Zepher Update

By now you may all know that my boyfriend and I have adopted a puppy and named her Zepher. We were told that she was going to be a Sheppard/Lab mix, however we think that she is some kind of Hound dog. Zepher is 7 months old now, still trips over her large paws, and weighs in at 50 lbs this week. But since she is still a puppy she's only going to get larger. After a battle of not wanting to have the dog sleep on the bed with us, this is what we found...


She isn't exactly sleeping on the bed with us but she does get up on the bed when we aren't looking. My boyfriend said, "We're going to loose this battle so we mise well give in". The next morning I find him in bed with the dog cuddled up close with her head resting on his chest.

Where I've Been Hiding

It's been too long since I've last posted on this blog. Sorry! Summer is a great time to get inspired again with the sun shining, the green grass, and the water so inviting on a hot sticky day. As many of you may know by now nature is one of my greatest inspirations to new creations. Here is where I've been hiding....


While on a walk with the dog, my boyfriend found this great little brooke. After being couped up inside the dog is let off the leash to run freely. Talk about a crazy dog!

Inspired by all this green and the movement of the dog and water, I've created these beautiful green garnet and sterling silver earrings. Sorry! These have been sold arleady. Just goes to show that nature is a great place to look for inspiration. I dont' think that these stayed in the shop for more than a week!

However, I have been working on other watches and earrings that are still available for sale. Come and see them at Malamoose Beadery. Just one of the many great shops on Etsy.com !

Meet Zepher

This is our new puppy Zepher. She's a 7 week old German Shepard mix that my boyfriend and I have adopted. This isn't her best photo, but it's only day one, and I'm sure there will be others. She's a handful romping around and chewing on anything that might not be her rope. Don't worry, I've hidden my shoes!

Meet Malamoose and Godiva

Meet Malamoose. This is my first blog entry, and I’m hoping you aren’t skipping out just yet. In the future you will find inspirational photographs, art, handcrafted items, and a lot of sweet little things. I enjoy drinking coffee and know if you are a designer, crafter, and/or person like myself, then you too have your cup within arms reach.

Meet Godiva. She is a lab/border collie mix that I’ve adopted. I remember going into the shop and looking at all the puppies and then seeing her sweet little face. At that moment I knew she was the one! She fit in the palm of my hand the day I took her home. Now Godiva weighs about 45lbs and can’t get enough of playing fetch, snoring in her sleep, and keeping me company.

I hope you enjoy checking back each week to see what Malamoose and Godiva have been up too.
