Artisan Handmade Gift Ideas - Three for Thursday
Posted June 28, 2018
“I work to provide symbolic reminders of our connection to the earth and beyond.”
I love this quote from Christine of beadfreaky, one of the artists featured in this week’s Three for Thursday blog. I firmly believe a large majority of handmade artists feel that way since since each piece created has a bit of the maker’s own heart and spirit captured in it. Each handmade piece of art is as meaningful and unique as the person who created it.

Winter White - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Posted December 20, 2017
Tomorrow officially ushers in the Winter Solstice, first day of winter, at 9:28 a.m. here in Central Mountain Time. Wintery weather has already frigid cold, ice and snow to many parts of the United States, with more predicted that will probably affect some Christmas travel. We actually had an unexpected snowfall here in the Desert Southwest on December 7! What started out as light rain turned into big, beautiful snowflakes falling out of the sky. But by the late afternoon, most of the snow had already melted with the exception of the highest peaks of the Franklin Mountains.

Blooming Trees: Pink and White - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Posted February 24, 2016
I almost hate to admit it because I know many people are having a hard winter with snow and extreme cold. I almost hate to admit that the weather here has been awesome, short sleeve shirts with a light jacket at night, I almost hate to admit that many trees are blooming, the pears with their snowy white and the peach and cherries with their perfect pink. I do have to admit that this warm weather is not normal for this time of the year and unexpected freezing temperatures could undo the fountain of flowers that the warmth has brought. But I am going to enjoy the warm sun and the beautiful flowering trees while I can!
