It seems there have been a few changes to these pages, which means a bit of a learning curve for me! 😅

Life has taken quite a few twists and turns—especially since the dreaded “panini”—and I’ve had so much keeping me busy outside of La Tzigane.

But lately, I’ve felt a renewed pull toward those tiny beads, though not in the same way as before.

This time, I’m embracing a slower, more intentional return to my craft—not focused on mass production, but on reconnecting with my why. I started beading to embrace creativity and indulge in the meditative rhythm of the process, something I had nearly forgotten in the chaos of the last decade.

So here I am, a little rusty, taking things slow… which, honestly, is exactly what I need.

So tell me, what have you been up to these past few years? I’d love to hear! 🥰

It’s been quite a while since I’ve been here.
So many changes in the last few years.
Just thought I’d drop by and say hello 👋🏼

Hello! Testing!
I had been unable to post directly from my page, probably because I’ve been on such a long hiatus 😅

Hi… it’s me.

I know I haven’t been on here much, so I thought I’d touch base.

I’ve been keeping myself busy with my body contouring business over at , and crocheting my little fingers off at , in preparation for the Handmade Market in November.

I’ve also been busy keeping my head above water mothering my children (J is 21 now, can you believe it?!), running the house - the kitchen of which is currently under a new round of renos, and has me rifling through numerous boxes just to find what I need 😣, and you know… general life 💩

I’m pretty much always tired AF, struggling with sudden perimenopause weight-gain, chronic insomnia, and just doing what I can 🤷🏻‍♀️

How YOU doin’?

It’s nice to get my hands busy with these tools again. It’s been a while 🙂

So used to showing the yarn side of my studio, I forget how pretty the bead wall side is.
Especially with my pretty Keshi smack dab in the middle 🥰
Now that we’re in the home stretch for the school year, I’m hoping my forced hiatus will be done, and that I’ll be spending a lot more time at my beading table - and more time to photograph and list the gorgeous items I’ve had sitting in boxes for… a while 😜

I know this past year has been challenging for a vast majority of us, but man oh man, it’s been an absolute struggle for me, in the sense that I was able to (Wo)man the Fort, and keep everyone alive… (MANY) meals were made, and the house is still standing… but without my creative outlets, and being ON 24/7, my mental health took a right beating.

I recently started a creative course, to get those juices flowing again, and a series of questions really got me down, because I suddenly could not find the answers. I felt like an empty shell, void of my past passions… where I used to feel like my mind was a blank canvas, it now was more like a barren field… and for a creative person like myself, that’s a horrible feeling.

But a few conversations with friends - can I get an 🙌🏼Amen🙌🏼 for beautiful supportive Friends? You know who you are, and I am SO so grateful for You! - have helped me the last couple of days.

They reminded me that I need to get back to myself, that I need to get back in touch with Nature. That “this too shall pass”, and I WILL get back to Me.
… and my creative side 🥰
I hope you are all well, and taking good care of yourselves ❤️

Would you share with me how you have kept your sanity, or how you plan on getting back to You?

Just came in from picking 6 cups’ worth of wild strawberries in 30 minutes.
My back hurts 😅👌🏼

It’s my own little patch I’ve been cultivating for a few years.
I’m impressed at how fast it’s grown, it’s easily 5 times what it was when it started. I’m hoping it just keeps spreading throughout my garden.

Thinking it might be 🥰
