127 days.

The number of days since I’ve been in the shop, the longest stretch since starting this journey in 2019. 😮

Sometimes, we just need a break from creating, even when it’s hard to step away. Fellow artists, you know the feeling, life, travels and a little reset can do wonders. Getting back at it today felt really good. 💃

When I saw this wall piece that I had started last summer, I was surprised the colors of the patina had changed so much. The hammered copper kept evolving, more reds, less turquoise.

Normally, once I’m happy with the color, I seal it to lock it in…but I did not. Scroll back to my previous post to see where it started. You see the color change, right?!

So now I’m curious, do you prefer the earlier turquoise tones, or these warmer red tones? I may have to work some magic to get those blues back. Let me know below. ⬇️

This dark walnut and hammered copper piece is two separate panels that are mirror images. It is available and there’s still time for a custom tweak to make it perfect for your space. DM me to make it yours!

Two of my art pieces were captured so beautifully in this condo listing.

The large, colourful statement piece was custom designed specifically for the space. The stunning ocean art was a collaboration with resin artist . 🌊

This South Surrey condo has been recently listed. I’ll add a link to the listing in my stories.

*The art pieces are not for sale, just the condo. 😉

After a little break this year, celebrating our son’s wedding, soaking up some amazing travel, and enjoying slower moments, I’m heading back into the shop feeling inspired.

I’m looking forward to creating again (after a serious shop cleanup…what the F happened in there? 😬) and seeing where this next year leads.

I’ll be starting off with finishing up some wall pieces that I designed in the Fall, getting back to taking on custom creations again and putting together ideas for a Spring wedding, which is so exciting! 🤍

I’ll be sharing a little wrap up of 2025 soon, lots of fun moments, with a touch of art.

Wishing my family, friends and all of you who follow along the happiest, healthiest 2026! 🤍

It’s a sign!

I picked up this little vintage mirror off of Varage Sale yesterday from one of my favourite sellers (does she know that she’s my fav? 🤷🏼‍♀️). A quick vinyl cut on my Cricut and now this cute little sign hangs in my kitchen.

Do I have time to do this? Absolutely not! I am not at all ready for Christmas. It was a total “Squirrel!” moment. Anyone else having a lot of those lately? 😬
