So, I’m trying to embrace all things I’m supposed to be embracing. Meanwhile, dark, depressive thoughts keep springing up. I AM OKAY! I’m just trying to figure some sh*t out. I am Ukrainian by birth. Muchly disregarded by the birth mother, but I always felt that pull! However, at this time – it is not …
It turns out Babs is really (Mr.) Bugs – and our Miss Thumper has had babies! OMGosh – how fun! Here’s a quick pic of Mom and baby bunnies. I’ve made a few cards, and I’m having a good time getting back into studio work. We’ve also been playing with pottery. Here …
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.

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 …

Got through my birthday, Thanksgiving, figuring our pottery kiln problem, annual work competencies … And here I …
But – only time will tell … On Thursday, or was it Friday(?) of my vacation days … DH loaded me into the car – in the wee hours of the early AM, drove me up to Algonac, and arranged to have my shoulder SHOT full of [POISON] … Umm, health-saving Covid vaccine! Two weeks …

Lots to share! (Yep, the picture post I talked about…) I’m so excited. Our garden is producing: Oh Summer, I love you!!! We have Cornish chickens (meat chickens) … So, hear me out. I researched and grew into this phase, FOR A WHILE – on my OWN. One …
