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 …
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... …

Once again, I'm playing catch up. It's been a long while since my last post. Not that there hasn't been quite a bit going on, I've just not taken the time to put some of it into words. My last post was to provide a little sneak peek into an exciting opportunity I had through The Artisan …
Just one hundred pair of earrings. Only 100, well 200 pieces. That's all! It didn't seem too nutty at the time, and doesn't now that I'm almost finished either. It was a pretty big commitment for a really cool opportunity that I'll let you know more about pretty soon. After cutting and shaping the first 150 …
So, there's this basket of earrings just waiting for their close up. They are the first in a line-up of earrings, buttons and even some cool tatting shuttles that I will list in my Etsy shop very soon. Well, that is if I ever decide how I'd like to photograph them! I don't know why …
Mother's Day 2014 has been a day with my attention focused on some special new moms. A pair of my earrings have been included in gift bags given to a select group of new celebrity moms by The Artisan Group. Each new mom will receive many gifts including items for baby, jewelry, personalized stationary and …
