We had a great book shoot for Exposed! and my trip to Paris was divine!  I scored a small pile of ephemera and some yummy vintage pins I'm going to mold and make into cool new projects for my gallery in my other new book.  Lots going on around the Potter Homestead since we returned including the addition of two new to us pot bellied pigs replete with their own gingerbread trim pig cottage.

Yes, it's Green Acres around these parts.  I'd name one Arnold Ziffel, but they came with names.  Shhhh...don't tell us we've only got .68 acres galdangy, we're squeezing every last bit of farmy goodness out of it.  We also got 6 new to us hens to increase our flock.  Nothing like free range eggs fresh from the hen house!

I'm hard at work on the gallery pieces for Beyond the Bead and I'm gearing up for a trip to Tokyo.  CHA is sending li'l ol me as the envoy for Jewelry Making.  I'm simultaneously flattered and flummoxed.  So far the demo plans and the manufacturer support is working out just peachy.  Let's just hope Madge doesn't manage to offend anyone with her penchant for naughty words!

Until next time...craft on with your bad selves.
