Sticks

In two weeks, I’ll be in Chicago, at the studio of bead artist NanC Meinhardt, participating in her workshop, “Artsticks. Or, I’m Not an Artist, I Can Only Draw Stick Figures.” Of course, one of the things I needed to do before I went to this workshop was to find a stick. Finding a stick … [View Details]
Work Table Wednesday

So, this is what I had going on my work table today, not that I got very much work done. The turquoise piece is a brass collar that I covered with leather, thinking that it was going to be a vehicle for a handmade ceramic cabochon by Marsha Hedrick. It was a learning experience in … [View Details]

We went to Target on Saturday to pick up some essentials before “the big storm” hit on Sunday. And wouldn’t ya know it – there, in the shoe aisles, were rows and rows of summer sandals and flip-flops. Not very nice to show someone who’s wearing sixteen layers of clothes and a fleece hat. So … [View Details]
Weekend!

This week went by way too fast. The days always seem to do that when I have a jillion things stacked up on my to-do list, waiting for me to get to them. But this week was very special… This is the only photo I had time to snap while teaching this week at North … [View Details]
I’m Having One of Those Days…
(0)
Where, despite my best efforts, I’m having a hard time seeing the good and the positive things around me.

It means that we’ve made it through the hardest (and coldest) part of the winter. It means that the days are noticeably longer. It means … [View Details]

Well, today’s the day! Unfortunately, I’ve been having some technical difficulties – with my LIFE. Things like getting ready to teach next week (the one week a year when I actually leave the house to work!) and then having a sick kid, getting sick with what the sick kid had… Those of you with kids, … [View Details]

That happens to be the name of one of my favorite movies (starring David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Sean William Scott and Julianne Moore and directed by Ivan Reitman – check it out!), and it also happens to be what’s been on my mind lately with The Book. It started out as a fairly simple concept, … [View Details]
Teeth

I had my “big” dental appointment this morning. All the fillings done across my front teeth, except for two near the back, because the dentist didn’t want to torture me too much in one morning. 3 hours, 3 shots of novocaine, two stainless steel posts and $800. (And that’s after our insurance company paid their … [View Details]
Beadwork That I Love

So, to get myself warmed up for working on the final layout for my first eBook (which should be in my Etsy store and for sale on the website here before the end of the week!), I’m going to do a little beadwork showcase for you. Contrary to what many people believe, I do not … [View Details]
