My Current Project - Inspired By The Hometalk Meetup At Cutting Edge Stencils

This week's hashtag is #MyCurrentProject - anything you're currently working on, be it in your home, garden, or anywhere else. I'm a bit behind on my new year's resolution to update my living/dining area, so this outing to Cutting Edge Stencils was exactly what I needed! Janna and Greg, the owners of CES, are so talented and passionate about what they do. It was a wonderful experience. Now I'm all ready to get started. Wish me luck, and give me a few weeks, ok? :-)

Names from left to right: Laura, The Shed blog by Pet Scribbles, Evey's Creations, Eclectically Vintage - Kelly, me, Days of Chalk and Chocolate, City Farmhouse, Finding Home, and Janna from CES.

What an amazing time we had Miriam I ! Janna and Greg of Cutting Edge Stencils couldn't have been nicer - and I learned so much - and overcame my fear of stenciling a wall!! And that stencil level is pure genius! Meeting my fellow bloggers was the icing on the cherry cake stencil!

This sounds like it was such a fun outing. The wall looks awesome. I haven't done allot of stenciling, and never on a wall, but I love using the the large ones on furniture.
Miriam, I'll be looking forward to seeing what your current project is, but I'll also be patient. I totally understand how life can get in the way. All too well in fact.

Oh! I wish I had been there! I have never done stenciling, but love the look. AND I do love the HT hats! Is there a HT store?

Jamala W and Jeanette S anyone can have their own Hometalk meetup! :) There isn't a Hometalk store, Jeanette, but we send hats out to people who have meetups. You would ADORE stenciling, btw. It's so easy and the results are beautiful. Thanks everyone for your encouragement! Becky exactly! :)

I had so much fun meeting everyone! Greg and Janna from Cutting Edge Stencils - as well as their assistants - were so helpful and generous with their time! I'm looking at my plain walls much differently now. Luckily, my husband is all for some stenciling action, so I hope to share something soon Miriam I! But I need a little time too. ;)

It will be fun to see what you do Miriam! I still think it seems daunting, I don't know if I'd have the nerve to try it. :)

Debbie Borthwick if I can do it, I have absolutely no doubt that you can! Eclectically Vintage - Kelly just put up a wonderful tutorial on how to stencil that I plan to use: http://eclecticallyvintage.com/2013/02/how-t...

I did see her post on the stencils, it is well done! I suppose I could start with a very small wall and see how it goes. One day...

When exactly (to the hour please) can I expect your reveal post? I'm booking off work to witness this! :)
All kidding aside, this looks like it was a fabulously fun event! Your stencil and colour choices are gorgeous! Here's a cool shot of our Miriam at work... taken by Laura Kuhlmann.

It's only paint Miriam. If you do happen to make a mistake you paint over that area and redo it. Before you start put on your favorite music and go for it. You'll do just fine dear.
