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!

Luvs and Glitter~

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

Christmas Swappin' Goodness!

Well Hello bloggy friends I'm back! Well sort of Haha!

Moving is done, unpacking however 

well ya know how that goes....

Working on getting the studio up and running,

 while my internet access is at best iffy out here in the country.

I participated in darling Michele Askeroth's 

at Something Special~

Holiday Magic, Christmas in July Swap.

I want to show off my swap goodies from

 my sweet Valarie at Glittery Daze and Nights

How adorable is this sparkly creation she sent me?

I was squealing with delight!

I can hardly wait to display them,

but not only did she send that one but this,

 and this one as well!

 I am feeling a bit spoiled, that is a lot of work and the glitter is perfect,

and I just love the embellished Mercury glass bell!

These darling cupcake ornaments were whisked away by

the kids immediately for their trees without even asking.

I adore this party popper I didn't want to open it, 

but I am so happy I did:) look at the vintage goodies

that were hiding inside!

The sweet ornament kit, White Christmas CD, 

BLUEBIRD Christmas card

(click link to see it) and wonderful sheet music

and the rest of the delights will now become

part of our Holidays forever!

What fabulous treasures Valarie,

 you are too sweet and I cherish them all.

I am grateful for a friend like you in my life!

Have a great Sunday!

A peek at the new Villa...

We have had a wonderful year and a half here

but due to irreconcilable differences with people who are

not being honest we are moving.

 I am so sad to leave this gorgeous home

 We thought we would never leave but stuff happens!

At least we had a great 4th of July with 25

 friends and family and we celebrated 

My great aunts 80th

and her older brothers 84th!

I will miss the views and the spring and the beautiful 

craftsmanship, it was a treat to live here.

We put A LOT of work into this house.

 But we found a new place and a new adventure 

is about to begin. So between moving and opening the shop

BLUEBIRD LANE

I will not be blogging as much I have hardly at all

lately but do check in ya never know!

Visit the shop blog I've posted a peek of the bottom floor :)

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!
