Sleepwalking in Style

Tuesday Pounce! I’ve published an Etsy treasury titled Adventuring; check it out!

Oh, and how awesome is this:

Kitchenaid Charm

…it’s like it was made for me!

Swanstrom Disc Cutter + Cookies!

This is an unapologetic plug for a fancy toy that I need. Sure, I could get by for a year or so with a less expensive version, but I do need a disc cutter, and the less expensive ones have a few design/usability flaws that Swanstrom has worked out. It would last me forever! {They [...]

igigi & Design Theory

igigi: Everything I need, I could find here.

Have you heard of the igigi general store? It hurts my feelings that it’s in Sussex. As in England, at least a nine hour flight and big money from here…but still tempting.

As I wander around their site, I’m already designing our new rustic house in a big sunny [...]

Alice Necklace

New pieces up on Etsy! I finished my Alice in Wonderland necklace this weekend, and it’s gorgeous…I wish I could keep it for myself; I’ll have to make more! I used another rutilated/tourmalinated quartz drop, and finished it with a stack of four ruby briolettes. I love the color in these: it’s the [...]

Blueberry Lemonade Necklace; Thoughts on Value

Blueberry Lemonade Necklace. Silk.

I’m reading the discussion of perceived value on LinkdIn, which starts with a quote from Japanese Economist Noriko Hama:

“When you buy something cheap, you lower the value of your own life.”

…I buy that. {Seriously} It’s especially in my thoughts these days, since I’m now selling my work, because while I want [...]

I'm an Etsy Seller! {Woo!}

Sterling & Rutilated Quartz

My first piece is up on Etsy; it can be found here! {Now if only I could get my heart out my throat, and get my breathing back to normal without the aid of a paper bag.}

Momo Drop II

Momo Drop III

Momo Drop IV

Momo Drop V

Tell the world, [...]

Dandelion Girl

Dandelion Girl

It seemed appropriate that I was in the middle of a sneezing fit {not as cute as it sounds} when I stumbled across this pic on Etsy today. Allergies, which I never had growing up, are upon me in spades this Summer, and I am so over it. Sneezing yourself awake is right [...]

A Few of My Favorite Things: Ocean Jasper

A close up of a bench pin….

“Oh Tigger, where are your manners?”
I don’t know, but I bet they’re having more fun than I am.”
— A.A. Milne

The Intergem gem show came to Seattle a while back; and I picked up a few gems…literally! I thought I’d share some pictures of my new raw materials. I [...]

L Frank

I need this…

You know what’s missing from my life? L Frank. I lust after these rings, have lusted after these rings, & ♥ them, will always love them. To me, they are the perfect jewelry; above all else they are organic, rough in a way that can only be intentional, with perfect earth tones. I [...]

Star Kitty

Star Kitty Necklace

Monday Pounce! Star Kitty will brighten your day.

I’m prepping things for the morning; a couple of soon-expiring ingredients have determined that I will bake tomorrow – and while I was digging around Smitten Kitchen, I stumbled across a post that ended with the words “Blueberry Boy Bait”. …Say what?

Apparently people make this [...]
