Herman Quinn Checks out the Kitty Beads

It has been a while since I have featured a new Herman Roosevelt Quinn photo. He is in his twilight years, and every day is precious. I love that he still has his curious moments and loves to cuddle up to his canine buddy, Sophie. In this photo, he is supervising a kitty custom order that I am working on.

Oh, I love this cat!

Finally. An update to the Bead Blog!

After such a prolonged absence, I have to wonder if anyone is still out there! I have been busy. Not with bead stuff, but doing web sites, writing articles, etc. I miss torching and will be back soon.

Here is a peek at one of the sites that I recently completed: Southcare Animal Medical Center. Still a work-in-progress, like all web sites! (this one included) I also updated this site's blog and working on some new design ideas on the site to freshen things up.

In the meantime, I have updated my Etsy store with some new graphics and will be removing all current inventory or moving some to the sale section to make way for some fresh new listings.

I also took a family trip to the Grand Canyon. This was our first visit ever, and we hit some great weather for late March/early April! Here are some photos I took while hiking.







And of course, spending lots of time with the pets! Dog, cats and s!

New stuff - business card and postcard

It was time for an update! Here are my new postcard and business card for 2008.

Back after a break

Whew - February kind of flew by! :o

I was away at the Westminster Dog Show in New York City for a good part of the month, and spent a large amount of time getting ready/catching up on work before and after the trip. I had an amazing time at the show and a great time re-visiting New York, my sister and friends on the other coast. I had lots of fun eating fabulous food, walking around Canal Street, SoHo, museums and discovering many treasures at Pearl River; a mecca for everything related to tea, ceramic dishes (great for glass frit) and lots of other stuff!

I am getting things back in order here and will be listing new beads soon. In the meantime, check out the *free fish* drawing below! As always, thanks for stopping by.
