It’s been forever, I know. Busy mixed with a little funk, I guess. Not so much going on in the kilns, but I did get all of my beading supplies moved from my ‘office’ to the studio. This meant a lot of deep cleaning, reorganizing and stair climbing(!), but I like it … I also …
Guess what? I have water in my studio!!! I KNOW, right?!?! How incredibly cool is that! So – from here on out, most days that end in ‘Y’, you can find me in the studio … Those projects I had going from the last post are done: A stringer bowl and several spoon rests (12 …
This means you, doofus! Or, more specifically, ME! I am currently the [not so] proud owner of about 5 pounds of seed potato pearls in every possible size from 3.5mm-5mm.

with surgeons and teenage girls had me excessively busy with my hands this week – as I tried to keep my mouth quiet! Special thanks to my dad, who let me vent about the surgeon. If you’re not going to listen to your patient, why bother talking to them in the first place?!? … ‘Nough said! …
This post is just because I can! And – because I have a few photos to share … I’ve been a busy beading-ninja! I’m working on bracelets and pins/pendants and wire-wrapping, OH MY! Here are a couple of bracelets – one done and one a work-in-progress: And, SHHHHHH – don’t tell anyone, but I’m …
That’s about how exciting surgical recovery is, on a day to day basis … for me. [No offense to lawn maintenance operators …] Or, more accurately, waiting for skin to grow (incisions to heal) … exciting stuff, I tell you! Or, it would be, if that’s all I had going on. Lucky for me, I …
