Brief Interview for the Examiner

Check out this Philly crafting article on The Examiner featuring work and words of wisdom from me :)

It features the calendar I made for this year with the Philly Skyline.

Shop & Craft Fair & More

I applied to my first craft show and if I get in, I will be sharing a table with Ann from Top Stitch Design at 30th Street Station Craft Market presented by Vix Emporium.

I am super excited and also scrambling to get everything together in case we get in. I have been busy this week, ordered business cards, stickers, new materials for products, as well as added about 10 new items to my shop.

All this activity is exciting! Here are a just a few new items from my shop.

Golden Pyramid Small Post Earrings

 

"The And" Inspirational 8x8 Print

Gold Chevron Antique Brass Earrings

Zoey Cat Plastic Post Earrings

As you can see, my interests have taken me every which way in jewelry and creating designs for print. I love being able to explore all different types of crafting and then sharing it! 

Aside from working in the studio, I have been drawing up plans for our outdoor patio! This weather is perfect and I can't wait for Alex to get back so we can take full advantage of our new home :)

Tulum, Quintana Roo and Chitzen Itza, Yucatan

Ik Kil Cenote, which was right outside of the Chitzen Itza ruins. Some swimming and jumping occurred.

Chichen Itza ruins, which were about a two hour drive from our hut in Tulum.

I don't know what these are, but I couldn't help myself.

The beach of Tulum.

The Tulum Ruins, which were overrun by....

these little guys.

The ruins of Limon, which were basically in someone's front yard in the small village of Limon.

This little guy was hanging out in Bacalar at the lagoon where we ate lunch.

Things We Saw

Our trip began in Mexico City and here were some photos taken with our Nikon D-60 camera. It was an amazing city with even more amazing food. Tacos on every corner.

The above pictures were taken in Chapultepec Park and Chapultepec Castle. 

Restaurante Los Manantiales in Xochimilco by architect, Felix Candela. 

The floating gardens of Xochimilco, for a day filled with boats, cerveza, mariachi bands, and of course tacos.

The Frida Kahlo house, which we didn't actually go inside, but we did explore the San Angel neighborhood, which was beautiful.

Aerolito in Tulum

The most beautiful mosquito trap!
