The Adventure Begins
Hello and welcome to my blog! I hope you find inspiration here and time to just relax from a busy day. I'd like to take a few moments of your time to tell you a little about myself.
I am married to my best friend, have 3 children, 2 grandchildren, and one on the way. I am an elementary teacher. This year I am teaching 4th & 5th grade Math. Love it! You would think all of that would be enough to keep me busy. LOL I decided several years ago I needed an outlet for my creative energy so I became a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and began designing cards. About six years ago I began designing jewelry. I also create junk/treasure journals, which is a new endeavor and I am having a blast learning and doing new things!
Your pieces are beautiful. You name suits you well! Looking forward to reading and seeing more!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the love. :)
DeleteLove the Enchanted Forrest theme! I am glad that you found a creative outlet to balance the teaching. I know that it is a very stressful job. Cant wait to see what you make :)
ReplyDeleteIt is stressful, but I do love it. :)
DeleteEnjoy your new adventure! Looking forward to seeing more of your lovely jewelry and your new line. Ingrid
ReplyDeleteClare, very nicely done and you are well on your way! I am so happy to have you in class and I hope your journey there will open all sorts of new doors and windows for you! XOXO
ReplyDeleteIt is so great to be able to be in the class and learning new things. I know that this will be awesome!

ReplyDeleteLoved visiting your blog. This is a great place to knock out those BALC designs. Looking forward to seeing it blossom.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were a teacher; that is a demanding but rewarding profession! The peek into your workspace is fun...I love your setup! It's very organized! Your work has a touch of fantasy to it, I'm sure your line will be lovely!
ReplyDeleteClare, great blog post. Your pieces are beautiful. Looking forward to seeing your creations in your new line.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post. I look forward to seeing you develop your line. The cuff on your post is really neat, it reminds me a little of an Edwardian design.

ReplyDeleteGreat post, Clare, and your studio is fantastic! You're another cat person too. ;) Your theme is a great one, and I can't wait to see what you create. So nice to be in class with you!
ReplyDeleteThe Enchanted Forest...sounds so magical. I am looking forward to seeing your beautiful creations
ReplyDeleteI like the theme you have chosen, looking forward to seeing it! Also, you have an awesome studio. I wish my husband could stain and hang cabinets... oh well, I love him just the same! lol

ReplyDeleteLove your studio and jewelry designs. Looking forward to seeing your new line of jewelry. I took the class last year and it was a great experience.
ReplyDeleteNice studio and love you completed items.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us Clare! I'm glad I got a chance to learn a little bit about you.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see so many studios shared by everyone in this blog hop! Yours has very lovely storage space :D I'm in the middle of a renovation on my studio and I am doing all the work myself ( I'm sort of kind of a control freak when it comes to building stuff). I've been working on mine since October – it will be done eventually… I hope haha.
I like the elements you have chosen for your line so far. What can I say, I'm a sucker for Butterflies and fiber – Sari ribbon is so lovely.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Can't wait to see your finished line! I had to get rid of all my stamping supplies when the jewelry making stuff took over! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove your theme, it is pretty and feminine.
ReplyDeleteHi Clare, Love your theme, can't wait to see your finished pieces. It has been a pleasure sharing this class with you and I'm certain I'll learn somethings from you too.
ReplyDeleteI love this theme can't wait so see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteLove your style and theme. Can't wait to see what you make. Also, I love your workspace!
ReplyDeleteHi Clare. . .love the raw textured look of your pieces. Very romantic! An Enchanted forest. . .if you find a real one. . .send directions would ya? Excited to see the outcome of this!
ReplyDeleteLove your work area!! I was an elementary school teacher and found various types of crafting were a healthy diversion from stress and achieving life balance. Looking forward to seeing your creations.
ReplyDeleteClare, love your theme of the enchanted forest collection. All sorts of fun things you could create there! Right up my alley!
