It seems that every big event in life sneaks up on us when we aren’t really watching. This year is going by fast but April 27 is our 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! It seems unreal to think that Dale and I have been married for 50 years! Almighty God has blessed us in so many ways. We have shared […]
When it comes to the phrase “everything old is new” jewelry making is at the top of the list. Shapes and colors don’t vary much across the world, but what is created from those elements leads to millions of new and exciting designs that can catch a persons eye, touch their heart, and speak out […]
🎉 Every new year is a time for people to evaluate what they did last year and what they want to do in the new year. Our business economic system is actually based on doing this. Its a time to take account of what happened and what is planned…on paper at least. Does it actually work? […]
Anyone who knows Irish history knows that it hasn’t always been lucky. Yet there is always a reason to celebrate! Being on an island hasn’t isolated them from the world’s woes.

Every time an idea blooms in my head it gets a chance to come into reality thru my sketchbook. Once I found the little Ivy printer by Cannon, I can take a picture of the ‘bones’ and print it on a 2″x3″ sticky back card that I can trim and attach to a page. It’s […]
Every time I sit down to work I seem to be shooting off in multiple directions! The result is what looks like chaos on my bench. However me it isn’t really chaos, but rather disorganized organization. When designing anything, especially clocks, there are multiple parts to put together. Each pattern has its own requirements for […]
Every body needs to have underwear. Something to support the fancy dressing. For me this can be the hardest part to work on. Unlike what people wear (or what we should wear) our underwear isn’t usually seen. But it maters. My clocks are different though. It matters what is underneath the frills. What color should […]
