Christmas Crafting

Hello! Yes, I am still out here even though it's been 4 months since I have posted! Summer flew by and once September came I got an early jump start on making Christmas things for All That Jazz. First up were these rosette snowflakes.

Reindeer gift tags.

Lots of candles!

Angel wing ornaments and butterfly wands.

After 2 and a half months of painting, printing, cutting, gluing and glitter I am nearly done with all the Christmas goodies and plan to decorate/stock up All That Jazz to the rafters soon!

Pink Saturday

It's summer, it's hot and the nieces and nephews are here. That means it's slip n' slide time! This little beauty is all decked out in her pink swimsuit ready to take her turn!

Meanwhile...

...around the corner sits the Man Cub. Pouting. Mad about the order the for slip n' slide line.
Ya can't win them all. Someone somewhere is gonna get upset.

Happy Pink Saturday and I hope you have the loveliest of weekends! Hop over to Beverly's How Sweet The Sound blog to discover more PS links!

Hello...Is anybody out there?!

Hi everyone! It has been forever since I have posted. Life just plods along and on. No major disturbances other than the fact that my beloved pomeranian Hollie passed away last week. I still miss her oodles but time is healing my heart. In the mean time I have been keeping occupied with creating, painting and stocking All That Jazz. This post shows the pictures from the "re-do" that I did a couple of days ago.

I made a few pillows. I recently ordered a few stencils from Maison De Stencils. The pillows that say Paris and Musee d' Orsay show some of what I ordered. They cost a pretty penny but I am hoping they will pay for themselves soon.

Vignette. I NEED this zebra table to sell! It had 4 chairs with it which I sold separately and now I am thinking I shouldn't have split the set up.

I just finished this piece and took it in. I had a very vintage cupboard I used to display a lot of smalls on and I sold it last month, very reluctantly because I LOVED it! Therefore I needed another big piece to display smalls on. I think it fits the bill rather well!

I refurbished these tins. They were originally white with red flowers, yellow with pine cones, blue flowered and bright yellow! Now they're a matched set.

I hope you enjoyed the tour! I am now going to go off and visit all my blogging gals I have so neglected!

Pink Saturday

Happy Pink Saturday!

It has been forever and a day since I posted but I have a very special reason today. This post is dedicated  to my sweet pomeranian girl, Hollie Foo Foo. I have done several posts featuring Hollie, but this will most likely be my last. We had to have our Foo Foo put to sleep last Sunday.

Hollie Foo Foo was 16 and a half and in reasonably good health. This last year arthritis set in in her back hips and she was having difficulty walking. I sort of had it set in my mind that we would probably have to let her go before winter came and walking became to painful but on Saturday I discovered she had thrown up and after that she wouldn't eat. I tried everything. It wasn't unusual for her to be ill once and a while, she had a gall stone that would give her a tummy ache occasionally but she would eat after a few hours. This time she wouldn't and she would just wander the house and stop and stand in place. An emergency vet appointment was made for Sunday and they determined she had probably had a stroke and could detect neurological damage.

We made the decision to let her go.

Oh this was so hard. I have never had a pet so long or been so close to an animal before. She had been with me pretty much every single day since she was a baby. Not having her around has been strange and has quite frankly, sucked. The daily reminders of her presence sent me to tears the first couple of days, her blankets and beds, dog food, leashes, coats hanging by the door, even her prescriptions in the bathroom cabinet, not being there at the door when I come in the house or curled up in her bed. Yeah, it all stinks.

Each day gets a little better and eventually I know I will only think of her with a smile and no tears. She was a gift in my life and I loved her very much, my little pink nosed pomeranian.

Spring...A New Beginning

I am soooo longing for Spring this year. Winter in the Pacific Northwest was very mild, not a lot of cold temps, wind or snow. Just lots of drizzle, but thankfully no heavy rains that bring floods. Everything seems to have moss growing upon it. Which I don't mind but what I really want is for the temperature to climb above 65 and STAY there!

I passed my 5 year blogging anniversary in January without noticing. Last year it was hard for me to capture the excitement and passion I once had, hence I hardly ever blogged. Quite a bit of that was due to an addiction to Pinterest! Then I discovered FB PAGES and spent time on that building my online presence for All That Jazz. It has been a great tool not only to share with local customers what's new with ATJ but also to connect with other vendors and see what trends are happening in other parts of the country. Finally, there is the little game called "Words with Friends" on FB that has captured my attention. I always have several games going at once and it can be hard to pull myself away from too. Sometimes I think all this technology available to us is to overwhelming, at least to me.

But lately I am feeling the pull to blog again, even if it's just a single picture with a few words. I am missing the blogging community.  So this is me getting myself together, and putting a stop to neglecting Loveleigh Treasures and my blogging friends!

Bring on Spring and bring on year 5!

Pink Saturday!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Thought I'd share some photos of All That Jazz since I've been neglecting sharing it on my blog and mainly post on my Jazz FB page.

Over the winter I kept my booth space in mostly creams and whites. Now that Spring is creeping up, color is creeping it's way into All That Jazz!

Longing for some SUNSHINE!  

I'll see a sneak peek tomorrow, then the rain is due back next for a week.

Pinks and greens and aquas are making an appearance with some lavender tossed in.

Green always makes me think of Spring.

I hope you've enjoyed a peek at All That Jazz.

It's been keeping me busy and I've been to lazy to post!
