Can you believe it? Hand painted. Sprinkle fill. First. Time. Ever. For this talented person. She had a vision. I had the stuff she needed.
With the right tools and some time to play. It’s all coming together.
Go @shainadegroote - can’t wait to see it finished!!

The quiet of ocean waves and a breeze.
Outer Banks never disappoints - every day is unique and brings sheer, natural beauty. The peace and serenity is good for the soul. The ocean brings a grounding I cannot find anywhere else. Even the rain, thunder, and occasional raucous neighbors (or was that us?) brings joy. Happiness is being surrounded by family and I’m so thankful for this time together.
Do you have some time scheduled for a reset, a break, or moments filled with a place and/or people you love?
Happy Monday! ⛅️

Happy Birthday, Heather! Wishing you the best day and a year ahead filled with love, happiness, and laughter 🩷🌸🩷
Please join me for a quick overview of a very special event hosted by @schifferpublishing - Celebrating their 50th anniversary as independent publishers, they welcomed (and fed!) their staff, authors, and their families.
On display was a sampling of their amazing books - a small sample that becomes more real when you see the warehouse filled with ALL the titles! 📚
The warehouse team did an amazing job transforming the warehouse into a magical setting - but it was equally exciting to see the inventory in person.
It was also overwhelming and inspiring to see the breadth of the work as well as meet many of the authors and the publishing team behind each title.
The evening was filled with an immense amount of talent - kindness, gratitude, and a welcoming spirit were also evident.
Icing on the cake was spending time with @karlarosenbusch - a friend and former coworker - and my editor! Thank you, Karla - you took such good care of @richardhonaman and me 💜
I’m honored to be part of the Schiffer family as a new author and humbled by what that means.
Congratulations to Schiffer Publishing, the Schiffer family, and the Schiffer team. Thank you for having us and for welcoming me with open arms ♥️🖤

Delivery day. And just in time! Working on so many finished designs with so many different materials. And of course. I needed more.
On top of more.
Thank you @halsteadjewelrysupplies for your excellent customer service, amazing product selection, shipping efficiency, eco consciousness, and your appreciation for my business. Every part of this means the world to a small business and for someone like me who sometimes gets inspired before materials are in hand, yet I’m on/past deadline!
Sterling silver chain for the win. And a few other things I had to have. 😆
Don’t mind the mess. Something big is in the works (multi-layer necklace without a true North, just yet!). I’m close to done with this one. Will then clean up. And start the next one.

Heart & Hands of a Maker interview with Carrie Story of Clay Revolution
Meet Cat Kerr in this episode of Heart & Hands of a Maker.
Cat's creative journey started when she was very young and aspired to be a fashion designer.
Currently, Cat’s art revolves around color, whether through acrylic paints or wax sticks. And she’s having a great time combining all the materials and techniques she’s explored over the years, including the use of canvas, metal, assemblage, and art journaling, reflecting a bit of everything in her artist’s toolbox.
Cat shares her approach to creativity and emphasizes the importance of making connections and trying new things.

A little ASMR (for me). Took a break from the projects I’m working on to just sit and listen. Then wanted to capture some of this for when it’s not so lush and beautiful around here. And for when we’re in our normal dry/drier season. And maybe for when it’s winter and I need some color to brighten the day. Then wanted to share in case this sound supports/helps you in some way.
