Last three days have been all about moving the studio into its incredible new home — equal parts chaos, dust, and excitement.
That said… would I recommend doing this immediately after the working so incredibly hard at Vegas Glass Craft & Bead Expo? Absolutely not. I’m fairly certain that combination qualifies as an extreme sport.
Still, we made it — and this new space is going to be something special. Stay tuned ✨

Day 3 and the magic keeps building ✨
Stepped into the Sphere for The Wizard of Oz — and wow… completely immersive, like being dropped right into another world. The visuals, the sound, the whole experience was next level.
After that, we treated ourselves to the Wynn buffet (because balance 😌) — and of course it did not disappoint.
Wrapped up the night with Laurie and Cindi giving us a masterclass on how it’s done at the slot machines 🎰 let’s just say… we were taking notes.
Vegas is still going strong and we’re loving every minute 💫
Evening of Day 2 and Vegas did not hold back ✨
Headed out to Superfrico for an amazing dinner and show with Laurie and Cindi — and what a night it turned into. The energy, the performances, the whole experience was just over the top in the best way.
Let’s just say… the highlights definitely included the very impressive male performer physique 💪🔥 and the unforgettable drag cow stripper that had us laughing and cheering.
Absolute blast of a night — Vegas is delivering on every level 🎭🎰
Day 2 and we’re keeping the momentum going ⚡️
Spent the day exploring Area15 — part playground, part art exhibit, part “what did I just walk into?” in the best way possible. Every corner is something new… immersive rooms, surreal visuals, and just enough weird to keep it interesting.
And yes… we even tried axe throwing 🪓 — because why not? A little unexpected, a lot of fun, and definitely added to the adventure.
Vegas really knows how to blur the line between reality and imagination — and I’m here for it 🎨✨
Day one, taking it into the night 🌙✨
Tripping down Fremont Street — the lights, the sounds, the energy… it’s a full sensory overload in the best way. Street performers, music everywhere, and people from all walks of life just soaking it all in.
There’s something about old Vegas that hits different. We’re fully immersed and loving every second of it 🎰
Kicking off our Vegas adventures 2026 the right way ✨
Started the day with a little R&R and a classic breakfast at the Peppermill (because you can’t come to Vegas and not 😌), then dove straight into some incredible experiences — Infinity Museum and the Arte Museum absolutely did not disappoint. Immersive, creative, and just the kind of inspiration I love.
Not a bad start to this trip… and we’re just getting started 🎲🌵
There’s a building in Kraljevica I pass almost every time I’m by the sea. It’s been quietly giving itself back to the elements for years now—peeling, crumbling, softening at the edges.
The location is almost impossibly beautiful, the kind of place people would dream of restoring. But there’s something about it as it is… the layers of color, the weathered textures, the way salt, wind, and time have collaborated on its surface.
It feels less like decay and more like a slow transformation. I never walk past without stopping to look.
