Creating the projects and writing this book was such a pleasure. It gave me the best reason to lose myself in “my work.” It also allowed me the freedom to create projects and designs that spoke to me, with the hope they speak to you, too.
The projects were outlined as a place to start and then progress in complexity to provide challenges while supporting you for success. The finished pieces are designed to entice and empower you whether metal clay is new to you, if you have tried the material but didn’t find the success you were hoping for, or to call you back to metal clay if you tried it and moved on to other things.
Sessions filled with great ideas, inspirational stories, everyday little joys, and life's big dreams. Each week, my guests and I discuss topics such as creating, the maker's life, business challenges and successes!

Happy National #boxerday - I missed it by one day but any excuse to share my puppy. 🐾🐾💙
My @remington_remy_rem_boxer is 6 but still a puppy at heart. He’s a playful 75lb lap dog and we are so thankful to have him in our lives (since he’s 5 weeks old). 💙🐾🐾
Boxers are a special breed - full of love, loyalty, energy, mischief, energy, slobber, heart, energy.

What’s for dinner? And what to have on a cold winter day?
Soup is the perfect option.
French onion soup is not hard to make or too time consuming. It also only takes a few ingredients. This is a quick overview start to finish (well, no picture of the empty bowl)
(I couldn’t believe there were songs about French onion soup!)

Still celebrating? We have party plans so here’s to 2025 and more cookies! 🥂
I followed a course by the @thegracefulbaker when creating my Christmas cookies. I took her recipes for another spin with a new set of cookie cutters from @annclarkcookiecutters. Some (darker than I meant to do) colors and some free wheeling designs, these cookies are ready!
Always room for one more!

Happy New Year! A quick overview of a fused glass project anyone could do - with a kiln (even a microwave kiln) and a few materials.
I love glass. It calls to me. I had a vision for a gift idea and was thankful to have some time to play and test and try it out. In the end I made 12. All different but created similarly.
On to other shapes and other ideas…did you watch to the end to see what’s up next?
