The dreaded taxes are done! Yay! So now, we can focus on the next job(s) … Our group project is refinishing the hardwood floors. MY NEXT project is finding and CLEANING this studio. I’m going to majorly shame myself and post a photo. It shows just how cluttered I’ve become. Gah! In between, I will …
We had our big snow storm. It produced, but nothing overly dramatic. The pups had fun romping through it, though. Meanwhile, we continue to play in the ceramic studio. DH made a Batman mug. It fired okay (with glazes), but we’ve definitely had some better pieces coming out of our kilns. And here is our …
So, today’s update is more about photo sharing – with a little of this and that thrown in … I’m creating in the glass studio again. I had a request for some rose night lights and spoon rests. And, I’m playing with an idea for these gnome ornaments and glass paints … we’ll see if …

And Finally a GOOD WEEK!!! I’ve been Missing In Action. I’m sorry for that. Crummy Viruses, Avoiding Adulting, Dealing WITH Deadlines, and ULTIMATELY – We Are Here! A few weeks ago, I spent some time (FORCEFULLY) visiting a lousy GI bug, but I beat it back and after 3 hard days – I won. Then …
I found my mojo this week! We are finally moving things along in the glass area of the studio. I’m working on an ornament request, but I’m moving spoon rests (no photo) and night lights along too! Yay! I also had to keep up with the Ladies this week, giving them another ‘pumpkin treat’, a …
So, we are cleaning out the garden … gathering up the last of the ‘bounty’ and putting things to bed. I am currently trying to dry sunflower seeds in my sunny studio window (where all the garden pre-starts began) … We emptied out our sweet potato barrels … not an amazing amount, but enough to …
My garden is winding down …. We do have a handful of beautiful sunflowers (standing amazingly proud and tall) in their 5 gallon buckets, as DH wouldn’t let me cut any holes in the black mat he so painstakingly installed this spring … We also have the sweet potatoes, some beets, winter squash and the …
