Look what’s new on the bookshelf! The April issue of Bead Trends is out and I’m so proud to be a contributor this month. It seems like ages ago that I created Joie de Vivre, a pendant featuring a polymer clay focal and a whole lot of steel wire. The reason I’m particulary excited about this piece? The polymer clay focal is by none other than my friend Christine Damm of Stories they Tell. It is so fulfilling to collaborate with a friend.
Speaking of friends, if you pick up this issue you’ll be happy to find many recognizable names. One special friend who has a couple beautiful pieces in this issue is Sharon of Livewire Jewelry – congrats to all of you!
While out shopping today in my local Barnes and Nobles (had to pick up one more goodie for my husband’s birthday tomorrow!), I was THRILLED to see the brand new publication, Jewelry Affaire sitting right there on the shelf! This long-awaited premiere issue is jam-packed with beautiful designs and I’m enjoying perusing it page by page. I was excited to see articles by my friends Valerie Rosenthal Hebert and Diane Cook – as well as many designers whose work I can’t wait to discover. The photography is excellent…just what we’ve come to expect from the many inspiring Stampington publications!

Hello friends
I’m so happy it’s the weekend! This is the start of Spring Break for my oldest son, but the other two are on break the following week. Who said life would be synchronized? I’m finding that out more than ever now that lacrosse season is in full swing and I need to be in 3 places at once!
Just thought I’d share a few snapshots from my day –
- Kindergarten science fair project – will it sink or float?
- Enjoying the birds who stop by the birdfeeders….mourning doves are our most frequent customers (and even the squirrels have found a way to hang on to this feeder!)
- Visited with Lori Anderson who was in the area for the Craftmen’s Classic. (pssst….stop by and wish her a Happy Birthday on Monday!)
Hope you have a FANTASTIC weekend & thanks for stopping by!
