Our daughter Christen went into labor with our 4th grandchild Saturday morning, Aug 22. William John Kolberg was born at 8:20 a.m. He was 8 lbs 8 ozs. and 20 3/4 inches long and is a sweetheart!
Mom and baby are doing great! Will's big brother Grant loves to hold him as you can see by the picture.
We are so blessed to have another beautiful child in our family.
Home is in the Willamette Valley of Oregon on 5 acres with John my husband, our two dogs (a German Shepard and Schipperke) and my two horses.
I love animals and can't imagine my life without these beautiful creatures in it, and oh yeah, my husband too. We have two grown children, and four grandbabies!
I have always loved art, it kept my hands busy and made me feel creative.
On a TV program someone said "think back to what you liked to do as a child to help you find your bliss". I thought long and hard to what made me happy as a child. I remembered going into my dad's garage and taking wire to twist and shape into what I called "jewelry". Interesting! I then happened upon a chain maille class a local bead store. Wow, I was hooked after the first class. I then took a class in Art Clay and one in lampworking. It all seemed a natural progression to incorporate the lamp worked beads into my silver work. It is magical and meditating to wind molten glass on a mandrel, creating something beautiful from basically nothing and then transform that creation into a beautiful piece of jewelry. This is bliss!
