Jewelry is fun but it doesn't tend to keep a body warm at night.

Unless you're on the receiving end, and it's really, really nice jewelry.
(Wedding ring is my favorite. *big grin*)

Thank you, Sandy!
Its good to be posting again. I knew if I kept on reading here
eventually the quilt bug would bite again. Jewelry is fun but it doesn't
tend to keep a body warm at night.

Diana Curtis is one of the most talented women I know. She makes beautiful
quilts, lovely jewellery, and cute little frogs! She has a gorgeous little
daughter and a lovable DH. Diana is kind, sensitive, and caring with a
wicked sense of humour. Diana used to hang around here a lot and hopefully
will come back full-time real soon.

Oh, gosh.. thank you Sharon! (and a to Sandy)
I'm a 49 year old Mom to Meg, starting Kindie in a few weeks, and DS,
James, who is dad to my GS, 3 year old Marcus. I do indeed have a sweet
DH, a Canadian born guy who is extremely supportive of my quilty and
other artistic pursuits. We live in WI, not to far from another RCTQer,
Betty.
About a year ago we started a remodel project in the living room. All
we were going to do was to put a laminated floor in but then our new
neighbor offered to get out walls taped and mudded and then she got a
bad case of carpal tunnel and wasn't able to finish. One hold up after
another and it's still not done. I can't get to my material or machines
yet so till I do quilting will have to wait. Reading here has helped me
not miss it toooooo much but making jewelry is easier on the small work
surface thats available at this point.
A friend asked if I wanted to open a store on Etsy with her and I
jumped at the chance. I do make some of the jewelry thats there but
mostly I have fun with the polyclay. No one has bought anything from me
yet, but knowing folks are looking and liking is a big ego kick for me.
Remember the dahlia quilt adventure of a year or so ago? Thats the
one project I can get to and it could still end up done and on my bed
this fall because its being done by hand. I just have to find the right
background material (I'm being picky) White just wont do.
Thanks again for welcoming me back so warmly. Who volunteered me to
bring the chocolate for the rest of the year?? That always happens when
I step out for a bit. I suspect Pat did, tho I wouldn't put it past
Wendy either.
Hugs,
Diana, waving to friends, both familiar and ones I haven't met yet....

Amazing how the little ones grow, isn't it?

Its good to be back, and especially nice to know that you may share in
our cyber chocolate occasionally. I'll still make sure the licorice bowl
heads in your direction often tho.
