Over the Memorial Day weekend, I had my family over for a BBQ. All my aunts and uncles were able to see my shop and jewelry for the first time. We are all pretty creative people, so we were able to throw around some great ideas as far as jewelry design, shop setup and marketing, which is always fun to do. My mom saw a quote I had up in my bedroom, which was "MADNESS IS GENIUS." That is where she said, you should...
Texture
I love texture and it being one of the elements of art, it is kind of a big deal It is my favorite to explore and seek out inspiration for my next project.
Inspiration can be found anywhere and visual, as well as physical, textures are always so appealing to the eye as well as your touch. I like things you can pick up, feel and get a closer look at. That is one thing I enjoy most about jewelry. It is a piece of...
Race season has begun!
As some of you know, I paddle outrigger canoe year round. This is my 11th season paddling 6 man and it is still just as fun as ever! I started paddling as a sophomore in high school on the NAC Jr. team, quit soccer and never looked back! I now paddle for the NAC women's team and it is still a total blast! There may be no boys at practice, or no one coaching me like my high school coach did, but now I have a tight...
Happy 200,000 miles!
So my Toyota 4Runner ran over 200,000 miles last week.
She is a '96 and in great condition, we take her everywhere and she has been so good to us so far.
Jimi told me about a commercial Toyota used to do and I think they should bring it back, because I think it is perfectly befitting of a Toyota. He said the commercial consisted of the mileage reader going over 100,000 miles, and the driver getting so excited they...

Plus, a little sneak peak on some new packaging and postcards that I just got in, along with my new business cards! I am also really excited to start using these!
Enjoy!

Joshua Tree
We went back country camping in Joshua Tree National Park over the weekend. This was my first time to Joshua Tree and it was an awesome trip. We drove on one of the 4 wheel drive roads for about 30 minutes to come to the Pleasant Valley registration board. We parked my car here, put on our packs and set off for an overnight camp in Pleasant Valley. We stuck to the bottom of the Hexie Mountains to keep track of our...
Shop Progress
I am going to have my whole jewelry shop set up in my garage by this weekend, sans anvil and metal shear, but I have to say that is pretty close to done. There is always room for improvement and those are at the top of the list.
I am so excited to be able to go out to my garage and just make stuff whenever I want! I will post pictures soon once it is all set up! I am also in the process of picking the name for my design company...
