Something New




I've done several designs over the past year that I'd like to expand on especially for weddings. Look for new "sets" of jewelry specifically for weddings that I'll be working on. I tend to follow my creative muse but will be doing more collections for the bride as well as the bridal party......here is just a sample......

Wow! Two weeks into a New Year....



...and I'm only posting now. Two weeks of taking it slow(er) - looking through new books, collecting inspiration, finishing the chocolate.....but seriously, it is time to get busy(er). Last weekend I put the decorations away (and I'm always a little reluctant to do so). The holidays go so fast and I enjoy everything about them. I didn't quite get all the baking out of my system (literally and figuratively) and baked these Hazelnut shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate with a cup of coffee to ease the transition.
They were delicious and I'll be adding these to my Christmas baking for next year...Anyone interested in the recipe and I'll gladly email it to you. Then I took pictures of the house and the way I decorated it this year so I can remember from year to year.
Something I had always forgotten to do in the past. Anyway, onward and upward. It is January now and more than a little grey outside but always colorful here in my studio.....
