Follow my journey of exploration of what it takes to be an artist who plays with fire. I sculpt miniature, wearable glass lampwork beads focusing on my loves of the ocean and flowers.   My Blog gives the behind the scenes workings of a glass fine artist. I'll share with you what inspires me, what motivates me, how I create unique pieces of art and what I have to do to be a successful glass artist.

A 2010 new year's resolution to become an "Ideal Homemaker" by organizing, cleaning, and completing my oh so many unfinished projects around the house!

The Rules

"Using creative design, artistic inspiration, and scrapbook ideas to foster a happy life; celebrating the daydreamer in all of us!"

We're Ashley & Stephen – a 20-something twosome living in Upstate NY. Sadly, we're rarely home when the sun is up. And when we are, we're depleted, likely watching reruns of Glee on Hulu. Regardless, we consider ourselves homemakers. Yes. Both of us. Our tools of choice may be different (I prefer a whisk & paintbrush, Stephen prefers a sawsall & beer tap), but our goal is the same: To make the most out of our 60+-year-old house, to cook and eat great (veggie/vegan) food, and to find joy in all things nesting.
