baby.
She had a rough night, we thought that that our family's newest fairy was about to have her birthday, but the contractions stopped again.
A good, and generous friend, who is a professional photographer gifted my son's Beloved Gypsy Girl with a photo session of her baby to be. I went along to make sure she didn't over do it (she's on bed rest) and to snap a few photos with my own camera too. These are a couple that I got while taking advatage of all the cool lighting my friend had set up.
She is a beautiful lady, isn't she? Hard to believe she is the mother of SIX. I'm so worried about her own health with the off and on labor that has been going on for weeks. During this pregnancy we've grown close and I love her like my own now. I've been lucky with the girls my son has brought home. Sugarwing's Hippy Chick Mommy will always be my little girl too, and we've found a way to make our unusual family all work together. You can't have too many people to love.
Please keep my baby girl and her expected baby girl in your thoughts. Its not been an easy time for her, she's been in a lot of pain. We are all waiting impatiently for our fairy tale happy ending when Mayara is finally in our arms.
Beautiful photos! Praying for a safe delivery for mother and sweet Mayara!

Those photos are great of the gypsy mama!Poor girl! I was in labor with my son for 6 days every night from 10pm till 6am they would go to every 15 minutes and then during the day, every half hour! I was miserable and worn out! Lets hope that sweet baby comes soon!

Those photos are so beautiful Karla. Not taking anything away from your photo taking skills, but don’t pregnant women just glow. Such a magical time. Hope all goes well over this last part of their pregnancy journey.

Those pictures are wonderful and sending warm fairy wishes your way. I loved Jenn’s first event and working to arrange to come to Asheville–gosh, it’s just up the mountain from me.
Awww, she’s so beautiful…she just glows! And capturing her tats in the pics just makes the photos look even more magical…love those butterflies!
I’ll be praying for both of your precious girls.
She’s a beautiful girl. I will keep her in my prayers!
I am so excited about Jenn’s event. That will be in my home state so I will definitely be able to come! That is so awesome that you will be teaching!

What gorgeous mommy to be photos those are, she is just glowing! Keeping you all in my prayers for baby’s safe arrival. I agree, you can’t ever have too many people in your life to love. Many blessings on your new little one!
Darnit! The 25th is a GREAT day for a baby!! (my birthday) Good luck! You guy are all in my thoughts!
Finally something wonderful I can go to. I live an hour and a half from Asheville!! This is so exciting. Hope your grandbaby arrives safely. My 2 year old granddaughter was in a car wreck today and I know how scary it is when you are worried about those babies.
Karla,
She is so beautiful. I do love photos of pregnant women! I hope the rest of her pregnancy goes well. Oh, you are the perfect teacher for the fairy program. It looks like a wonderful event! Have a great time. There are so many fun programs going on right now, however, I am just trying to get the darn SB swaps done. Next year, one swap!!!!!!!
Hugs,
Suz
P.S. There is a lovely joint jewelry swap done by myself and Robin Thomas (A Nest with a View). We would love to have you come and sign up.

Beautiful pictures!
It’s such a blessing for a mother to love the woman he brings
home. I think it’s so exciting that sugarwings will have a little sister. My nephew is 8 and his brother is four. They are such good friends, now.

Once Upon a Dream workshop.
Hugs,

As usual, I love the photography and your sentiments. “You can never have too many people to love.” How beautiful. Good luck, thinking of your family now and hope all goes well for a beautiful baby.
I didn’t look that fabulous before I had children…much less afterwards!
Hope all is going smoothly. Mayara…perfect name for a gypsette.

Hope & pray everything goes smoothly.
Also, love the idea of you having a teaching class, in the upcoming craft event. I know you will blow them away !
Love & prayers,

She’s a beautiful young woman — and I’m so envious of her fertility! I love how you said your family works together, and you’re right: you can’t have too many people to love! Congratulations on teaching a class next year — it sounds like a lot of fun!
Looking so forward to the event and seeing you, Karla!
My prayers are with baby and mama….hoping for a quick and healthy birth.
hugs,
andrea
I love how you embrace your world and those who flock to you!
Gyspy Mama is beautiful; I will be happy when the new baby has arrived, safe n’ sound!
The class sounds wonderful I live in NC, might have to try to get to this one. I think it is 5hrs away, west in the mountains! Lovely country, so they say(I’m a transplant from New England)~
Hi Karla, Wow what gorgeous photos of the mommy to be!! I am always so impressed by the family photos you have for memories! Those butterflies are beautiful:-)))
