It's been awhile



Hello Blogger friends! I've truly missed everyone in this fun sharing space. 

I've been gone a long time. To mega simplify, life got very complicated and I slid down the rabbit hole and found myself in a very challenging time of life which lasted many years.  After caring for and losing my husband of 45 years, my 93 year old mother and several other family members in a relatively short timespan (all during Covid) I have emerged from the grief and trauma with faith intact and creative juices renewed.
 
Having been a maker all my life, I am happy to be back creating new projects and listing vintage finds for my Etsy shop. Although due to the extreme and ever rising prices of shipping, I have been forced to limit my current creations to mostly smaller wire art, small assemblages and small vintage finds. I liquidated most of the larger bits of my decades of collected vintage components with the need to move to a smaller dwelling but onward and upward I go to new adventures in life and creativity--even if it is on a smaller scale. I can't wait to get some new projects posted and catch up with all things bloggy and see what everyone has been up to lately. 💛💛
