I had such a great time in Los Angeles the week before Thanksgiving — and of course one of the biggest highlights was teaching, shopping, and hanging out at the magnificent Felt Club Holiday XL event! The night before, I helped tireless organizer Jenny stuff goodie bags for the first 250 shoppers (everyone got a…
I went to Los Angeles to teach a Bead Simple demo — my very first book event — at Felt Club XL Holiday last week, which was so much fun! Thanks to Jenny for organizing such a fabulous event. I got to teach alongside my lovely guest designer Laura Stokes as well as Jamie Marie…

Tomorrow night (Wednesday 11/14) is the fantastic DIY Lounge/Collage opening party! It sounds awesome. Jen promises there will be raffles, prizes, in-store discounts, tasty refreshments and music by DJ Richard Rockstar!
