Mosaic Classes in my Home Studio   Tickets are Now Available  https://simplymargot.ticketgoat.com/ A little over a year ago I was invited to teach mosaic classes at a cute shop in Spokane Valley called The Mulberry Market. It was quite the destination for folks wanting to experience a variety of classes. Sadly that store closed about a month ago. I taught 45 mosaic classes there and having recently gone thorough all my feed back sheets there were close to 500 people who attended my classes. Amazing for something that pretty much fell in my lap unexpectedly. Classes at Mulberry generally had about 20 people attending with two hours to complete a project. It was fast paced, fun and exciting. We loved our time there and all the people we got to meet and interact with. So thank you to Hanna and her wonderful staff.    Yikes but what next? My kids grew up and moved on and Ive taken over the whole upstairs of the house. It has been about 7 years ago that I brought my ...

 For almost 10 years I have been choosing a word or words to be my focus for the New Year. I'm not a big fan of resolutions because the seem to come with a lot of guilt when you realize you have not lived up to your intentions. I started choosing words while I was in ministry school at the Spokane International Healing Rooms. People always laugh and say "Don't ask God for patience"  Not that having more patience would not be a good things. As those who have asked God for patience can attest - God is not your fairy Godmother who waves a magic wand and poof now you are patient. No, God will answer your prayer by giving you ample opportunities to practice and grow in patience. I find this is true of any word you choose. To ask for wisdom you open yourself up to opportunities to grow in wisdom. What I like about choosing a word or words for the year is they keep working in the background even when I am not particularly focusing on them. The opportunities for growth and to...

Chrysalis Gallery

I was so delighted to get a text from Denny at Chrysalis Gallery asking if I would have my art available there through the end of the year. I gathered up most of what I had on hand that wasn’t already on my new website (www.SimplyMargot.com). I wasn’t sure how much he was going to want but he said he’d take it all.  Here’s some photos. He did a great job displaying it all. Stop by and shop local! My Hearts - Birds & Dragonflies FUSED Glass Earrings and Pendants Framed Mosaic Heartd Cards, Mosaics and Jewelry Sets
