Christmas in Iowa

-
Seems like my post these days are very inconsistent...finishing my holiday shopping, 
...work all done .....houses ready to close while I'm gone and ready to close when I'm back, showings set up and paperwork done. And thank you for assistants.
for a week in Iowa with family. Weather makes us think we might be here longer. And that's ok with us😄

 I did manage to finish a couple pieces of jewelry before I left to bring along for gifts. 
Funny thing now is there is a huge winter storm headed our way and family may or may not make it here. We may not be able to fly out to go home....that's ok. We love being here with family. Twice a year is not enough time to spend with those you love. So just having time to be around those you love is a gift. One of the best gifts one can ask for.  I'll try and set one of those New  Year Resolutions to be a better blogger. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.

Welcome to Foxhollow Studio! I am so happy to share my Creative Space with you! ok....I went shopping today and added a lamp and some greenery. I love these things that make me get things done. Look at the difference....much better! I use my shelves above my work table to display some favorite items that I have made, received in swaps and were given as gifts by artist friends. This is a new color and a fresh look for me this year...take a look at last years studio pic. I love the new color and my chandelier! I must admit...after I saw Karen's jars covered with embellishments for holding her tools, I made some too! They were so much fun to do, that I made some and gave them away! I always enjoy finding vintage items for storing my tools, like this old bowl for my jewelry tools and the old metal drawers are great for jewelry parts with its divided compartments. I took an old water sprinkler for displaying the jewelry that I am making or its handy for when I w
