No Excuses (well, maybe just a few)
Ummmm – excuse me while I sneak in here and pretend I haven’t been missing for the past six months(!). But I do have several good excuses; 1. I opened a brick and mortar shop, which keeps me pretty...

All Doweled Up
I found some dowels and bun style armoire feet in the garage the other day. I decided to make kokeshi dolls out of them. Or, scroll dolls in this case. That was so much fun, I decided to buy a few more...

Altoids Tin Pop-UP
For some strange reason I had a strong need to create a chrysalis from polymer clay. I had no idea why or what I would do with it once I made it. How could I tell its story? I thought it would be fun,...

In the Garden
Today I’m feeling like I need an escape; a peaceful place to gather my thoughts and tune out the world. I have it in my mind to create such a place in my own back yard, but for now I’ll just have to...
