There is nothing like spring weather to inspire you to get out in nature, put out the patio furniture, plant a garden and make something beautiful….

Adjust, Flow and Grow
I am so excited about new things happening this year. I’m still adjusting to how business practices are changing….many are shopping on line. My beloved Stein Mart is no more. Gosh, I just loved that store. Such cute things for ladies my age. But Alas… no more. I am old school. I like to shop in person, I like to talk on the phone. I prefer meeting in person. With the exception of a doctor appt. I love video chat for dr. appointments. But I’m not crazy about zoom. I’m still making art the way I have always been making…
Rainyness
Today was an amazing day, weather wise. We wont talk about the “plandemic” news. But it was a moist day with sporadic soft rain here and there. The smell of the desert was nurturing. The cloud covering set a mood. My plants loved it. And I could have stayed in my garden all day but alas…. This week I am getting ready for the Tucson Museum of Art Spring Artisan Market. Starts the Friday the 13th, ends Sunday the 15th. 10-5 each day. It’s on the street folks. Open air festival. No need to worry. I have hand sanitizer….
Arroyo Garden Murals
Last week was the completion of the tiled murals I was hired to make and install. This is my first commercial job and it actually went pretty smoothly. No different than installing for homes. Well… maybe a little different. It’s a mans world in a construction zone. Being one of the 3 women…everyone was very respectful and helpful. As promised, I told you I would post pics of the project. I didn’t have a Go-Pro. I wish I could’ve had one but maybe the next project, which is coming up this summer. I decided to have professional pictures done of…
New Work in the Old Pueblo
So it’s February. January flew by. I feel I was only present for half of January because what ever was going around…..you name it, I caught it! I am glad to see January ’16 leave. And good riddance. Meanwhile, I have been busy with new designs for an up coming tile mosaic job I have been hired to create. It’s always exciting to have a new challenge, a reprieve from the daily bread and butter. I will give you a sneak preview…..based on the mural I designed and created for a Rocky Point, Mexico sea side residence over the summer/ 2015. I…
June is Wedding Month. Give something unique.
June is the month for weddings. Do you know anyone who is getting married this summer? I do. My nephew is getting married. I am excited for him and his future wife. His mom and dad are so proud. And I know what I am going to give them. One of my botanical pottery pieces. I have recently designed some fun, whimsical serving dishes, spoon rests, dipping bowls, candle holders, change catchers. I also have keepsakes for weddings and anniversaries. It’s a tradition to give a pomegranate to a Jewish wedding couple. Why…
