Why I Spend So Much Time Outside

This is the most beautiful time of year and I love be outside. Now that does make it hard to keep up with the glass and such, but this is the time when my soul is recharging from the long cold winters.

My house is on the other side of the studio.


Oh, and these are the colors I finally chose for the studio paint.



With the new Fusion Studios and the chance to lock in the $12.00 a month for life, there are good reasons to check out Artfire. I won't tell you it's perfect, but I can tell you that they are working hard to create a place to call home for us artists as well as an exciting shopping experience for our customers. I've been seeing exciting things happening with the Fusion Studios. From live streaming to widgets to Etsy minis to Facebook, the studios are becoming so unique. Go visit a few random shops, or if you've worked on your shop let me know in the comments so I can go see what you've done...

Spring is Finally Here...maybe

I've been seeing a few tulips blooming here and there, but still no lilacs or iris yet. But of course, the dandelions are out in full force.


Yep, I still have more mowing to do, but I have to go fill gas cans and I'm waiting to see if I can get Jeff to do it for me.
After the long winter, I am having a hard time convincing myself that I should be in the studio. I'm thinking I might have to put aside the glass for awhile and do some other projects that I can take out and work on in the sunshine.

But...here's a few things.

and the cuff I finally finished.
