Finally … Thank you – I needed that!

What a beautiful day!  And – I spent time in the studio.  Just doesn’t get much better than that!  While I still don’t have water (DH says it’s frozen somewhere in the ground … NOT great news) – I had fun in the studio! I spent some time at the saw, and have requested spoon …

Cabin Fever?

We have so many great things going on right now, and yet: We have puppies (and they’re so stinkin’ cute)!    And a houseful of mood swings/raging hormones – thanks to twin teenagers … I’m finally growing skin/healing! Yay!!!  And, it’s tax season …    I’ve made some new bracelets, learned new patterns!    And, …

Make-overs, additions and appointments … jeesh

The family room make over is done!  We splurged with super thick carpet and I absolutely love it!  And, ya know – it only took 10 years to get the fire place in there!  [Heavy sigh …] We have Yorkie babies too.  Three little ‘doberman mice’ joined our crew.  So far all are doing well, …

Grandma …

The good, the bad and the ugly …

What a week ….

But first – cuteness.  This is our Olivia and her daughter Tubitha (Tubby).  Awww … Now, my week.   Apparently, my grandmother decided at 89 years of age that she didn’t want her gallbladder anymore.  She was so insistent about not wanting it, that she started to go into septic shock.  The family phone lines have …

Too much learning … ???

Typically, I’d say there is no such thing, but … I think I pushed it too far today.  I’ve been perusing the ‘net, getting my fill of all things beading, chainmaille and jewelry, when I stumbled on this … Now, I know artists throughout history have been inclined to use just about anything as their …

Frustration …

with surgeons and teenage girls had me excessively busy with my hands this week – as I tried to keep my mouth quiet!  Special thanks to my dad, who let me vent about the surgeon.  If you’re not going to listen to your patient, why bother talking to them in the first place?!? … ‘Nough said! …
