Another Weekend.

Well I will be in "WORRY" mode all weekend. My daughter is going on her first road trip with friends to Spokane...there are a whole bunch of them...she is really excited, I am really panicked...so hard to let go.

I have been busy trying to build up some new inventory for my website which should be up and running in the next month or so. I am also going to start selling on eBay again this September so I am making big sets for there.

My moms pond in her ruins is pretty much done...so enjoy the updated pictures.

Summer Solstice EGA sale

Thanks to Sandra for the feature

Well I was thrilled to be featured by a wonderfully talented jewelry designer who I have enjoyed getting to know over the past couple of months...she is a true pleasure to chat to. So thanks so much Sandra for the work you put into the feature and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.MY FIRST FEATURE


Spent a couple of hours at MEEKER DAYS yesterday...gave out some business cards for my EGA street team and my etsy and told everyone how great etsy is...still amazes me when you go out in public how few people know of it...since it is my life and I feel like I have been there forever...LOL

My moms pond is coming along with the help of a local called Kevin...it is going to looks so great.







Have a great day.

My moms obsession

I am from Kamloops, B.C, Canada and my mom and dad had a fabulous house on the river with a pool etc...my mom is one of the most amazing gardeners I have ever seen and had a yard there that people would ask if they could come and look around..so they sold that house a year or so ago and moved to "THE ROCK"...not that one...but GABRIOLA ISLAND...now I still have not seen the house or yard...but 7 months ago all there was, was lot of rock, weeds etc and a small patch of garden around the house...THIS IS WHAT MY MOM has made, with the help of the "ROCK GUY" to move and assemble all these monster rocks in her chosen design, it is not finished but it is so gorgeous...I can't wait to get up there and check it out for real!!! Anyway hope you are all having a great day and drop me a comment if you have time

Inspirations from San Francisco

Hi there, yesterday I really was not into making beads so I thought I would have a PLAY day at the torch which I do so rarely, I was trying to create some sealife type beads. I had lots of fun with them and have listed them on etsy today, one I was especially pleased with has nothing to do with sealife but it turned out to be a Native American inspired bear claw bead. Dance recital weekend for my daughter..rehearsal today, and show tomorrow night and then twice more next weekend and we are done dance for the year. Another glorious day in Puyallup with the highs expected around the high 80's again...glad we put the air conditioning in a couple of years ago. Thats all for now and have a great day.

HOME FROM SAN FRANCISCO

So my first visit to SF was fairly successful, but cold...even when the sun was shining that wind is wicked. We got to tour wine country (on our own in a really sporty mitsubishi eclipse) and did the cable cars, fishermans wharf, haight ashbury and stopped in at Golden Gate park. I loved HAIGHT ASHBURY...what a cool place that was...I always knew I should have been an adult during the hippy revolution. Such wonderful colors...we did have a bit of a problem with my teenage daughter while we were away but that story is for another day.

Here are a few pics of my trip and I am hoping the weather in Seattle will cool down a bit soon so I can get back into the studio in comfort.

Amy Keith Collage

So I am having a NON-CREATIVE couple of days....it drives me nuts when I go into these funks...but I am hoping the weekend in San Francisco will get my creative juices flowing again. In the meantime, check out this fabulous collage that AMY KEITH made with a piece from each of the ETSY GLASS ARTISTS members...I want this big enough for my wall..how cool would that be. You can check out her blog by using my ETSY GLASS ARTISTS ring surf or clicking on it in my FAVORITE BLOGS section.

So have a great day, I am listing again on etsy tomorrow and then off for 5 days YAHHHH.
