No, it’s not the same as being on the cover of Rolling Stone, but I’m still pretty happy :-)I’ve got two articles in the March/April issue of Jewelry Crafts magazine, and one of them is sitting right on the COVER!!

Here are the first couple of steps that I’ve taken in starting up a new embroidered necklace. You can see the basic outlines on the foundation: just the neckline, the center, and a few outer guidelines.

Autumn in the middle of winter? At least it’s still winter if you’re here in New England…everywhere else it might be the beginning of spring, but not here. Oh no… :-)

One of the best ways I’ve found to take a break from intricate work is to grab my huge “dummy” knitting needles and mindlessly make a scarf out of some sort of fabulous yarn. For this one I used a Louisa Harding yarn called “Sari Ribbon”.
Most of the time when I do this, […]

I’m thinking spring. I don’t know why, because we’ve had one of the snowiest winters ever in New England…oh, wait a minute…that’s why! ;-)
