Birds of a Feather: I Love Coffee ~
http://hkwdesign.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-love-coffee.html
Tuesday, December 01, 2009. I don't drink it, but I sure do brew up a lot of it! Dyed coffee filter wreaths were the centerpieces on each table at my recent event, and were the raffle prizes. They were a big hit! So much so that several of the women ran home to dye coffee filters, and will be back here Friday night to make wreaths and I finally. Got my dining room cleaned. Well, I guess we call that a blank slate. The glue guns will be fired up and the glitter flying! Creating in the ballroom. Dip a whol...

Birds of a Feather: Fairytale Magic ~
http://hkwdesign.blogspot.com/2011/10/fairytale-magic.html
Sunday, October 16, 2011. A little fairytale magic happened this past weekend in Asheville, NC. I am so envious that I was not able to be at my friend Jenn's fabulous event. But I was a little part of it she asked me to create these swan ornaments for each of the lucky guests! I used the "good stuff" and had fun creating all the glittery and dyed elements. Each was finished off with a tiny pearl and gold crown. It was hard to pack them up and send them on their way. Posted by Birds of a Feather. Shopping...

Saturday, July 30, 2011. Big Girl's Big Day. Today is my Big Girl's 21st birthday so hard to believe! So a box filled with party things and a crown (made from a dollar store find, not my best but it will do,) were shipped off with lots of love. And I found a bakery nearby and ordered her favorite cake to be delivered. I love making all the fun party things myself, but I came across this cool company. Posted by Birds of a Feather. Happy Birthday to your daughter! Congratulations on your daughters 21st!

Birds of a Feather: A Flea Market Picnic ~
http://hkwdesign.blogspot.com/2010/05/flea-market-picnic.html
Thursday, May 13, 2010. A Flea Market Picnic. I have wonderful friends. Tamsen, Janet and I. Many years ago Tamsen started the tradition of packing a picnic lunch to bring to Brimfield. I didn't really give much notice to the large backpack she hauled - I was focused on treasure hunting after all. Not only was it sweltering hot, but that thing must have been heavy! Cloth silverware holders tied with a bow for each of us can you imagine! And sweet Heather surprised us with gifts eeek! What a wonderful gro...

Birds of a Feather: Lighting up my life ~
http://hkwdesign.blogspot.com/2009/03/lighting-up-my-life.html
Friday, March 06, 2009. Lighting up my life. It's been a long time since I played with coffee filters. The last time was when I was in art school and had to create a wearable design made from anything but fabric, which was very fun! It seems there has been a resurgence in the simple coffee filter as an art medium, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon. This string of lights now brightens my entryway (inspired by Andrea. Who used sewing pattern paper and Candylights. Was a way to pass this looong winter!
