It's Almost Here!!! (It's HERE NOW!) :-)

Here in Studio JHP we love searching out excellence in the handmade, upcycled, artisanal world of fiber arts. From hand-painted silk ribbon hailing from Oxford, England, to unique digital art that comes from a small town in Wisconsin, my goal as a teacher is to open my student's eyes to the possibilities of it all! Here is a sampling of what has come into the studio in the past few weeks.

Many of you may not know that JHP has a long history of designing church textiles; banners, altar paraments and things of that nature! This banner is a recent commission from a church in Lombard for a new baptismal banner. Many thanks to Vicki Welsh from Etsy for the beautiful custom dyed and painted fabrix that turned out exactly as I needed!

It's Almost Here!!! (It's HERE NOW!) :-)

A little entertainment before we begin...

Now, although these wonderful corgies were barking for the Queen Mum's 100th birthday... I am NOT the Queen... but I am a MUM... and I am most definitely NOT turning 100!! BUT, I am celebrating and NO you are not going to know the number... ah heck, why not! I'm turning a most exciting 52! I say exciting because some very cool things are happening in my life and so I would like to celebrate with YOU!

It's MY birthday but I'm going to give YOU presents! LOL! I like that! Tonight, starting at midnight ALL DAY LONG - UP UNTIL MIDNIGHT -(unless they are all found before then!) anyone who is a member of my blog is eligible to hunt on my website for any ONE of the NINE gift certificates that I will have hidden around the site... They are located on the blog itself and on any place that you can get to by clicking on a link FROM my blog... You didn't think this was going to be easy, did you? Just think of everything that you'll get to see!!!

Must be a Blog Member...

You can join the blog by any of the ways listed in the right side column; thru Networked Blogs, Rss Feed or Google Friend connect (which is tempermental and isn't always showing - Typepad thing). You can join thru my Facebook Fan Page - Just Hatched Productions - just look for a blog entry there and "Like" ... and click away.

C'mon...Join the hunt.

Once you find a birthday cake and my original Chick in the egg Logo telling you which certificate it is - come back and look at the comments to this post; if no one has comment that they have already found that certificate... start typing! Tell the world that YOU FOUND IT FIRST, leave your first name and email address so that I can get in touch with you. (Your email address will not show to others once you have posted your comments.)

Remember.. it's a CHICK in an egg.. not a BABY in an egg... LOL
