Here's a sneak preview of a new project I'm working on for Valentine's Day. These hearts and roses will be combined with piano pieces to make something I hope you'll fall in love with.

I'm super excited about my latest thrift store find! I took a Before pic but accidentally deleted it. Suffice to say this bambino (made in Italy) was crying out for a fresh coat of paint. Now it matches my workshop beautifully, don't you think? It's super comfortable to sit on, and just the right height for the counter.

Black Friday is coming. Support small businesses and crafters by shopping for one-of-a-kind gifts for your loved ones this season.

It seems as though these key extensions are just the right size to remind us of an important truth. I'll be making more of these to sell, but this batch went to my Campus Kids.

Something new and playful from the piano art studio... Hangman. The four-piece wippen/sticker assembly was my inspiration. I'd never seen one like it before. And I already had letter tiles, so they went to a brand new use.

What do these two things have in common? They both sold this weekend, and tomorrow morning they'll be on their way to their new home. "Evening Song" is sold out for now, but you can find your own "Merry & Bright" plaque at my Etsy shop, Encore Old Pianos. It's made entirely from piano pieces: from the copper string, to the upright piano hammers, and even to the wood it's mounted on.

Today we disassembled my 25th, and final, piano. Lord willing, I'll still be doing piano art for some time to come, but I'm not accepting any more pianos. Many thanks to my sister Anita for this one, and to all who before her also entrusted your broken instruments to me.

Duke sure makes my new workshop look fabulous.

This is what I do at the end of a disassembly session. It's where a lot of my ideas come from. And it's so relaxing.
