Valentines at the Pop Up Gallery

I was feeling the love vibe earlier this month and made some valentine hearts, along with other springy pieces. I decided to deliver these to the Evanston Pop Up gallery and refreshed my shelf. It was fun to determine a new configuration and see where it leads. Some items have been sitting for a while, […]

Valentine’s Week

Last week’s excuse to celebrate love was fun. I made some loving food in heart-shaped muffin forms. My Valentine came from Stumble & Relish, along with a delicious bath bomb. A friend and I strolled along Dempster where I picked up new treasures from Crowded Closet and Secret Treasures. The top will serve well for […]

Valentine Hearts Angel

Will this angel be your Valentine? I had some tissue paper with the sweet read hearts in my stash so I wire-wrapped an angel with a spiraled heart. Then I dipped the tissue paper in a beeswax and resin mixture and adhered it to the steel wire. This angel comes with a red satin ribbon for hanging. It […]

Main-Dempster Mile History

I’ve been a Main-Dempster Mile resident since 2000, and document many of the block parties and wine walks since they’re the perfect way to bump into friends! I also wrote […]

Love is Love Ornaments

My art fair season ended with a whirlwind of other developments on the home front, which put the blog in hibernation mode. This snow inscription on my January 1 walk was a lovely intention setter for 2020. Now I am slowly getting adjusted to a new schedule, which gives me a moment to share my […]

March Handmade Market on Saturday

Last month was a blast at the Handmade Market. The streets were cleared from the snowstorm and while side streets by the Empty Bottle were slightly messy, I found a spot on a plowed road and happily unloaded my things. This Saturday I return to Handmade Market Chicago from 12 PM – 4 PM at […]

Snowscapes

Here’s to the last hurrah of our snow fest this month. A few weeks ago Lake Michigan was splashing chilly waves all over the place. It made beautiful iciclescapes. Then came a dump of 12 inches over the weekend. Officially we got 6 on the biggest day, but it looks like more to me. Dutchies, […]

Invisible work

It’s a week of invisible work. I have a number of blog posts in my head but real life keeps me from writing them. Valentine’s Day is looming and before I could start making I had to do some organizing. So much happened in the jewelry bench drawers and yet it seemed like I spent hours […]
