One World One Heart 2011: Twigs and Tulle

Welcome to ~*you*~, new and returning blog visitors!

Photobucket

My name is Michaele (pronounced My-kul, like Michael Jordan) and I'm so glad you stopped by to visit!  Whether you've found your way here from Lisa's master list of links, or from my first blog, Kindergarten's 3 R's (there's a giveaway going on there too for teachers/educators/homeschoolers/early childhood advocates!), I hope you'll enjoy your stay.

Twigs and Tulle is my second blog, created after I realized that at forty-one years of age, I compartmentalize my life between home and work: I'm a full time kindergarten teacher who immerses herself in the land of finger painting, math, literacy, and hands-on explorations by day, and a wife, mother, collector and crafter by night and weekend.  Consequently, I have many teacher friends, an ever-growing posse of crafty friends, and quite a few (most of them Alaskans, go figure!) who traipse happily between both worlds. Twigs and Tulle is where the non-kindergarten teacher part of my soul comes to share, create and explore.

I can be a bit rant-y at the ~other~ blog, though I do try to balance it out with colorful bulletin board ideas, silly stories, and helpful resources... darn you NCLB.

Ooh, glitter!  Pretty paper!  Ribbon!

That's me, Michaele-Who-is-Trying-to-Find-Balance.  Crafty interventions seem to help.

If you're a fellow blogger, I am SO looking forward to dropping by for a peek, a read, and hopefully a lengthy meander.  Lisa's... well, I suppose it's her brainchild, though it seems more to me like her heartchild... blogland event has introduced me to so many creative and friendly people, an incredible gift.

My present back to one lucky visitor?

Photobucket

A mini-bunting, made by me, of paper, tulle and ribbon... it's a small token of kissy affection, spanning only one and a half feet across in pennants, though the tying ribbons on either end lengthen it to almost three feet.

Pin it to a corkboard or pinboard display, drape it across a mirror or even tack it up above your own crafty workspace.  It folds away if you'd rather use it for future valentine or anniversary celebrations, but no matter when or where you choose to display it, I hope you'll enjoy, enjoy, ENJOY!

To win, please post a comment ~on this post only~, and make sure I have an email address or blog link (with contact info) for you in case you're the winner.

I'll be drawing the winner on February 17!

Happy reading!

  55. Hi Michaele... Thank you for visiting my OWOH post and leaving such a great comment.
    I am fortunate that where I live we are not receiving the horrible weather conditions being experienced in some other parts of Australia. My heart goes out to all those effected.
    Enjoyed perusing your blog. (Couldn't view your salt cellars because I'm on dial-up and it takes forever to load). Love the bunting you are gifting, please count me in.

  119. Hello Michaele,
    I have to say that being an educator, I, too, separate that aspect of my life from the rest of it most of the time.
    Your garland is beautiful.

    This is just beautiful and I would love to own it. This is the kind of thing I love to make...when I get the jewelry done! I am so pleased you told me you were a friend of Sheila's. She made me the most thoughtful, beautiful gift. I don't recall being so touched.
    I will put you on my Google Reader. Hopefully things will slow down at my house and I can make some lovelies with paper very soon. I just got a new Cricut with Christmas money and can't wait to break it out!

  177. HELLO MICHAELE,
    YOU HAVE SPUNK AND I LIKE IT...YOU HAVE TO FOR THOSE..WINK...ADORABLE KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN.
    MY DIL IS A TEACHER WITH HEADSTART AND BEFORE THEY MOVED SHE WENT AROUND THE STATE TEACHING COURSES TO OTHER TEACHERS...I WAS A NURSE FOR 20 PLUS YEARS.
    I LOVE...ADORE...AND AM DROOLING OVER YOUR MINI BUNTING. IT IS STUNNING.
    THE WREATH ON YOUR BANNER IS STUNNING...I THINK I COULD FIGURE IT OUT BUT WOULD YOU DO A TUTORIAL ON IT...IT IS FROU FROU AND ROMANTIC AND I KNOW MANY WOMEN WHO WOULD LOVE IT. I CAN TELL YOUR CLASS ROOM IS FULL OF EYE CANDY AS WAS MY SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS I HAVE TAUGHT OVER THE YEARS. OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS ARE HARD STATES TO BE HIRED IN FOR A TEACHER AND POOR BENEFITS...EVEN THE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS ARE CLOSING.
    WELL, I BETTER GET ON MY WAY.
    I WILL FOLLOW YOUR BLOG IF THE WIDGET WILL SHOW. BECAUSE LONG AFTER THE GIVE AWAY, IT IS THE FRIENDSHIP THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME...I MAY ALREADY BE A FOLLOWER...BUT I FOLLOW A LOT OF TEACHERS.
    I WOULD BE HONORED IF YOU FOLLOWED MY BLOG AND VISITED ME.

  183. This garland might look pretty durn cute in my bedroom after I finish the new paint colors. (looming on my To Do list, just finishing the painting in the kitchen at the moment). Your blog is lovely, I get a kick out of seeing what people collect. Eskimos huh? Now whenever I see them at thrift stores I'll undoubtedly think of you as I don't know any other Eskimo collectors. Do you just collect them as s&p shakers, or all sorts of other things as well? I don't normally collect Eskimo items but I picked up a beautiful sculpture of an Eskimo mother and child a few months ago for a dollar or so. I thought it was just a mass produced tchotchke but when I got it home I discovered that it was a one of a kind hand carved art piece. I must have a good eye! Anyway, I'm just rambling now. Please stop by to visit my OWOH posts as well - I'm #'s 865 and 866.
