Hi all! I had such a great time in Minneapolis watching my son graduate as well as spending a few days with my family. Wish I could have found time to touch bases with my dog and jewelry friends but time flew by SO FAST!!
Here are a couple pix of the happy grad and my moms new garden bed that I spent a few days overhauling and redesigning. Pretty much the only plants in the bed that stayed where they were are the ferns…the rest I dug from all over the yard and we bought a few more too. 20 bags of mulch later and voila!! Instant garden!
Now its time to get back to the glass……I’m spilling over with ideas and so happy to get to work again.

My name is Sandra Miller, and art is at the heart of everything I do. I create from my studio in beautiful Portland, Oregon, where life is shared with my husband Steve and our charming “Dog in the Kitchen,” Ihana—my constant muse and taste-tester behind the scenes of this creative journey.
Through my artwork and the Dog in the Kitchen project, I love blending creativity, storytelling, and a touch of everyday magic.
