A New Year...

What is the first thing you do every new year?  I usually make a lot of big plans :) and start by cleaning up my studio.  Here are some pictures from my little oasis.

 

I just love those little dishes I got at the WorldMarket.  They hold all the little pieces and gems I am currently working with.

 

The view from my work bench makes me feel like a child in a tree house.  There is a squirrel that lives right outside this window on a branch and every morning he comes back with breakfast.  I just wish I could train him to bring me coffee :)

 

A picture of Lina and me on her first birthday.

 

 

And there is Ruby the new Susi D. Jewelry mascot, watching over me while I work.
