Recently I was able to take a glass blowing class at a local glass shop called Circle 6 Studios. I used my class time to create a blown pumpkin. It came out so lovely and sweet I am excited to display if for the fall season.

This is a shot of me working with the instructor, sticking the glass on the end of the rod into the glory hole.

And this is me seated and the bench using the large tweezer like tool to shape the pumpkin before it’s blown into the bulb like shape.

I created some new Christmas wreaths this year and wanted to share some pictures of them. I was inspired by a lot of natural materials this year.

I saw this great idea on Pinterest and knew I had to make one myself. I had everything on hand and whipped it up in about an hour with drying time over night for the lid to glue using E-6000.

I love decorating for Christmas. I wanted to share some pictures from my Christmas decorating this year. My home has a lovely winter wonderland feeling in the  Sonoran Desert in my 1950’s mid-century ranch home. I am enjoying the spirit completely this year!
