These last few months have been pretty crazy,but it's been a fun kind of crazy...

Last Saturday I taught my first live local class and it was great.I was so thankful to all the sweet ladies that drove such a long way to take the class.

I also finally managed to finish up a ring using all the techniques I learned in Richard and Jessica's class at Art is You...

Plus I finished the piece I made,inspired by Michael Demeng's class I also took...

and in between I've even had time to play around with the jewelers saw, my new favorite tool,making this,making that...

We also had some birthday fun with both my kids celebrating their special days...
