I recently had an order for one of my recycled wine bottle cheese boards from someone in Hawaii. I began to wonder about how many states have one of my stained glass or fused glass creations in them… I started thinking… how cool would it be to have sold something in every of the 50 states.

Some Valentine’s Day gift ideas from my 1000Markets shop.
The New Year is a week old already. I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions, but I have been reflecting on the past and the future. In looking back at last year, most of my focus was on fused glass.

For the last few weeks I have been running around preparing for the Season’s of the Heart Craft bazaar.
Every year I tell myself, “This is the last time I am doing a craft show!” So why do I do them?
