In the meantime we wish everyone a safe weekend and wish to take this opportunity to invite anyone choosing to remember those who serve and have served our nation by joining in the moment of silence at 3 p.m. your local time on Monday. Without them, where would we be?

Technical difficulties
We are currently dealing with sporadic connectivity issues with our internet provider as well as technical difficulties with Yahoo in updating the website. We apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing and hope it will be corrected next week so we can start sharing some of the new designs.

The work continues
This week we are getting the new roof. All the rain finally gave us a break and the fellows have plans to move everything back into the studio this weekend. Meanwhile the photography is complete except for one piece that I am still not happy with. But I have begun the cataloging and then will start updating the website so new things will be available soon. There is quite a variety so keep checking back. And just a side note - some of these pieces are one of a kind so you won't want to miss out!

Progress so far
Last week everything was removed from the Studio and the flooring was delivered and set out to acclimate.
This week the floor was prepped and work began. Unfortunately two bundles were damaged and had to be reordered so we aren't sure just how much of a delay that will cause but it is looking so nice! In the meantime I am almost finished with the last batch of new jewelry designs so we can start photographing. It is all so exciting!

Renovation
This next week we are starting some minor renovations in the studio that have been planned for some time. This could cause some minor delays in shipping but you will be notified if it does. It also means no special orders can be done at this time. We will be concentrating instead on photographing the new pieces that I have in the works. And we have some ideas for renovating the website as well. Must be spring fever! So check back in a week or two. I hope you will like what you find.

Stash
I like rocks. It probably goes back to going rock hounding with my folks. Dad cut and polished stones. Boy I wish he were still alive. We could really collaborate on some jewelry. But the next best thing is going to the gem and mineral shows and spending time with folks of like mind. I always come home with so many cabochons. And my sketchbooks are littered with ideas so I decided to spend some time in this area for awhile. Oh what fun. I have quite a stash of stones collected so sometimes I design around a stone and sometimes I select a stone for a particular design. I just love having options!
The layout and planning is more time consuming with these pieces but the results are worth it. I can't wait to get some photos done and share.

ahhhhhh
Everything is completed. The surgeries are completed. The repairs are completed. The insurance is completed (well almost). The family moving out is completed. And putting my house and studio back in order is completed. That means that I am happily back at work in the studio. I am so excited and have so many things in mind to make. But patience please as it takes me as long to get things photographed as it does to make the pieces. But it is so exciting to return to my studio! And with the surgeries completed I am regaining my energy and strength as well so - hi ho, hi ho - it's off to work I go!
