Annie!

Friday, May 16th, 2008

We have a new addition to our family - Annie! We recently lost our Rottie to cancer and firmly said “no more dogs”. So, now, we have a new dog. I just told Chris last night that our family would be a great reality show - we definitely know how to keep life interesting. Especially that Chris lives in Raleigh primarily and I’m in Wisconsin primarily - with lots of trips across the country. BUT, one look at Annie, and we were in love. I mean, did you SEE that FACE?! How could we resist? Welcome to our crazy mixed up family Annie!

I LOVE a challenge

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

I received an email wondering if I would be up for creating something custom for a kitchen island consisting of 18 feet (yes, I said 18 FEET) of stunning granite. I was thrilled with the challenge and couldn’t wait to get started. Together, the customer and I kicked around some ideas, and in the end - the biggest tabletop piece to ever leave the shop! About 4′ long, over 12″ tall, and roughly 16″ wide. It was truly gorgeous and is now on it’s way to it’s new home in New York. Thanks for the opportunity Kim! I hope you love it as much in person!

This may not be as exciting to you as it is to me, but woohoo - look at all this great packaging material I scooped up from the local industrial park!
