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
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
Apparently I’m doing something right. I’ve lost another 3.5 pounds for a total of 13 pounds since I started and 2.5 inches gone from my hips and another 2 from my waist. Those are only the numbers. Yes, they are amazing to see, but I don’t think there is anything that can truly measure how … Continue reading
I attended another gem show over the weekend. This was a much smaller show, so there wasn’t the selection I was hoping for, but I was able to pick up a few lovely pieces, though. I am now looking forward to the show in November. Hopefully there will be the number of cab vendors at … Continue reading

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 am getting ever closer to being done with the second version of the PMC dragon. It was incredibly difficult to make the decision to scrap the first one and start over, but I’m thrilled that I did. I have been able to make some changes to the overall design and to fix a couple … 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
