A Day at Pinners Conference in Pomona!

I hadn't really planned for sure if I was going to go to Pinners in CA this year but my friend Helen messaged and asked me if I might be going. Another friend of ours, LaWanna, had expressed interest in going so we worked it out that we would go one day - Friday - do the general admission ticket which let us access all the booths to shop + make & takes and then a ticket to participate in the girls night out from 4-8pm and that included 1 class.

Neighbor Paint Nights

 

For a few months now, a couple of my neighbors and I have been gathering to do paint nights. It's been fun to work on our skills and try something that does not come super easy to us (well, to those of us who have not been doing this for long). Keep reading to see what we've painted this summer!

I may have to come back and update this post with more photos in the future but I am still super into doing Diamond Dotz, whether with a kit or freestyling. Keep reading to see the projects that have been done lately by myself and Tony's nieces.

My friend Heather told me about a cool way to paint rocks and I agree, it is a fun look to do the paint base layer in this way. Keep reading to see how this is done.

Society of Wildflowers Conference ~ Day 3

 

Final full day of the Society of Wildflowers conference was Saturday, July 20.

 
Sunday morning most everyone had stuck around but some were going on the optional Disneyland day trip and other's were staying in the area to do other things but a handful of people (like myself) did go back to our respective homes. There was still a lot of fun to be had on Saturday though!

Society of Wildflowers Conference ~ Day 2 ~ Featuring the Sawdust Festival

Day 2 of Society of Wildflowers conference was a bit more for me in the fact that I was teaching my first class today! So I did not take as many pictures during the conference for that reason I guess, because I am not finding much in my camera roll.

Society of Wildflowers Conference ~ Day 1

I've been hearing about the Society of Wildflowers conference since around spring 2023. I was invited to teach a class so I blocked out 5'ish days in July 2024 and here we are! I am not going to talk about the behind the scenes and being a volunteer, in this post I am going to focus on the conference and what it had to offer.
