Christmas came and went!

After a "peak" of visitors on my website the run for Christmas could begin, we successfully executed all requests and orders well in time.
So Thankful for all the help from my co workers!
My family enjoyed the preparations for Christmas with me having 16 hour working days and Welcomed me back 2 days before Christmas "puh" As FUN as it is being busy..... I am in a way glad that Christmas orders only occur once a year!
Santa Claus was smart planning his event ;-)

Long time but it is time...

It has been forever since I placed some words on the blog, lot of things going on at the same time so it is time for me to tell.... so this cat in the hat is having the opportunity to be featured with her work on TV.

NBC and The Today Show is including my work with children's drawings in to their list of gift idea's for Christmas on Dec. 2

I am going a tiny stir crazy but in all the excitement we did manage to to find and hang up a new lamp after almost 3 years in our house..... and my daughter is quick to find a equal design of her own!

My studio is growing with more bench space to Welcome a new co worker in time for Santa.

NEW things with Having a new addition in our family 9week old Laila!

It has been a week since my PC broke down and I am about to get all my files back thanks to wonderful friends with computer knowledge, YEAH

I had the honor of remaking a friends engagement ring, first I made a model in silver with a blue topaz for her to see and try on........ she liked it so I made it with her emerald cut diamond in 14k white gold! Turned out "super fabulous"

New item to children's drawings.....

A friend contributed with this dragon drawing to create a book mark in silver, an idea that will come in handy when it is time to find our grandparents a gift for the Holidays
