I recently shipped off another commission. A customer I met at the Girls’ Night Out pop-up was torn between the design of Beacon Triangle and the message of Know Thyself. I hand-stamped the message, including a blooper: Upon clarifying the favorite colors of her recipient, I set about combining the elements she liked. Here are […]
“When I am focused on what I am for, rather than what I am against, I am empowered.†~ Dr. Wayne Dyer, Real Magic Since Magic is my word of the year, I picked up Real Magic by Dr. Wayne Dyer from the library and have been reading through it the past few months. Basically […]
I am processing many thoughts of the Right-Brainers in Business Video Summit, which held Webinars every day for the past two weeks. Kari Chapin was one of the interviewees, and I am going through her book as well. It’s exciting to think of all the possibilities, to know that there are numerous energetic communities and […]
I made another trip to Geneva this week to pick up my dragonflies. They are in online exhibits right now but I hope that they will hang in some local exhibits this spring as well, so in anticipation of a ‘yes’, I need to have them close to me. I picked Wednesday to combine it […]
I intended to have a lovely post written up but instead am immersed in paperwork (why does that always take longer than we think?). So here are some snow pictures from yesterday. We may be ready for Spring but nature is not. As the Dutch saying goes: “Maart Roert z’n Staart” I hope this is […]

I’ve been creating new pieces that aren’t up on Etsy, because as of today they are available for sale in a boutique. Yesterday I drove into Lemont, Illinois for the first time, which was a revelation. Just a short ride off I-55, entering via exit 271 offers a lovely view of a hillside town with many […]
“I am proud of all women, whether at the level of Oprah or local entrepreneurs.†~ Dori Wilson Last Tuesday the Women’s Innovation Network held its second annual Black History Month Innovation Panel. Moderated by LeeAnn Trotter, the panelists included artist Makeba Kedem-Dubose, author Dawgelene Sangster, and PR Entrepreneur Dori Wilson. Attending a panel by African-American women […]
The FUSEDChicago members recently gathered for a meeting. First we conducted some organizational business, but then we got to the fun part of socializing, noshing on goodies, and watching demos. Jenny Learner set a panel on fire by torching shellac on a panel-in-progress. It had a few layers of wax on it already, and this seals the design below […]
“Hey, maybe this is the start of a trend. Maybe this is a whole new trend for old Charlie Brown. Maybe this is the start of something big! Maybe next year I’ll get a whole bunch of valentines!†~ Charlie Brown Did you have a loving Valentine’s Day? I watched Charlie Brown’s Valentine for the […]
