About

Jennie Shiley, Omaha, NE

Sole proprietor.  Work from my home.  I retired. I started making stepping stones.  They turned out to be too heavy. I did a few mosaic stepping stones but they took many hours to complete, still heavy and not cost efficient.  I switched to leaves after seeing some YouTube demonstrations.  Leaves still proved problematic.  I had no leaves.  My story is that I stole them from my neighbors under the cover of darkness.  Actually my neighbors have been very generous and since then I have planted Rhubarb, Elephant Ear, and Squash.  But since they are also made from cement, they're heavy too.  I have a little production room and paint area in the basement. Cement comes in 60 pound bags and I have to split it up into several buckets to get it out of the car and into the basement.
The wreaths are a little simpler.  I saw some at a craft fair my first year and wanted one.  Since the one I liked cost more than I made at that fair I decided to made my own. Again, YouTube to my rescue.  I can watch YouTube for hours.
By now you know I live a pretty quiet life and I like it that way.
