UPDATES!

The Store, New Project, and Upcoming Adventure March 28, 2026 Lately, I’ve been deep in research mode, figuring out the best home for my shop. After a lot of back and forth, I’ve decided to move over to Big Cartel. It keeps things simple and affordable, which matters a lot for a small handmade b...

I incurred an arm injury at my job. It was my own stupidity and had nothing to do with the hospital. I was pulling a very heavy drawer open with one hand from our automatic dispensing cabinet and just like that...I overstratched and sprained my arm.
I swear I am accident prone. LOL Anyway, I am back and here are my latest creations...

Meet some of my dragonflies! I have made 9 of them thus far. I have 2 spiders in the works and another tree

These 3 little sweetie pies are ready for their new homes. They are all listed in the store. I have a blue one in progress, and once my hand is completely healed I'll be able to finish that one.
I also have a "special" tree I am drawing out so we shall see when I have time to start that.

injury update: My palm is healing nicely. I have removed the pressure bandage and am now wearing a small yet thick bandage with tape wrapped around my hand. My chin bruising is almost gone. It was situated on the underside of my chin so I didn't have to answer questions every day about it because it was hidden so well.

Grand Canyon: I scored an overnight stay at one of the campgrounds at the bottom of the Grand Canyon in April. I decided the trek I wanted to do would be well suited for me with an overnight stay to rest and recharge before the brutal climb up the Bright Angel trail. Details to come in an upcoming post.

In the meantime, come on by and visit my shop! The entire store is having a Chrsitmas sale and there are still some small 3inch trees on closeout for an addition 8$ off.
