For the first time in a while I felt a bit excited about something I was going to list on Etsy…and Etsy has been down for the last five hours. I can’t get it to load at ALL, let alone log on. So I’m going to have to forgo listing today unless it comes back […]
I can’t believe I covet my own earrings. But I DO…and here’s why. By rights, I am supposed to SELL these earrings. But I really want to keep them! They just look magical, to me, so…crystal-frosty and silvery. So…I should just make my own pair, right? Weellll…
Depending on how well […]
Tinies isn’t a word, is it? Tinys? No.
Well, whatever the words are, I’ve been on a ‘teeny’ kick lately, wanting to make just tiny, dainty things. Look at the earrings I just made this morning…they aren’t bigger than about half an inch in any direction as far as the cluster itself goes.
I think they’re cute, […]

Has anyone else noticed how insanely popular trees have become in the past few years?
I’ve always been a tree fanatic. My parents own a greenhouse business and I was always more interested in everything outside the greenhouse (trees, shrubs, perennials) than in anything inside (houseplants and annuals). My dad always has an interested person to […]
The site wasn’t loading on February 1 after I made my post, so I left off updating yesterday so people would have a chance to see the post made that day before it was buried by a new one. Not sure WHY the site wasn’t loading…there must have been some kind of maintenance or problem […]
Remember the cloisonne hummingbirds I showed before? I’ve made a charm-style dangle stick with them. They were VERY difficult to photograph, as you cannot set them down to do so, and the colours are so exotic that exact accuracy is needed…and can’t quite be achieved. I did the best I could, but it is MUCH […]
The problem with taking pictures in natural light is that the quality of it varies every day. So please forgive me for the two poor photos to come…it’s snowing today and I’m just not getting enough light for proper colour and focus. But I have a custom order to fill, so I need to post […]
I think I’m starting to get into the groove with TFG…I’m not nearly as stressed now. I have 5 pairs of Curly-Qs on the go…medium blue, dark blue, silver, burgundy and medium pink. Deciding what beads should go with them will be fun…the colours are so rich!
Next I’m going to make a special […]
Found a little box of cloisonne bells yesterday and realized that I also have a box of six beautiful cloisonne hummingbirds…big ones…that really want using in some spectacular hairstick or other. Using the bells was more difficult than I anticipated…next time I think I will just hang the bell with one bead as a very […]
