Sneak Peek!

A work in progress, hopefully to be finished and listed this weekend (along with some other goodies!):



And a shot of my studio audience:



(This is Pumpkin and Spooky. Not pictured: Monster and Boo--although Monster is actually on the lower tier, he just didn't make it into the frame). They like to watch me work.


Happy Friday, I'll see you this weekend in the shop! ;)

PS. The Simple Dimples are back in the shop!

I know I should be more professional about such things...

But...  WOOHOO!!


I had my best day ever  in the shop today and it felt really good. Thank you, thank you to my wonderful supporters out there. You rock my world!


Now I must get my nose to the grindstone and get my little shop restocked!


On that note, I did add this to the shop late last night:




White jade and sterling. Strung on a simple sterling bead chain to keep it on the affordable side.


Despite the fact that school starts next week (well, officially it starts tomorrow but I don't have classes on Fridays this semester), I will be spending extra time in the studio over the next few weeks so I can get some new items made and listed for you (and for me, because let's be honest, I do this for me). So keep an eye on the blog and my facebook page for news about shop updates.


I also wanted to take a little blog space to rave about my incredibly talented family. I mentioned after Christmas that my 8 year old daughter, Aidan, had taken up sewing and was proving to be quite the prodigy? Well, here are a few of her creations:



Grandparents, commence the oohing and aahing!


And not to be upstaged by our 8 year old, the Foxy one has been stoking her creative fire as well! She took a printmaking class over the fall, and our darling feline Spooky proved to be the perfect screenprinting subject. Here he is at Stephanie's art show debut:



And this one, which she just made for fun at home, is going in my studio:

Yep. My family's pretty darn awesome.


I'll be back again with more soon. I finally replaced my 5 year old laptop, so picture editing and blogging won't be such a  time suck! Woohoo!


And happy Friday (in 10 minutes CST!)

A New Ring

Well, I didn't finish all three pieces, but I did manage to squeeze in enough time in the studio to finish this one:


Winter Forest Ring





Medicine Bow dendretic agate and sterling silver. I really, really ♥ this ring! Wish I could keep it for myself, but the shop is looking a little bare these days.


It's there now.


Happy Sunday!

Snow Days

Just a quick post to let you know that I have a few items on my bench just waiting to be finished. I hope to get them finished and in the shop before the end of the week.


In other news, we finally got some snow!! Aidan even had a couple of snow days and got to go sledding. But I think she enjoyed this just as much:
