I’ve been away from this project for quite some time because of too much pain in the hands, arms and neck. There is still a lot to be done and I am so grateful for the help of good friends. I have yet to complete the wiring, but now that the new door is in [...]
I’ve been working too hard. My arms are no longer cooperating and I have had to slow down quite a bit, but I still see some progress and it is exciting to know I am almost done with the wiring work. I am installing 6 recessed lights and one track light fixture, you can see [...]

The rock work is done for now and I am deep into putting the electrical wiring in the new studio. I just wanted to share this pretty little stone mosaic my friend Eileen created for the new step to the patio. It’s so nice to have friends who like to make things. We both [...]
The sunken patio is almost completed. The walls are not as pretty as I would have liked, but they are very stable and perfect bench height for a table, which I love. I’m making all sorts of fun plans for the yard, but I need to get back to work on the studio. [...]

While I was the Bentonville Art Walk on Saturday, my friend who is a wonderful carpenter installed the first window in the garage. This window is over 6 feet long and allows in plenty of light. It faces the back of the property and I love looking out and seeing the trees and vines. [...]
Yesterday’s unveiling of the painted park benches was rained out, so we’re planning to have that event at 2pm Saturday before the Artrageous Parade rolls past Basin Park. Should it rain Saturday, we’ll do the unveiling and the Parade on Sunday. I really miss the sun, so I’m thinking sunny thoughts about how fabulous [...]
This footed gift box with matching felt-backed coasters comes with a coordinated gift bag. I made this for Delta using their fabulously shiny Paint Jewels and it was not picked up for their ads after all. Now, my older projects must go to make way for the new and you can have this set for [...]

I am excited that one day I will have a larger studio! I will be glad to be out of the house and away from the phone! I am going to convert the detached 12×20 garage which has almost been cleared out. Stuff is being stored under the house and a few items will [...]
