Monday was a gorgeous day in Geneva. Although the day started out with rain, the drive was dry and sunny, and the gusty winds near the lake became a gentle breeze further inland. I took a lovely stroll around downtown Geneva upon my arrival and admired the various homes in the neighborhood. Soon it was […]

Tonight I get to nosh on delicious The Sugar Path Cupcakes again. Meanwhile the last few days were spent preparing cords to go with the pendants. I’m also toying around with various display ideas for the summer fair. It’s fun to think about branding. Tonight’s setup will be like last time, though. Oh, and the […]

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 […]
This Saturday, the School for Little Children is hosting a fundraiser. I was invited to submit a silent auction item, so I decided to make a little angel. It was fun to dress her up. She is a pin, to serve as a guardian angel on a lapel or maybe a backpack. I made other […]
Last week I attended The Sugar Path’s first Girls’ Night Out pop-up event, which was a lovely gathering of women. Owner Michelle Adams kindly invited me to bring my Maraviglia wax and wire pendants. The Sugar Path was founded in 2011, when three sisters decided to pursue a love of baking. Michelle researched the food […]
I had more inspiration under the brightness of the chilly sun on Friday and created another Princess Scientist inspired batch. Who can resist such a sunny table? Princess Chocolatier emerged from reviewing the molecular structure of Theobromine. I attempted to emulate the loopy notches of a microchip for the Princess Programmer pendant, and was surprised to […]
