Thank you everyone who came out for the Warrior Run Fort Freeland Heritage Society fundraiser stained glass workshops on Saturday! We made bells and stars, and everyone did a fantastic job.

Work on Saturday was demonstrating stained glass for STEAM Innovation Labs in the vendor market, and wandering the woods with my youngest magical creature. The event goes on Sunday as well - don’t miss it!

I’ll be demonstrating stained glass for STEAM Innovation Labs at The World of Fae this Saturday in Milton! Do not miss this awesome event- there is nothing like it in the Susquehanna River Valley!
Dress up not required - but I’m here to tell you it’s totally ok to be magical, and I will be wearing my wings! 🧚

Recently I’ve been asked a few times about what hangs in my windows. This is the kitchen - 3 generations worth of stained glass, upcycled creations and my Gram’s flower frog.

Upcycling and playing with patina… this authentically old rusty key would never match typical patina colors. After several rounds of antiquing I think it turned out pretty cute.
Come visit me STEAM Innovation Labs May 9 and make something with or for Mom, and
May 16 in Milton, where I’ll be demonstrating at the Vendor Market!

April 25, 2026: 5 years in PA.
Introducing Lumen to Artists & Artisans Co-Op Gallery, 229 Market St. during the Lewisburg Arts Festival. Last year I got to be a vendor for this esteemed tradition, and this year we got to really see it again. Great work as always, Team !

On this same day in our previous home town Troutdale, Oregon, the is taking place, with another group of highly creative hard working folks, and my first co-op … (forever in my heart!)

Looking forward to the photos!

Well, it’s been a wild year hasn’t it? I’m just going to focus on the good stuff here, for the sake of sanity.
This year, along with being married 20 years (how old am I?!) I had some great milestones:

20 years in the glass trade,
10 years of Rain Shine Studio,
35 workshop sessions,
5 vendor shows, (including the prestigious Lewisburg Arts Festival, a juried fine art show and personal goal)
6 unique cabinet doors,
2 unique window panels,
Year 3 with the Rain Shine Shop in the
Year 2 with

And experienced some extraordinary moments of pride in my students as they soared past what I taught them to create their own work.

And that’s just glass…

I also gained an incredible position on the dream team with the where basically it’s my job to connect people with information, businesses, events, and opportunities.

I got to travel a bit - New York’s Wine Country, PA’s Pine Creek Gorge, and Portland Maine…

I got to reconnect with friends I haven’t seen for years, or states, or miles… and made some new ones!

We celebrated the birth and the expectation of the newest generation of family and friends..

And got to watch my incredible children grow another year. They are almost 8 & 10 now!!

I could make another list with all of the negative, and things that didn’t go right, but I’ll keep that to myself today.

This year I pushed myself hard, and while I didn’t get it all right, I’m really proud of what was accomplished.
Thank you all who have participated along the way!

Cheers to 2026!

The Rain Shine Shop got a fresh restock!
New beaded jewelry & accessories
by Ruth Anne of Miller’s Store Blackwell, handwoven work by Kathy of Persimmon Hill!

Also pleased to share that stained glass maker supplies are back in stock with a display upgrade! Thanks to whomever bought EVERYTHING - it’s been a bit of a test to see if there’s a desire for tools and supplies, and so far 2025 has told me “yes!”

Thanks for shopping local - it really means so much when you buy from a small business.

❤️
