Here's a mini chair I covered in pink and orange buttons. Love buttons. My plan is to cover a giant chair with buttons....my giant butterfly chair. Pictures posted when that project is done!

New Website (in the making)

So, my new website is: www.joyfulgecko.com ! You can go there but there is nothing up...yet. I love creating so creating this website will be lots of fun. Lots of time involved, I see, and lots to learn, but FUN. My husband and I also bought these perfect little black boxes, lined in white cotton. We'll use these to package the little geckos and fused glass pieces in. I want to find the perfect rafia or other ribbon to tie a simple bow around the boxes, logo attached. I want the packaging to be memorable and snappy. My trusted friend and sister-outlaw has told my husband that everybody makes fused glass. OK, good information and, honestly, I have seen them at every craft fair I have gone to. But people have bought my fused glass pendants right off my neck for $25-$35 a piece.

And, what about that cool baseball hat with a gold star? You just know he's a winner on that team. That's our Grandpa Rusty, our very own, well-loved triathlete.

This beautiful royal blue iris was painted by Ann Caver, a very talented multi-media artist now living in Taos, New Mexico. I am really drawn in by the deep, dark blue of this bearded iris. I'd like to climb right up that "beard" and see what lays inside that beautiful flower...follow the light. I may be attending an art retreat soon in Taos and I hope to be able to spend some time with Ann. She is missed on the seacoast.
