Vintage Mom Creations

It’s so hard for me to believe that 4 whole years have gone by.. My baby Isabel will be four next Monday.. she’s really not a baby anymore.

To me I suppose she’ll always be my baby, it’s just part of being a mommy. This year should be an exciting one for her. In the fall she’ll start preschool. She’ll be meeting new friends, new teachers and going on to do great things. It will be incredibly hard on me.. more so than ever before. I didn’t have this problem with the other kids.. the worries, the heartache. I knew instinctively that they could defend themselves.. or at least be able to tell me if someone was hurting them. With Isabel it may be a little harder. She is getting much better at communicating. She can tell me if she hurts, she can tell me her name .. so off to preschool she’ll go.

Look at my big girl now..

I have been absolutely awful at updating this page.. SO, maybe each day I’ll pick a subject first thing in the morning and write about it.. maybe that will inspire me to get back to blogging.

I’ve been very involved with getting things ready for our tribe meetings. I am a Cherokee Woman living in Ohio. I’m involved with a local tribe. ( An educational group) We as a people gather and share. We are attempting to learn our heritage. For example- we as a people do things as historically accurate as possible. Some of our women have chosen to create tear dresses, some t dresses. In ending.. it’s a learning process, a teaching process. It does keep me busy. It’s something that is very important to me because if you don’t take the time to remember your ancestor’s.. you are turning your back on them.. in my opinion. Honor them.. and let the traditions not be lost..

It’s sure different, but certainly beautiful..

Things have been so busy lately in my personal and tribal life that my jewelry life in the sales world has taken a huge backseat. Never fear.. I haven’t given up my artistry…. on the contrary I’ve just been sharing it with a different group…… another piece of my life. Things are not for sale at this point in the game. Things are in transition.

Life.. in transition. Ah… wonderful growth..

Isabel will be three this weekend!

And growth isn’t always easy is it? Change and growth and blooming… but look forward to the results friends. I’m shedding the old and blooming. I can’t wait to show you.

Much Love,

You will see things haven’t been updated in awhile.. the shops are empty.. Where is Vintage MOM??
I’m taking a break, a much needed one. I’m not gone but, my focus needs to be on my family, my tribe.
I’ve been named Panther Clan mother and have many activities coming up.. it’s time the focus is here for now.
Possibly jewelry will be rolling in by fall, certainly by Christmas.. but for now?? I’m prepping for our Green Corn Ceremony and my jewelry creations will be on a trading blanket!
Thank you for your patience!
