Well after switching my blog over to wordpress and back again I hopefully will have a new look come January 2nd to kick off a new year! I've added a gallery of some of the things I've been working on this past fall. A new NEWS section will be added as well.

Time For A Change

What do you do when a company you've come to count on for your business can't meet your demand?? I've been working with a metal company for the past year and they have been wonderful. But the past month I have had more of a demand, and they aren't able to meet my needs. I have decided to move to a different company, sadly, I feel like I have to move away from an old friend. I came to depend on this company, and could expect quality for the items I purchased. It just makes me sad that I won't be doing business with them anymore. However, at the same time, it is exciting to see my little company begin to grow.

Ribbons For October

I created this piece in honor of my mother. She fought breast cancer for 8 years. She taught elementary children for over 30 years. Most of which was spend teaching kindergarten. She has left behind a legacy for her students and her own children, and grandchildren. She will always be my hero, my best friend.
