In April’s DYK I wrote about my love for the special women in my life. For Mother Day I made presents for my Mom and Mother-in-law. Here is the present I made for my mom. It’s a Fused Glass flower vase and to make it really special I added a […]
Last year I made presents for my grandniece Ryan. I screen-printed bibs and a glass sconce. My niece, Kaci, just had a beautiful little girl – Emeri. She’s such a cutie so I made her some bibs too. It’s a different type of bib, much easier to screen-print on. I […]
*I screwed up – sometimes when I have a similar post I duplicate it and use it as a base. I wrote a post about the beauty of Westcliffe but instead of duplicating it I “updated it”. Which means this post overwrote by beauty of Westcliffe from April. So, it […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving because it’s focused on family. We always go visit Dan’s family in Delta Colorado. Even though Sky wasn’t with us we did have an addition to the family, Ryan. Isn’t she adorable? We had a fabulous time, I love spending […]
My nephew, Rocky, just retired from the Air Force. He served 22 years just as I did. I’m so proud of him and I wanted to create something to commemorate his retirement. I created custom screen prints and then created this beautiful iridized white sconce. It’s kind of perfect timing […]
In 2019 before covid we had a fabulous family reunion. My mom is in a nursing facility, so we try to have them every two years at most. Here are some of my pictures. The far right are my brothers and sisters with my momma (7 out of 10 isn’t […]
I love flowers and one of my favorite things about Westcliffe and Colorado as a whole is the wildflowers. We went to Westcliffe last month and even though it’s toward the end of summer the flowers are still around, especially amazing sunflowers. Here are some pictures of one of my […]
It’s that time again, I so love the wildflowers of Colorado. The interesting thing about Westcliffe is that every time we go there are different flowers, and I love them all. I also have to take several pictures of each flower. This first group of flowers are from the side […]
This month my husband and I went to a Josh Groban concert at Red Rocks. Josh Groban has the most amazing voice, and his songs are so uplifting. My husband and I have loved Josh since 2002. The first time we heard him was in Japan, we went to Tama […]
Over the 4th of July we went to visit Dan’s Family in Delta Colorado. It was a long drive but they are very worth it. As we were driving to Delta through Montrose I saw a sign for the Black Canon and I told Dan I’ve never been there and […]
We took another trip to Westcliffe. Last year when we went there were tons of wildflowers this time of year. This year there wasn’t as many but they were still awesome. We also went to the property, mostly cactus but there were a few more flowers as well. Other beautiful […]
It’s been a few months since I visited Westcliffe so I really needed this trip. We did a bit of our normal routine including visiting the properties, going to the bakery, etc. This time we stayed at Dark Sky Suites. It’s ok, but for the price I expect a bit […]
As I have mentioned before in my posts, I have a job that allows me to travel and when I travel for work I try to do something for me as well. Last month was a busy month for me not only did I go to Paris I also got […]
I had a business trip last month to LA and as it turned out it was only 15 mins from my son’s house. I was able to see my son, my daughter-in-law, and of course my beautiful granddaughter. As I watched her play, I was mesmerized, she’s so beautiful and […]
