Where Have I Been?

I've been here and there and everywhere! Really, I was all over the country last summer, on tour playing accordion with Origami Ghosts. That was an amazing adventure; playing music through the vast summer heat of the USA. I also slung my homemade jewelry the whole way.

Upon my return to Seattle and adjustment to sedentary life I began to sell my wares at the Hangover Flea Market at the Comet Tavern. This is always fun! It takes place a couple of Sunday afternoons out of each month. Now I'm just trying to carve more time out of a busy schedule to work on some new jewelry and to share some of what I've been working on with the blog world.

So, here is my welcome back to myself and to you!

I am so amazed by this!

And I think that I'm a little late to know about it- but I love it!  I love the idea of a community of people coming together to crochet a coral reef to promote awareness of the destruction of global warming.  I guess that it is possible to become involved with this giant community project.

Ghost Gallery!

There is a lovely little gallery shop in Capitol Hill called the Ghost Gallery. I am so pleased to say that some of my things are now in this lovely shop for sale!
Every month new art is featured in the gallery and there is plenty to look at and experience. I love it!
