Project Runway Redux! (SPOILER ALERT)

-
How many of you are Project Runway fans like me?  I LURVE that show -- sincerely, it's the only series I will make a point to watch on television.  This last season started out a bit dull (and Heidi was pregnant yet again!) but ended with a bang.  And the one I wanted to win most of all, DID!

 Seth Aaron!  Woo hoo!

one of his designs


Last week I was rolling on the floor laughing at Sandy from Quill Cottage's blog post about her studio.  If you're a Project Runway fan, you'll like it, too!

ooh, I know I shouldn't have read this, lol! I love Project Runway, but in Canada we are 2 weeks behind...last episode was the one where they picked the 3 designers going.
So now I know who wins, and it takes the suspense out of it. Oh well, I like Seth Aaron and am happy he won :-)

Laurie, I don't know much about project Runway, but I sure like your blog and I am wondering if you would like to do a little vintage swap with me. I can't believe I have not had any response for this cute little vintage swap. Check it out on a couple of posts down. I am just trying to find someone who will send me some little vintage goodies. I was going to put it into a little basket, but found this cute old ceramic cottage.

I was a Seth Aron fan too, but wasn't as thrilled with this season of the show. Usually, I am hooked, this time, I could take it or leave it. Of course, I took it, I didn't miss an episode, I'm too much of a tv junkie.

Ok, off to see what Sandy said!

Here's a tutorial to make sweet baby Jesus ornaments: Materials: 3/4" round wooden balls blue felt like-sized small wooden stars flesh-colored acrylic paint yellow acrylic paint black permanent marker small button as star decor raffia natural excelsior "moss" silver thread or coordinating yarn candy cane You'll also need glue or a hot glue gun, paint brush and scissors Begin by painting the wooden balls with flesh-colored paint and the stars with yellow paint. When dry, draw two sleeping eyes on the ball. Meanwhile, cut small pieces of felt and make little rolls to represent the baby's body; tie with a tiny piece of raffia. Next, glue the wooden ball onto the top of the body roll of felt; if you wish, you can also cut a small wedge of felt to glue over like a little swaddled hood on the baby's head, but I think it looks cute without it as well. Glue the l

Flagler College in St. Augustine: the Tiffany connection

-
Image
We visited this wonderful building that began its life in 1888 as a lavish hotel built by Henry Flagler, one of the founders of Standard Oil, and now houses Flagler College . It is such a beautiful old building and in it we saw: these fabulous Tiffany chandeliers... on a spectacular painted and embossed ceiling in one of the hotel's drawing rooms.   I apologize for the quality of the indoor photos -- it was quite dark in the building. I had to laugh at these painted cherubs on the ceiling... and the way their ribbony robes encircle the chandelier mount! This large clock over the mantle is special because it's a Thomas Edison clock and because it is made from one piece of rare onyx.  We were told that Edison's "signature" on his clocks is the use of the incorrect Roman numeral "4". But the most spectacular feature of the building is that Louis Comfort Tiffany himself made the stained glass windows. Most of Tiffany's windows a

O Christmas tree, jeweled Christmas tree...

Earlier in the season Rebecca and I went to a craft fair at a local high school, and there was one booth with the CUTEST little jeweled, framed Christmas trees! The gal was nice enough to let me photograph them.  Sorry it's kind of blurry, but it was dark in that high school gym! I know it's an older kind of craft (from the '60s and '70s) but she made them sweet -- not gaudy at all.  We were both SO inspired. So, last week we made it happen.  I brought a bunch of my old, broken vintage jewelry, some velvet, glue,  old frames, and we sat in her dining room and made a forest of little trees! It was so simple: first, we took a vintage frame and covered the backing with velvet.  We just glued it on. Then, we took our time arranging bits and pieces of jewels into a Christmas tree shape. When we were happy with the arrangement, we committed and glued the jewels down!  I love this avocado green velvet! And then we did it again.  We had so much fun playing
