I could blog forever...

  It would take so long to catch you all up
 but honestly, 

I couldn't type that much if you paid me. 

 So here's a little something I made for
 the dolly's 15th,

a little pink fun to wear on her special day.

I guess this proves I am still alive and crafting!

Yay for 2011!

Hope everyone is having a 

wonderful New Year!

I am looking forward to things settling

 down a bit, ha, but I doubt it.

Sad to say I had no time for

J. Nichelle this Holiday Season

but I did do a lovely custom piece for a 

sweet client.

So 2010 wasn't completely 

without any vintage delights :) 

Oh and some picture frames,

 I have one left I think I'll list this week

I am however working on some fun things.

I hope all of you had a lovely

holiday season I miss you

and hope to blogging regularly soon.

My blessed mess...

I am blessed with a wonderful mess!

My sweet mamma has been helping me unpack and

 restack the new tchatchkie heaven!

two 39 gallon trash bags full of bubble wrap and 

2 of peanuts 24 boxes 

and this enormous pile of rubber bands...

Here is a close up of moms two favorite shelves

She also pointed out to me how many of the "girls" looked

like the fabulous Doris Day!

Here is the progress on the other side

And here is the full view of the new "digs"

I am hoping to be finished by weeks end, 

pray hard for that one girls!

Many new songs have been made up about the tchatchkie 

and many new forms of spelling and LOTS and Lots of jokes!

maybe I'll share some but not tonight...

Have a great week!

Deck the Halls Friday I am glad to be back!

Here is a peek at our entry last Christmas,

the photos are not he best but you'll get the idea.

I may have even showed this before but 

I can't remember! HAHA

I LOVE Annalee Elves

And over the years I have collected the penguins and 

polar bears, it's such a fun display for the kids.

This is my favorite piece I like to decorated

 it with vintage for each holiday.

The apothecary jars are filled with snow and 

a bottle brush tree then a vintage salt and pepper snow couple

those were my favorite things last year.

I put the Manger in the entry China cabinet each year

It keeps it from getting knocked over...

And up top is the very first bottle brush anything 

I did. The kids and I did the houses in '07

and the piece on the right is the first J. Nichelle prototype.

Don't forget to visit our

Where J. Nichelle creates on a Pink Saturday

Well here we are on a

Pink Saturday with Miss Beverly

showing you 

Where Blogger's Create II

with Karen Valentine!

Well I'm sure my blog post sharing our creative spaces 

will be unlike anyone else's!
I wanted to makeover my space,
but it just didn't happen

I wanted to clean off my table and get everything
 neatly in order for you but
No luck!

 dusted reorganized neat and clean, NOT here,

Finished and hung till they are for SALE,
 NOT quite

neatly hung spools organized by color,
IF only

One of my armoires refinished in 
aqua and white crackle to house my treasures
I don't think so

The mantle redone to reflect hubby and I's style
HE wishes...

All of our bathroom built-ins emptied that 
house CHACHKE HEAVEN 
As my kids have come to call it "where old 
unwanted chachkes go to get a new life"
they are working on a commercial...

finish the wreath  I started last November 
when I realized I had pneumonia, NAH

Get the two pieces of broken glass repaired 
so I don't have to dust the Christmas all year
That is just plain silly!

How about that new custom cabinetry made so 
everything is displayed so I can be inspired
HAHAHA

Well this is what I have to share 
at least it's an honest post!
I really did consider going and burying 
my head in the sand,
 calling in sick or even stealing photos of 
someone else's space and saying it was mine.
Well I've given you the truth and the
 worst at night iPhone photos possible!
If it were daylight you could see I have an 
ocean view out that window and that this is in my bedroom!
I am however grateful for the space I can call MINE!
Hope you have enjoyed laughing along with me, 
How else could I post my dirty laundry hee hee :)
Have a wonderful weekend!

Holiday Inspiration Friday

What in May? you ask , well of course!

 I have had the ipod crankin' my favorite Holiday tunes or 2 weeks now, I couldn't possibly create for Christmas and not be in the holiday spirit. My family thanks God daily for earbuds although I have been told I sing along very loud and off key, OOPS!

I decided to join the darling
Tammy of  Tinsel and Company (the blog)

on her very first

Holiday Inspiration Friday!

Here is my very first piece of J. Nichelle Holiday 2010.
It is a lovely custom piece for sweet Joy!

I did a similar piece last Christmas, she liked it so much she sent me the planter
and the elves and I did a little magic in the workshop...

If you haven't been please go and visit
 Tammy's amazing shop

 Tinsel and Company (the shop)

SPRING Cleaning!

Hi my name is Jennie and I am a messaholic!

phew there i said it out loud. (when I was a teenager sometimes it would be 2ft. deep of clothes and shoes in my room) Not that my living room is ever a mess or unstraightened ( my type A hubby is a neat FREAK) but when I do projects I get so involved it's overwhelming (it only lasts a week at most) but this time my studio was totally out of hand I could no longer move or make anything else! I unpacked 13 boxes of easter supplies that I left in the garage and OH was it something to find space for it all! It was a literal mountain of vintage on my 9ft. table! 6 hrs. later I was sobering up from my mess :)

Sorry there is no before picture that would be WAY too embarrassing! and to some of you this is still to cluttered ( but I do have 3 project going on there) but to me it's 6 GLORIOUS feet of clean wide open space! I might be having a destash sale here soon.
Some day I'll show the uber organized other side of the studio but I had to get this off my chest :)

Be sure to check out my sidebar for the FANTASTIC giveaways out in blogland right now, you won't want to miss them!
