What a jam packed few days it’s been since I posted last! The days in Tucson are always long because you’re working all day, and then gathering with friends at night. A few hours of sleep and then I’m up to do it all again!… Read More

It was the night before the Big Show…
Hello from Tucson! The bead and gem and jewelry forces of the universe are gathering in this corner of the Earth to show off the best we have to show for the next few weeks. There’s simply nothing else like it.… Read More
Cables are taking over my life
Oh, I do love a cool gadget. I’m not one of those tech geeks who buys the latest and greatest of every new thing out there. As a matter of fact, I’m absurdly proud of the fact that we don’t even have a DVD player.… Read More
