Cronicles of Cupcake the Otter & His Covid-19lbs of Chunk
Meet Cupcake! Contrary to popular belief, he didn't get his name from having a sugary-sweet personality. During the year long Covid quarantine, Cupcake built quite the reputation for putting down the baked goods by the baker's dozen.
His kryptonite? Boston cream filled vanilla cupcakes with a maraschino cherry buttercream frosting. Aside from the extra Covid-19lbs of insulation, his otter-stache (aka flavor saver) is permanently stained a cupcake color. Time for a Keto-Kelp health eating plan!
On a positive note, the local bakery near the wildlife sanctuary is thriving.
Nonya Beeswax!
Nonya is a sassy little guy. He likes to hoard seed and when asked, "what do you have there?" He promptly responds with a chirpy "Nonya Beeswax!" Someone may need to learn to share... getting a little round in the mid-section.
For my glassy-geek friends... this was made with CiM Beeswax Misty.
CiM Toothpaste... so minty fresh!
Loving how this fan/light pull turned out! It was created from CiM Toothpaste and pure 24kt gold.
It will definitely add design interest and a pop of color to a lucky lamp or fan.

Why I trail run...
...because sometimes life is challenging and it gives me strength to know that I can accomplish hard things like summit mountains in my physical and personal life. By small in simple things, great things can be accomplished... one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward.
Carb Loading
Puffin
Taking a break from pumpkins for puffins.
Pretty sure it is a fair tradeoff since both are round and roly.
Strike!
1. Opportunity to kick your friends butts in a competitive venue. Who doesn't love that? A darn fool, that's who!
2. Get Fit! Most people assume there is no health benefit to bowling. Actually bowling can help a person gain balance, coordination, and motor skills. Boring! Next reason...
3. Fun! Pretty sure we covered the fun factor in reason 1, however you can also laugh at your friends while bowling... I mean "with" your friends, eat pizza, and try on smelly shoes while worrying about ending up with some funky toe fungus. Win, win, win!
4. Making new friends and meeting new people! Good thing too, you will need this opportunity to make new friends after your old ones find out how awesome you are at bowling a perfect game. #sorelosers
5. $$$ Just think of the sponsorship moola that will come your way!? The professional endorsements are yours for the taking. Granted, you will have to commit your life to bowling, train 24-7 and lug around a heavy ball. Totally worth it to be known as a Proballer!
Bat Shi# Crazy
Where has the time gone? October already and not the best year for bats. After a bit of bad press, this guy is looking for a happy home. #batshitcrazy
Out of my Gourd Series - Pumpklops
Meet Pumpklops - This one-eyed
pumpkin needs Invisalign and a vision corrective monocle... talk about
high maintenance! His depth perception is extremely poor and he ends up breaking a
lot of things out of sheer clumsiness... oopsies! Definitely looking
to re-home him since I cannot afford the increase cost of replacing
damaged decor. Just in case you are wondering, he would make a
disgusting filling for pumpkin pie... pithy to the core!
Reminder - Beads of Courage
Happy Sunday Morning! Just remembering the first time I heard of the Beads of Courage program... almost 14 years ago. It was a moment that changed my heart and helped me heal from the loss of my mother to Glioblastoma. It was an opportunity to use my skills to make others smile and briefly forget about their health challenges. I love that about Beads of Courage! So I challenge you to Make, Donate, and/or Carry a Bead. I promise it will change your perspective and bring you happiness.
Ironman's Arc Reactor bead (glow in the dark glass)
Currently Color Testing & Custom Orders
I truly hope you have a safe and happy Holiday weekend!
Back at it...
Monarchs in the Moonlight
Comes on a 16 inch sterling silver chain.
Hands down, the best monarch encased bead that has come out of my studio.
I will be sad to see him go. Enjoy!
Reclaimed Brass
A simple design to freshen up a brass fixture. Features soft ivory, gray, and 24kt gold.
Handle with Care
One of the greatest life lessons I witnessed was my Father's care for my Mother before she lost her battle with a rare glioblastoma in 2006. --- When you truly love a person, you never give up on them.
She was worth it. The example of loyalty and unwavering commitment is something not witnessed often in today's world. I often wonder if it still exists?
Meet My Significant Otter
Some may say that he needs to shave his bushy mustache, however I disagree. #whiskerkisses
I'm Late
