New Fabric Flower Brooches

These are three of my new fabric flower brooches. I used a combination of lace, satin and cotton fabric. When used as home decor, such as on a lampshade, they add a warm, unique touch.





Remember Westby? She is our 6 month old puppy. We've had her for a few months and her and Beauie, our 3 year old cat, are getting along very well!

Panini Idea

Tonight I made a delicious grilled eggplant and roasted fennel panini. I suggest it to everyone!

Woodfiring at Wheaton

WheatonArts is so many things to me. it is my place for employment, inspiration, my studio space for ceramics and a place to spend time with friends. Today was my birthday and I went to WheatonArts to participate in their woodfiring.

This woodfiring was the last class of a series of ceramic classes. The participants of this class spent two classes, taught by Terry Plasket, learning how to make pots for the wood kiln. Terry is a mentor and a dear friend of mine. I began studying under Terry when I was finishing my undergraduate degree at Rowan University. Experience is really the best way to learn and he offered me a concentrated time for hands-on experience that a formal education couldn't.

WheatonArts offers a variety of classes (glassblowing, ceramics, woodcarving, silk painting, knitting, etc.) Check out their website to learn more about WheatonArts' classes

Our Puppy/Dog

She is getting bigger by the day! My husband took this photo at the state park where we take walks.

Etsy Progress
I am revisiting my project to get an Etsy page up and running for The Little Teapot. I have a small inventory of items that I hope to be selling in time for the Holidays. These include scarves, flower broaches and prints. Stay tuned!
