Texas Country Reporter News


Well, I finished my television interview last week. They were at my studio for 5 hours. The piece will air some time in October 2008.

What fun!! What a great team of guys. When they left, I literally passed out from exhaustion. Ironically, they left me, and headed towards west Texas where the skyline is full of wind towers. Earlier that day, when the discussion of wind towers were brought up, I started rambling off wind tower statistics. As I told them, being at Texas State Technical College West Texas for seven years, and being the college recruiter knowing all of those statistics is part of my job.

It was fun. I am afraid I will probably look like a complete dork, but I guess that is everyone's fear when being on television.

My Jewelry Studio


For those people who know me, I live on my families ranch in rural west Texas. My family has lived here for the past thirty years. I moved back to SA in 1999, and currently live in an old farm house built in the 1930's.

My house is a nice house, has a nice view, but it is small. We have a two bedroom, one bath. (AHHHHH!) When I started this new jewelry venture back in September I quickly started to consume what limited space I had. Within seven months I was consuming all rooms with my "jewelry supply stash".

I ordered a custom building 32x14 for my jewelry studio. It has a sweet little front porch. I had it moved into my backyard, easy access from the house. My studio doubles as a guest room/studio. With the help of my loving parents, I now have beautiful cabinets and bookshelves throughout my little building. I have had alot of people hoping this will be my "public shop". I am sorry to say that no, this is just my private little place to harness my creative juices and take it all out of some poor non-working watches.
