  30. WOW a workbench designed for you! LOVE IT!!!!

    I can't complain, I have a 10 x 20 storage building that's been turned into a studio, but I dream of a bright open place in my home where I can play and design and build my roomboxes and mini dolls.

    Thank you for sharing part of your world.

  34. Thanks for your nice words about Katie, Diane. You get ir! I love that you talk to your daughter daily. They are just a treasure...not perfect, but neither are we!

    You know she is older...just living with us during grad school. She was gone from 18-28. Long story, started with some depression after a bad break-up and drastically changing directions. She will probably be on her own next year. Then we will talk on the phone daily...maybe!!!

    Hugs,
    Suz

  36. Hi Diane! I really enjoyed checking out where you create all those beautiful pieces of jewelry as well as reading about you on Crescendoh. I visit your blog often and meant to tell you that I love your new logo - the two little girls holding hands. How creative to crop the vintage photo to only show this. Cheers from Brussels - Cathy
