This week marked a major milestone in my journey to better health. My scale broke me through the 50 pounds lost mark on Monday. I have now lost 50 1/2 pounds since this journey began last March. It is really kind of hard to believe that I’ve managed to do that. I never thought that … Continue reading
So, after more than a month off, it is probably time I get off my duff and get back to things. I haven’t been good at all about getting up and getting moving lately, though I did take advantage of one of the recent really nice days and got out for a walk. My first … Continue reading
Last week was crazy busy around here. I had people here on a couple of different days getting the new windows installed, vet appointments, doctor’s appointments, parent teacher conferences, helping my brother and SIL move, touch up painting the new windows (which of course led to a bigger painting project) and then finished the week … Continue reading
Last week was another really busy week that didn’t include an awful lot of me getting off my duff and moving. Most of the week was spent in the studio or running all over the place trying to get stuff done. I did manage to try out the new weight set and was once again … Continue reading
At my middle child’s last baseball game, I had another mom ask me about my jewelry. She already knew from previous conversations that I had an online shop so she knew that I made the pieces I was wearing.

This was something of a love hate project for me. I absolutely loved the design. I loved working with … Continue reading
I am still trying to finish up the dragon, but I’m running a test on a theory for setting the stone so I had some time this afternoon to work on uploading and listing the newest pendants I’ve finished over the last month or so. I’ve grown quite attached to these for some reason and would … Continue reading
After all the work I have put into this piece and all the problems I had on the first go round, you’d think I’d managed to work out all of the kinks, but apparently not. I’m still running into issues, but not as many as the first time around. I thought for sure that I’d … Continue reading
I keep thinking I’m going to come on here and post something, then stop and think that I should wait because I’ll have pictures soon of the current custom piece I’m working on. Every time I think that, I run into yet another problem that keeps the piece from getting finished. What started out as … Continue reading
Yesterday we had a late afternoon rain shower blow through here just as the sun was starting to set. It made a beautiful scene across the sky. It looked almost as if some amazing artist had painted the sky. I guess if you think about it, Mother Nature is one of the most accomplished and … Continue reading
