I went to visit my momma this month. She’s been going through a rough time, and I just wanted to see her. She has such a beautiful smile. I’m so glad I took the time to see her. I also got to see my sister Sherry and Joanne as well […]
I’ve written about Margo’s Tea Shop (Festivitea) a couple times now, but I just can’t help it. Margo is such a wonderful Lady and FestiviTEA a fabulous shop. This post is about the Sugar Skull workshop I took with my bestie Lela, her mother-in-law, and her son. The instructor Amanda […]
I’ve been chronicling my exchange of fused glass for a custom quilt with my cousin. I received it a month or so ago, albeit I didn’t have any way to hang it. At the recommendation by my cousin, I bought custom wooden hangers for both top and bottom of my […]
I mentioned I took a new job in July and this month I took my first trip to Korea in years. It was a work trip, so I didn’t have a lot of time to sightsee, but I did get to shop a bit. Below are some pictures of my […]
A few years ago, we had a family reunion, and I was able to meet my cousins that I’ve either never met or haven’t seen in 50 years. Over the last few years, we’ve gotten to know each other even more, and it’s been a wonderful experience. Recently one of […]
We went to Westcliffe several times this month, and I wanted to post a few pictures of some of our activities. First, I have to show you our beautiful sunrise and of course our hummingbirds. They are so much fun to watch. It’s been a bit chilly and raining so […]
In April’s DYK I wrote about my love for the special women in my life. For Mother Day I made presents for my Mom and Mother-in-law. Here is the present I made for my mom. It’s a Fused Glass flower vase and to make it really special I added a […]
Last year I made presents for my grandniece Ryan. I screen-printed bibs and a glass sconce. My niece, Kaci, just had a beautiful little girl – Emeri. She’s such a cutie so I made her some bibs too. It’s a different type of bib, much easier to screen-print on. I […]
*I screwed up – sometimes when I have a similar post I duplicate it and use it as a base. I wrote a post about the beauty of Westcliffe but instead of duplicating it I “updated it”. Which means this post overwrote by beauty of Westcliffe from April. So, it […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving because it’s focused on family. We always go visit Dan’s family in Delta Colorado. Even though Sky wasn’t with us we did have an addition to the family, Ryan. Isn’t she adorable? We had a fabulous time, I love spending […]
My nephew, Rocky, just retired from the Air Force. He served 22 years just as I did. I’m so proud of him and I wanted to create something to commemorate his retirement. I created custom screen prints and then created this beautiful iridized white sconce. It’s kind of perfect timing […]
In 2019 before covid we had a fabulous family reunion. My mom is in a nursing facility, so we try to have them every two years at most. Here are some of my pictures. The far right are my brothers and sisters with my momma (7 out of 10 isn’t […]
I love flowers and one of my favorite things about Westcliffe and Colorado as a whole is the wildflowers. We went to Westcliffe last month and even though it’s toward the end of summer the flowers are still around, especially amazing sunflowers. Here are some pictures of one of my […]
It’s that time again, I so love the wildflowers of Colorado. The interesting thing about Westcliffe is that every time we go there are different flowers, and I love them all. I also have to take several pictures of each flower. This first group of flowers are from the side […]
