I remember fishing with my dad as a young girl. Those quiet mornings in the flat-bottomed boat with my dad bring warm memories. I have a few tiles in my shop that pay tribute to those memories. We often caught bluegills from the lakes around Michigan, but the fish featured on my tiles are tropical fish, as I currently live on the Atlantic coast. … More Unique Father’s Day Tiles for Fishing Dads

The hot weather is still very present here in sunny Florida, but the neighborhood is beginning to feel more like fall. Summer is full of children playing and riding bikes. School started last week. Even though I am an empty-nester I notice the quiet once the school buses collect the students and take them off to school. I admit I like the quiet most of the time, but I really do enjoy hearing the kids playing as well. … More End of Summer…Sale!

As a creative person, it is sad when you have to take a break from the joys of creating to have hand surgery. I recently had to have hand surgery for a trigger thumb in my left hand. It took a long time to get an appointment with the doctor, and a long time to schedule the surgery. The staff at the hospital were wonderful. The surgery was outpatient and didn’t take long at all. I’m happy with the results, as my hand is getting more flexible and stronger every day. … More Recent Hand Surgery
