Celebrating Beatrix Potter


Kim created Winter White Christmas Wreaths,
Name Pieces and Magical Tinsel Trees for each guest, every table.
Beautiful and Sweet Andrea & Earleen.

I created Glass Glitter Cones for every girls kit.

My Original Beatrix Potter Chandelier



I spent last saturday at
beautiful home in Los Angeles, Ca.
with 17 of the most kind, gracious and appreciative women.
I offered my workshop where
we created a chandelier celebrating
the life, art and talent of
Beatrix Potter.
Each girl made the piece their own, adding touches of vintage jewelry,
ribbon, lace and bling!
I was overwhelmed with the creative talent in one room!
Each was beautiful and sparkling with love.
LOVE.
Thank you Kim for opening up your home to me and your beautiful friends.

A pot of hot coffee......

















In a 14.5 hr day overwhelmed by severe weather, bumper to bumper Los Angeles traffic, and extreme lack of sleep....
I found 1.5 hrs of refuge in a charming cottage in Santa Ana, Ca.
My sweet friend
opened her door, gave me a warm hug, then put on a pot of hot welcoming coffee....ahhhh.....
LOVE.
First off.....
Jenny adds the necessary element of
"CUTE"
to every piece of my linen clothing that she purchases in support of me.
Thank you.
We sat and discussed art, art and more art :-)
There is a combined effort on our part to bring some creative girls a day filled with art, friendship and love.
Stay tuned.
Jenny has the most inviting and beautiful work studio!
I got lost in a Happy Place filled with creative energy from so many amazing artists, so lovingly placed throughout this space.
Thank you for supporting me, my art and my need for a strong cup of coffee dear Jenny.
I am grateful.

Christmas........ahhhhhhh






Christmas
is just around the corner, so I've been busy, filling online clothing orders
and spending some of my late evenings creating jewelry pieces
as a getaway from the humdrum of the sewing machine.
Happy Holidays my friends!
I am grateful.

Forever Young.....


So sorry that I haven't posted in a while as I have been so busy sewing orders.
Thought I'd post a pic of what I did with a precious antique German doll that I
picked up at the Long Beach Flea Market a couple of months back.
I am so very grateful to Miss Terri Brush for teaching me the art of soldering :-)
If it weren't for her, I would never have been able to create this sweet shadow box and
cake plate.
Terri Brush will be back in San Diego teaching for three days!
You may still be able to sign up
