Y'all picking a word for the year? I always love to do this.
What is your theme/word for 2024?

I picked mine last year, after breaking my foot when I got in a fight with my 50 lb horn anvil. I thought a lot about it sitting on my butt for 8 weeks, and then struggled to get back up and going- so mine is stability.
I've been working really hard to get it already. Just going to continue that work this year. My whole year will be about even numbers too because they represent stability and structure.

The 1millionth bezel. I wonder how many I’ve actually made in my life time.

Ring? Or earrings?

This little beauty fell in my lap while I working outside today. It’s from my magnolia tree. I had no idea the pink anther was so vibrant. The magnolias are getting ready to bloom and go bonkers.

It’s time to say goodbye.
I may be delirious... because I am fasting for my test tomorrow. But I have news!

If you ever ever wanted my unicorn necklace, I made a decision to STOP MAKING it. But you still have a chance to get it!
It is seriously marked down on my site. And that is for a very limited time. So don't wait.

Sometimes I get tired of making things and decide to retire the design. Most of the time I don't let people know. I just take it off everywhere and you don't even notice. But I giving you fair warning.

The first 2 people to raise their hands will get a better deal.

Work from 12 years ago.
My skin looks about 12 because the photo was so heavily edited… but anyway I loved these earrings. They seem very very different from how my work looks now.

What’s on my bench:
Rose cut chrysoprase earrings.
So pretty.

Ahhh look at my sweet baby niece. I so happy to meet her and hold her for the first time. Can’t wait until I get to again tomorrow.
