First off, the surgery went great and I am at home resting and recovering.
It has been a rough few days, but at least the worst seems to be over.
I am already back at work, partly because I am stir crazy, and partly because I am a glutton for punishment. I even ventured out with a chauffeur, and picked up more supplies.
Also a heads up guys, I have finally figured out Pintrest (LilyAshes Emporium) AND Instagram (lilyashes_emporium)!!!!!
Check out some behind the scenes photos!
Thank you, to everyone, for all the well wishes and support!

Been away for a while
Its been almost a year since I was on Deviant Art. Things have changed immensely in my general situation. I still crochet, and do love it, but I am also getting back into novels as Victoria Asher. I am in a vocational medical school here in New Mexico, and doing well on my path to become an MA and move into a better living situation. I left my husband some time ago, back in July. Since then I have been trying to stand on my own two feet, having a part time job at the VA hospital and going to school. I've made some new friends, lost others, have a fantastic boyfriend who respects me and is proud of the progress I am making. I do miss my fur babies, but they will come back soon. I just need to graduate this Medical class and finalize my medical assistant training before I can move into better housing and get a well paid full time job that is less stressful. I am looking forward to renting a house and having my cats and dogs come back. This has been a good path for me. I have
New State, New Life
Nine years a deviant in March. It's been a long journey. My crafts have always reflected my personality even when I didn't realize it. Floating from one delight to another, always looking for sensory input along the way, never realizing I was ADHD/Autistic until I was 38 years old. In truth, that was about a month ago. And what, you may ask, brought on this sudden realization? Six months ago, my husband and I decided we had enough of Texas. We packed up and moved to our new home in August of 2021. It was absolutely, hands down, the best move of our life. Our children are in good schools, my husband is happier being very close to more of his family, and for shit's sake people would at least wear masks when mandated. What have I been doing since I disappeared a few years ago? 1) Getting back to writing and getting my books printed. I have 2 completed novels ready to be uploaded, Dragon Born, and A Dangerous Legacy. I started writing under the penname Victoria Asher
Expectations of the New Year
I don't post these often, but usually once or twice a year I come on and try to update anyone who desires to read or follow my work. I have given up tsumami kanzashi art. While they are very pretty and are fun to make, they do not sell. They do not handle storage and I can not keep a satisfactory product in store. Not to mention I had my own .com for over a year that sucked all my money away and I never made a single sale. So no kanzashi coming up. Ever. Well, maybe not ever, but not this year for sure. I AM doing a lot more drawn art, Japanese silk embroidery, and Oriental (Chinese and Japanese) brush painting with watercolors. SO look for that in the future. I am trying to learn more traditional art to draw out my embroidery designs. I have a real love of the POP surrealism movement, my designs were always of that nature before I gave up painting in my 20's. (Having kids running around will do that sometimes) But i want to get back into more of that, not for
Updates 8/2018
Apparently I haven't done one of these in over a year, so I guess it's time considering how much everything has changed.
The new http://www.lilyashes.com website is up and functional. I finally have the shop menus laid out appropriately and most of the inventory is in. I still have to add the holiday ornaments for this year but that's no problem. I am working all kinds of new inventory like Large Lolita bows and hand stitched embroidery in Japanese themes. The blog can be found on there as well, and I am starting to work my own tutorials on how to make tsumami zaiku pieces.
I haven't been able to focus on my shop much in the past year, b
