Hand Knotted Rug Class

The class was full Thursday evening. The ladies all brought their own fabric to make a rug with colors of their choice.
My sweet mother came to help teach.
The next workshop is the Music Wreath Workshop on March 29th, at 6 p.m.
This is being posted on my iPhone , so I am sorry if the pics are not in the right places.

A Chair Redo

I want to share with you a chair redo I did last week.

This chair is a favorite at the house because it is easy to move from place to place as it is needed.  It is also comfy to sit in.  However the color was not my favorite.  It needed to be "dressed" in new clothes.

Before

After

I chose to leave the wood as it was.  I like the contrast of the dark wood and the grain sack.

A side veiw.

I love the stripes from the stitching.

So there you have it!  I love her new "clothes".

What have you been working on lately?  Do you have any projects that you have finished?

A late post about the Blog Forum

 I don't know where the time has gone but I am behind in my blogging.

A week ago we held our first Blog Forum.  It was a huge sucess, and for those of you who missed it, we will be doing more.  I just have to figure out the dates.

First I want to thank Courtney from

~French Country Cottage~

 for being our special guest and for answering so many questions that were brought up that night.

Here she is surrounded by ladies, teaching them how to do a link party.

Everyone was willing to share ideas and tips.

There was lots of conversation flying back and forth. 

 Everyone agreed that we NEED to get together again.

We had a combination of ladies who have been blogging for quite a while with lots of followers, to a few that are wanting to start their own blogs soon.

Here are two of the cutest bloggers.  (Oldest and youngest.)

So if you missed out, never fear, we will do this again, and probably again.

  Whether you have been blogging for quite some time,

 or if you are struggling with some of the aspects,

 you want to get your name out there,

 and meet some fellow bloggers,

if you are young or old,

sign up for our next class.

I'll keep you posted as to when that will take place.

Attention Local Bloggers ~ Repost

As most of you know we hold Worshops here at

The Vintage Bricoleur.

On March 1, 2012 we will hold a Blog Forum.  I am excited about this.  My idea is to get local bloggers together (or those who want to start a blog) to share their own blogs, share a few of their favorite blogs.

AND...

A special guest will be here to help answer any questions that you might have.  She will be able to help with how to do link party, how to do a Giveawy, blogging for bliss vs dollars and so much more! 

What an opportunity to meet face-to-face with other bloggers and to get your blog name out there to grow your blog.

So if you live in the general area of Sacramento, sign up to be a part of this Workshop.
Call (916)261-9079
or email terry@thevintagebricoleur.com

 The class is $25.00.  Bring your laptop if you like.  (And your camera as any good blogger should.)  You will be able to enter your name for a drawing at the end of the class.  Refreshments will be provided.

Here is some feedback from one of our workshops,

Good Morning,

    I just wanted to take the time to Thank You for the wonderful evening.  I really enjoyed the class and love my necklace.  You have such a lovely shop that it is like going to a relatives for the holidays.  You know, when you look forward to seeing how they have decorated.  You have such a warm and loving enviroment that it is enjoyable to spend time admiring your disign ability and your warm spirit.  

thanks again, 

Isn't that nice?

  We love doing these Workshops and I think this

 Blog Forum

 is one that we will be repeating often.
