I'm busy. I'm busy figuring out how to take care of parents. Busy raising a kid in a county where many will deem them unworthy of life, liberty and happiness. Busy trying to figure out how to make ends meet. Busy managing chronic illness. Busy being a supportive spouse. Rest is impossible. Too busy.

Tariffs are here and we're all feeling the pinch. Since you're going to be doing some holiday shopping anyway, consider shopping handcrafted/handgrown FIRST. #prettyshinybeads #beadweaving #tariffs #shoplocal #shophandmade #shopsmall #yesiamtheartist

It's not perfectly symetrical, but that's part of its charm. This agate stone has streaks of iron running through it giving it a really cool look and feel. #prettyshinybeads #beadweaving

Are your ears ready for Halloween! My Halloween earring designs are created in limited runs, so if you miss out, you'll have to wait for next year before they will be available again.
