Off Season in Montana

This is a particularly strange time amongst our seasonal changes. You can still ski, but it's corn, you can bike but it's mud unless you drive, and forget hiking unless you like mud and widening the trail? And don't plant the garden yet! You may want to, but it won't work. As many of you know, it is okay to plant cold season crops when the ground is workable. Well my friends, don't plant before May 1st in Bozeman, your crops will freeze. So the Husband and I are doing what we can to get outside to smear fat. We skiied on Saturday and biked on Sunday. I am now embracing this odd springtime weather. Our trip to Mexico helped scratch my itchy spring fever feet, but just a bit.

Howdy Peeps,

I hope this note finds you well. I have had plenty of fresh turns in the powder and have spent some time outside. Oh joy, it has been nice. With over 2 feet in the last storm cell, we keep getting little bits of snow. Boy, do we need it. There has been a definite change to spring snow, but we are still in the thick of winter. And I do love the snow and cold temps.

Shop Update

Good evening to you all, I am sleepy but happy as can be. My two trunk shows were a total success last week. I ended up selling quite a few pieces and had just a joyous time while doing so. Whether going to shows or hosting them here at our house, I love to gather around new and old friends for a visit while enjoying tasty tidbits, nibbles or bubbly AND discussing jewelry. These are so many of my favorites. Oh yes, the holidays do soften me up around the edges. Thank you to everyone who visited and supported me!

I also completed two custom orders, of late, and the new owners were very pleased. Custom work is such a treat and it does test me when pushing my skills to the next level. Thanks Kate, you are kind and I miss you. The other custom pieces I will just show you the back of, below, as to not blow the cover on the gig. I am thrilled how these pieces turned out, so when the gig is up, I will show you the fronts of the suprise rings! These pieces have been in the works for more than a month and having them finished is creating a 3 day feeling of elation. I am really thrilled with my craftswomanship and am in awe of just the weight of the pieces.

The Christmas Tree is up, the pressure is off of me for metalshithing, and I could't be more tickled pink that things feel to be slowing a bit. It maybe just for a day, but that would be nice. We have been excessively busy since mid November. With our travelling mostly done, I am happy to be home for the holidays.

Be well,

xoxox Bizzle Fo Shizzle
