:: About Us ::

I began painting ceramics when I was 20 years old
and to put it simply...
I just fell in love with it...
the feel of a finished piece, the joy of opening a fired kiln
and the excitement of not knowing exactly
how a piece will turn out is an amazing experience.
  Twenty seven years later
I am still fascinated with the art
of taking mud and turning it into a totally unique piece.

I am blessed to be able to get a glimpse of how God must feel
when he looks at us...his creations.
I am nothing but a creature that he made from dust...
but with his Spirit alive in me...
I am transformed into a beautiful light to shine for him.

But we hold this treasure in earthenware vessels,
that the surpassing power
may be of God and not from us.

2 Corinthians 4:7

I want people who either purchase my wares or receive them as gifts
to know who is responsible for the joy I hope each item brings.

I sign each piece and date it...but the first thing I paint before signing
my name is a small cross so that people will know
that a Christian painted it.
It is my way of bringing honor to my Savior
for the blessing of my talent.

To try and list all of the blessings that my loving God
has bestowed upon my family and myself would be impossible
 so I'll just elaborate on the ones that I hold most precious.

:: His most awesome blessing ::
He sent his only Son...Jesus Christ to suffer and die on a cross for us
so that we may enjoy eternal life with him in Heaven.
I am so privileged to be able to receive him in Holy Communion
until I meet him in eternity.

:: My Family ::

My husband and I will celebrate our 29th anniversary next February.
I thank God for providing me
with such a faithful, loving and supportive partner.

He has blessed us with 3 amazing children.
A son and daughter who have graduated from college (son recently returned to grad school)
and our youngest daughter will start her second year as a college student.

The talents he blessed me with allowed me
to be a work at home mom...
to be there when they left for school
and when they arrived home again.
A lot of times I would be helping them with their homework...
holding a paint brush in one hand and a dictionary in the other
and a batch of homemade cookies in the oven
...but it was Great!!!

In 2007, I wanted to add more variety to our offerings
...so I started selling my hand painted curtains.

I LOVE TO SEW!!!
A special thanks to my mom. 
She allowed me to begin using her "good" sewing machine
when I was only 10 years old
...that was over 37 years ago!!!

I have always sewn for my family and for school activities for my children,
such as dance and drama productions...but never as a business. 

I am so very blessed that my line of curtains has been so well received.
