When I am in my studio creating I like to listen to Sirus Radio Top 40 hits, Sirus the Pulse, or just watch a favorite TV show!

Love Night Light *New Design*

Here is my latest soldered night light...it is a new design!





Everyone needs a night light. So don’t get just any old light, get a light that will not only do the job it will also look good while doing it! This little light that I made would be charming in any room!

I printed this image on my HP printer. The image is encased between two pieces of glass (3" X 2.5") and then soldered (with a lead free solder). This sweet light looks really cute when lit up (the picture does not do it justice). This little night light will come in a clear gift box like the one shown in the photo below, it is ready to give as a gift!



I also have more designs for night lights, if you would like to see any of the others just let me know and I can make another one for you! I will be adding more designs soon! Thanks for looking! ;)

**PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A STOCK PHOTO YOUR NIGHT LIGHT MIGHT VARY SLIGHTLY**

Yay...I'm on Indie Parade!

I found out about a wonderful site Indie Parade from a really fun blog that I read called Tizzalicious www.tizzlovescrafts.blogspot.com. The other day she shared that two of her wonderful pieces got listed on Indie Parade...so I thought that I would give it a try. I submitted a little soldered charm. The one that I submitted did not get in, but my soldered cherry pendant on a red ribbon cord got on! :) Indie Parade is a really cool site...you should check it out www.indieparade.com.

It never really seems that he was a baby, he was born 10 pounds 4 ounces (my poor sister)! :0
