Ok, so it's been a little over a year since my last post. The world sure has changed and the change continues. It seems quite surreal if I let myself think about it too much. It's been a year of limited possibilities, and full of challenges and disappointments. In January, I made my first sourdough …
It's hard to believe that more than a year has passed since my last post! Here's a quick bit of catching up. Last year was full of family and fun, but not a great deal of creative work until.....the holidays were again on the horizon. My holiday season usually begins in early fall, with design, …
It was a busy time of making, baking, and fighting the never welcomed viruses of the season. I was hopeful about the baking part... I wanted to make Christmas cookies with the grandkids, my father in law's traditional nut rolls (thank you to Bob and Kathy for sending nut rolls!) and assorted pies and other …
Soon, the ornament making and cookie baking will be in full swing. But First.... A little look at our walk in the park! Deep breath in...... and out Before I dive deep into my busiest season of making, I'd like to reflect and share our alternative to heading out to the gym to hop on …

It's just after Thanksgiving and I'm on a third batch of annual ornaments for our town of Boulder Creek! It felt terrible to disappoint folks at the tree lighting and Santa sighting last evening. They had sold out before some could claim theirs. Not to worry, I'm cutting a big kiln load today and will …
Here's a little behind the scenes look at my latest custom order. I am honored to have been asked to make ornament keepsakes for The Ladies of Bonny Doon Club to celebrate the club's 75th Anniversary! They were to be a surprise for the members, so I couldn't post about this project until they've celebrated …
I've been busy adding earrings to my online store. Here's a snapshot of a few! Most are one of a kind in a wide range of styles and colors. You'll find these and more along with a great collection of my porcelain buttons! Much more in store! Too many to show here, right now. So... …
I've always cherished the crocheted lace doilies that my mom and great aunts had made. They graced most of the wood furniture in our house when I was growing up. I use them sometimes, but mostly just take them out for a look-see every once in a while. They all have a little different feel. Some are silky …
