bits of a day

the hours fly by as I work in the studio alone- Patrick was here part of the day and then teaching for the afternoon.  I can focus only for so long at a time until I have to wander out into the garden when its sunny.  It so much an inspiration for our jewelry designs, in case you couldnt tell. The Flowers are coming!  

in the morning before I get too far, I usually stand in the back doorway, just outide our little soldering room and stare at the bamboo and the climbing rose with so many buds.  Next to Ganesh, and ponder....

daisy is in charge of this path

I'll bring some of this lavender inside this evening

a good day...

a birthday and suddenly its May!

Happy happy birthday to good friend Heidi today xoxoxoxo

I looked up and it was suddenly May!  Things have been so busy here in the studio and in the garden April just flew by. And now, it is truly the burgeoning spring I love so much. May and June are by far my most favorite months of the years with the lush greens and blooms everywhere and most of all the sun!!

We are working like mad to prepare for a June trade show  and a beautiful new catalog that will go out to our growing mailing list of galleries near and far.  Look for a retail catalog available to all by the holiday season this year !!!

We're also looking forward to setting up our beautiful new booth at NW Folklife in Seattle over Memorial Day Weekend. Gorgeous new silk wall panels are in the making as well as a new banner just designed ands sent off to the printer this week.  And lots of new pieces with, you guessed it, flowers, lovely gemstones, silk and leather.  It should be a great show and looking forward to spending some good times with family and friends that weekend as well.

Will try to blog a little bit more often rather than waiting so long. More soon xxoo Katy Jane
