Muddy Waters Ceramic Creations

Preserve My Memories

I started selling on Etsy to fulfill my love of creating things. I have a particular focus on combining the hard and soft – nature photography or wood combined with sparkle, glitter, and held together with a lot of glue! For my Christmas shop this year, I have focused on centerpieces, snowflake wreaths, and ornaments.

My children inspire most of my designs, especially the glow in the dark wall decals.

Love Grows Everything

I have designed jewelry, furniture, apparel & accessories for the last 22 years for a Radical Company here in LA, and now all over the world. I now enjoy being on my own…and rediscovering myself in a whole new way! I love finding these ancient stones and I love the mystery of it all. I find the healing qualities of stones and seeing whose hands they fall into beautiful. My mantra is “I am Spirit, I am Free, I love God, and God Loves Me. Never was there a time I wasn’t, never will there be a time I won’t be. I am Spirit I am Free.”

That is how the heart and soul of Maiden Long Island was born.

CitySewist

Initially, I bought a sewing machine to hem my jeans and pants. I began sewing handbag patterns and signed up for several specialized online classes to learn more. From there I began experimenting with different patterns and fabric and learned many things along the way. I stumbled upon some special fabric meant to be colored using fabric markers and started creating Kids Color Me Messenger Bags.

If you are looking for a whimsical arty item for kids which can be personalized by them using fabric markers, come check out the CitySewist Etsy shop! The front & back of each messenger bag I sew has a different print. Some have Bling, others have a different strap or zipper color. Just iron or throw in the dryer to set the color after they are done coloring.

Wit & Wander

I have always liked design and had a passion for beautiful words, but I opened this shop so that I could stay at home with our daughter full time. It means the world to me to think that you would consider placing one of my designs in your home. Because I love what I do, I really feel like a piece of my heart is hanging on your walls with each sale. I am honored to be a part of your lives and it inspires me to think about the homes these prints will one day enter into. Outside of Wit & Wander, I love traveling, crafting, photography, and attempting to cook.
