I so admire Heidi for making this commitment, how fabulous is she.... (there is still time to donate)  good luck Heidi xxxx


I also have taught a two day work shop with 14....... 15yr olds, we bought lots of tee shirts and the girls had great fun customizing them with screen printing and foiling, transfer printing,  and the next day embroidery and patch-working and the biggest hit of all was thebadge making, they made so many badges you could hear them clattering a mile away..ha ha ..
these are the button badges I made....


At work I have been moved to technician for just the sewing and art work shops, and thought I would really miss printing and was so sad about it...... but I have been really lucky so lucky!! and at  home I have found and joined a small print group of old college friends, so I can screen print anytime I want now and won't loose my skills, which is so fabulous I can barely breath with excitement...... so I have made some napkins and place mats and can't wait to get going on with other scrummy ideas.
I have also been making myself some 'Journals' they take ages to prepare but have a really nice feel to them I have been decorating them with my art work  and will have a few for sale soon with my printed work. I have also finished work and have a whole summer off...can't hardly believe it.
Hope your all enjoying the sun when we see it

Joe Jonas: 'Hot In Cleveland' Details

TV Land's hit show, "Hot In Cleveland," is about to get a little hotter.

Joe Jonas is heading to 'Cleveland' to appear as "Will," Valerie Bertinelli's son in an upcoming episode. In the episode, Will Moretti (Jonas) comes to Cleveland to visit his recently transplanted mother, Melanie (Bertinelli).

The episode will air on August 11 and be taped in front of a live studio audience on July 17. Cambio will be chatting with Joe about the show soon. Stay tuned!

"Hot in Cleveland" which airs at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Wednesdays stars sitcom favorites Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick and 16-time Emmy®-nominee Betty White. It tells the story of three fabulous best friends from LA who find their lives changed forever when their plane, headed for Paris, makes an unexpected landing. When the friends discover that they are hot in Cleveland, they decide to stay. Starting over, they rent a house that happens to come with a very feisty caretaker (Betty White).

The show is hilarious and we're excited to see Joe guest star. Are you?

OK! EXCLUSIVE: Ashley Greene & Joe Jonas — London Love Fest!

He may have walked the red carpet with Nikki Reed at the Eclipse UK premiere, but Joe Jonas is getting cozy with another on-screen vampire — Ashley Greene! The hot young Hollywood duo have been spotted out together in London, a source tells OK! exclusively.


“Ashley brought Joe to the Kings of Leon concert in London, and there was definitely something going on, but it’s not serious,” a source tells OK!. “They went backstage and she was talking to the band a lot, and he was just hanging out.”


While there may be only some sparks flying between the pair, Joe, 20, seems very into Ashley, 23.


“I think he wants it to be more than she does right now,” the source adds. “She’s a maneater.”


A rep for Ashley told OK!, “they’re friends”.

Joe Jonas Gets 'Hot In Cleveland"

As if Betty White hadn’t already put the hot in the title of TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland, the show has just landed Jonas Brother Joe as a guest star.
The popster, whose acting credits include the Disney Channel flick Camp Rock, will appear in an August episode of Cleveland as Valerie Bertinelli’s son. And since the sitcom’s already been renewed for a second season, it’s a safe bet that his first appearance won’t be his last.
Your thoughts? Squealing like a teenage girl? Or bummed that they didn’t get Nick instead?

Twilight babe dates Joe Jonas

 

THIS could be a case of once bitten forever smitten because Twilight actress ASHLEY GREENE is going out with JOE JONAS.

Hollywood's hottest new couple tried to have a secret date but went to London's most exclusive restaurant The Ivy.
Joe, 20, and Ashley, 23, were in town for the premiere of the latest Twilight film, Eclipse. They tried to keep their dinner date hush-hush to avoid being spotted together, but I'm afraid you were rumbled, guys.
A source told me: "They had a very romantic night at The Ivy. They arrived separately and then left out by the back door where there were two vans with blacked-out windows waiting to whisk them away.
"They looked like a lovely couple. They had a few drinks and were clearly enjoying not being hounded like they would have been in Los Angeles."
I'm not surprised Joe, who famously claims he's a virgin, wants to keep a low profile over his relationship with Ashley.
The gorgeous actress is anything but clean cut after those naughty photos of her were leaked on the internet a year ago.
Despite his self-imposed sex ban, Joe is a bit of a heartbreaker after previously dumping American starlets TAYLOR SWIFT and DEMI LOVATO.
I'd be careful this time though with vampire girl Ash.

Swoons Follow Nick Jonas, on and Off the London Stage

LONDON — As if the 17-year-old heartthrob musician Nick Jonas needed another lesson in unrequited love to play Marius, the romantic lead in “Les Misérables,” 30 shrieking teenage girls delivered one at the Queens Theater stage door on Saturday afternoon as Mr. Jonas, in a black leather jacket and thickly gelled hair, stepped out of an S.U.V. on his way into the theater for a matinee performance.

“I want to smell you, Nick!” screamed Holly Roberts, 14, who had traveled here on a 6:45 a.m. train from Liverpool to see Mr. Jonas, one-third of the American boy band the Jonas Brothers. Not to be outdone, Ms. Roberts’s best friend, Amy Shimmin, also 14, yelled, “I want to die in your arms!” — a reference to the scene from the show in which Marius finally answers the affections of the character Éponine after bullets have cut her down.
Usually fans mob the stage door after the performance to seek a star’s autograph, as Mr. Jonas proves the enduring potency of casting a young rock sensation in a musical, even one that might be considered old hat after a West End run of nearly 25 years. His star turn, originally scheduled for just three weeks, has been extended through July 24 as he continues to prepare to take center stage at a huge anniversary concert of the show at the 20,000-seat O2 arena here on Oct. 3.

For Mr. Jonas, joining “Les Misérables” is not a summertime lark. While growing up in suburban New Jersey, he played the young street urchin Gavroche in the original Broadway production of “Les Misérables” during its final nine months, until May 2003, and at the last performance, the producer Cameron Mackintosh told the young boy that perhaps he would play Marius someday.
“At the time I remember thinking that I hoped ‘Les Miz’ would still be around by the time I was old enough for the role, which is kind of funny, because I now realize ‘Les Miz’ will probably play forever,” Mr. Jonas said during an interview after his driver and bodyguard, known as Big Rob, steered him from the fans and into one of the lounges of the Queens Theater.
“Les Misérables” was, in fact, the first show that Mr. Jonas ever auditioned for, when he was 7. He was offered the role of Gavroche in an American touring production, but his family declined because his mother was pregnant with his younger brother, Frankie.
He went on to be cast in a production of “A Christmas Carol,” playing Tiny Tim opposite Frank Langella’s Scrooge at Madison Square Garden, and then appeared in the Broadway musicals “Annie Get Your Gun” (as Little Jake) and “Beauty and the Beast” (as Chip) before finally joining the New York company of “Les Misérables.”

“Broadway was where I first started finding my voice as an artist and finding my feet as an actor, and the idea of returning to ‘Les Miz’ was about trying to develop more as an actor,” said Mr. Jonas, who is now also appearing with his two older brothers in the Disney Channel series “Jonas,” about three brothers in a pop band trying to live normal lives.
