Somehow my sis and I picked up a bad habit, on NYE mind you, of singing bounce shake twerk work. No, actually the blame falls on my husband. He’s notorious for saying the most catchy and entertaining stuff. It takes a full out mental effort to get it out of my...

Ironically I topped the year off with a black bag. Most would probably think this is where a designer would start, simple and classic. But I like to say I’m working up to better and best. I do love every piece I make, and my craft becomes more passion filled as...

My order was completely off. I was star struck AFTER I google stalked Kat. I’ve not known her long, but I look forward to every one of our lunch dates. Plus she’s been bit by the entrepreneurial bug, and is doing something about it. And I’m joining...

These are the last of photos from the NYC folder on my cpu. And there’s no point in not sharing them. Have you had enough yet? I almost titled this one “And You Never Will.” It’s kind of an inside joke but it stemmed from one of the craziest...
