New Designs, This Month's Shows

Wow, look...another month in between posts!  Good grief!  There was a time when I posted several times per week!  Now it seems that all I post about is jewelry and shows!  Well, this post will be no different!  Here is the scoop!

TV Stars!

Chris and I spent time near Kearney yesterday at the NTV Studio!  We were interviewed on Good Life (the morning show).  We showed our newest creations and talked about our design process working together. Here is the link to watch the show!

On the Horizon

No, I haven't vanished from the face of the Earth. Just incredibly busy!

Last week was busy with finishing assembling 100 memorial pendants for the Blue Hill Families memorial fundraiser.

Wow!  Can you believe we sold all but 4 of them!  I plan to make 20 more for the Blue Hill Craft show in December.  A tremendous amount of work for a very special cause.

This week I am working to finish up some new holiday designs for a Holiday Open House we are hosting with Frank & Deb Brooks at their studio in the Old Middle School in Hastings this Saturday.

This the first Open House we have done without the show being a "craft or art show".  We have worked with Frank & Deb a great deal this year and we all decided it would be a great way to start the holiday shopping and spotlight both of our design lines and bring in some other handmade items & crafters as well.  We will have beautiful floral arrangements, handmade baked goods & jellies, plus lots of other great items!  Other studios in the Old Middle School will also be open for business!  The Open House runs 9-4 and we are serving yummy snacks and spiced cider (tea & coffee too!).  Hope to see you there!
