Our street after the big snow storm.  Madison got hit with 17″ !  It seems like the whole town was closed and we were snowed in for two days.

The downside about the event is it takes a long time to get the shop ready.  The weeks before are spent cleaning and moving things around since the whole working studio area, becomes a retail store.  In the end it’s worth it because everything looks so cozy and festive for the Holidays and people have a great experience.  Here are some pictures of the shop durning the Holidays.

Angels for St Jude’s…

This year I decided to something where I could give back and help a good cause.  What better than St Jude Children’s Research Hospital?  So I made little angel pins that people can buy and 100% of the proceeds will go to St Jude’s.  The little pins took forever to make between shaping, firing, glazing, and assembling!  Mom and Dad helped out a lot and in the end it was a pretty good success.  My goal was to raise $500 and we came close.  There are still pins left so if anyone wants to donate $20 to St Jude’s, let me know and I’ll ship you one!
