I have new ghost earrings 👻

They will be available tomorrow at Pumpkins & Pippins, and then at Cumberland Pride Festival on the 25th.

I will be a vendor at these festivals in October:

Buttonwood Nature Center's Pumpkins & Pippins Fall

Cumberland Pride Festival

New stuff at The Artist's Palette Hair Salon and Gallery in Smithsburg! I'll be slowly adding more stuff in the coming months. I run a weekly homeschool group in addition to homeschooling my middle schooler, so I'll only be able to bead here and there. Currently working on updated apples, monarch wings, and a bunch of Stardew Valley inspired earrings in my free time.

**Please note for all of the non-bots, I don't ship my items. You would either need to visit my display at The Artist's Palette in downtown Smithsburg or catch me at one of the festivals I attend.**

Edit: They're probably bots, but I'm getting several comments about shipping. If you are an actual person, please note that I only sell locally! I will have these for sale at The Artist Palette in Smithsburg in a few weeks, plus at Pumpkin & Pippins and Cumberland Pride in October.

Continuing the tradition of taking product pics on my beading board instead of the light box I was gifted over a year ago, here's my newly finished army of turtle earrings 🐢

I'm still here, guys! It's been a rough health month. Some updates:

- I applied to be a vendor at Cumberland Pride Festival in October. I was a vendor for two years straight, but we couldn't do last year because of the heat in June. I'm so glad they moved it to Spooky Season 🎃👻🏳️‍🌈

- I am working on a bunch of new products for Fall, plus brand new backing cards! I'll be completely switching out my display at The Artist's Palette Hair Salon and Gallery in August (I hope).

I am working much more slowly due to several chronic health conditions becoming worse this year. Beading is my therapy, so I'm not giving it up! Just know that if you don't hear from me for a while, I'm being forced to rest.

Thank you to everyone for your support 💙

My family asked if I could make a Squirtle keychain. Took me a few days of trial and error, but i guess I can 😁

I am donating these cute turtle earrings to Buttonwood for a future event. I thought I'd share them here 🐢

04/23/2026

I will be set up here on Saturday with some all new products!🌎

Earth Celebration 🌎 and Recycle Yard Sale ♻️ are coming up around the corner! Join us for a fun spring day and support Buttonwood Nature Center!

New product! 🐝

It only took me 2 years to get the idea to work...

I'm working overtime (and around my furry son) to make products for my Spring festivals. Chickens and cherry blossoms are available at The Artist Palette.
