I keep going back and forth with this creative rut. I need to do a MAJOR deep clean in the studio, and I’m not looking forward to it. But it has to happen, so … Next week! In the meantime, DH and I have played with some hot weather desserts. We tried some homemade (no …
Or trying to … I haven’t been making much, but I’m starting to get a bit of the mojo back. Last week, DH and I went to one of our old stomping grounds (bar/restaurant) to meet up with work friends. We had a good time, and I made a card for a dear friend (who …
We got thru tax season 2019. It was a painful week, but we beat the deadline. We did ‘OK’ this year – we felt the tax law changes, but came out ‘winning’ … For whatever reason, this year’s tax prep was UNBELEVIABLY painful. I never wanted to miss a deadline as badly! So, it’s Friday …
I spent the better part of the week bringing the spoon rests thru to their final slump. All but three. This other one had air bubbles I didn’t like, so it’s in the baby kiln for a flip and fire, along with some murrini nibs. I hope to use the nibs (otherwise ‘useless’) in an …

I think we are finally getting well (no more URI-crud) and moving in the right direction, creativity-wise. I’ve moved my fun and colorful spoon rests along. I have two more (coffin kiln) loads to go – but here’s the first batch. These will need to go back into the kiln, another trip to the saw …
I’ve been working on these blanks, to eventually make a custom-request spoon rest … By the time I’m done, I’ll have a whole coffin-kiln load to flatten – and then I’ll have a whole lotta spoon rests (to cut), in what I hope are fun and unique color combinations. I’ve got a blank cooking in …
It must be the time of year – DH and I are SUPPOSED to be in Paradise right about now …Unfortunately we won’t be getting away this year. And, my ‘glassy mojo’ is (apparently) on vacation. So, creatively, it’s slow-going. My card making seems to be moving along. I made a few cards last week, …
I slept a lot this week. I think I’m trying to keep the CRUD I’m exposed to every weekend at bay with loads of sleep through the week … Maybe??? Anyway – I slept a bunch. And kept cooking to a minimum with Spinach Artichoke Ravioli and a crockpot full of Golumpki, with bushels of …
