Creativity...

...is most indeed imitation. 

This is a great post by Bill Walsh on the Desiring God blog.

Gettin' all purtied up

to go to the show...

I have a show in the Chicago area next weekend, and most every waking (should-be-sleeping) moment is being spent on making jewelry. But I really, really need to re-organize. I just ordered a bunch of new pretty gems for the show and pending orders, and I'm having a hard time finding where to put them. I desperately need to re-organize my studio area. Not to mention paint, put up shelving, clean, pull up the carpet.... and the list goes on. Oh well - I suppose it will wait. 

Here we go!

Aaaaaand.... let the blogging begin.
