I’m still a knitting-maniac while I wait not-so-patiently to be feeling better. Here are my latest quick-knit projects. And, I tried my hand at chainmaille (jewelry style, of course) … I like it. So, I’ve been surfing for much needed supplies and equipment (cuz I have too much time on my hands)! I’m …
Lost heat out in the studio. Darn too-small propane tank anyway! I’ve talked to DH about getting a real (house sized) one out there … maybe now is the time. It’s a balmy 44 degrees in there right now. Without water (drained the pipes in preparation for Snowmageddon). Of course! I have 3 custom orders …
Pretty cool! And – I’m in my studio, with my insomnia being soothed by the rhythmic sound of snoring studio-pooches (Maggie and Kat) while the kilns click in the background. Doesn’t get much better … Spent some time with the plotter tonight … working through some additional ideas for recycled wine/liquor bottles (more to come, but – …
Have passed through another year of life … DH likes to say I’m catching up to him. ‘Course I point out he’ll always be OLDER! So far, it’s been [another] busy, productive week: Made candles; went to Metro; spent time catching up/celebrating with my family (phone, visit, phone, phone!); did a little home canine nursing …
Have spent a good amount of time learning the ins-and-outs of CorelDRAW, vectors, masks, more advanced photo-manipulation, filters … ‘til I thought my head might spin. But it’s all good. It’s ruminating around in there and I’ll eventually figure it all out. Here’s a lil picture I was playing with last night … IF I …
I LOVE MY STUDIO!!! I told DH ‘I’ll see you on Saturday’ … and I was only half-joking! My plotter has arrived, she’s installed and after 5 days of confusion, electronic and software grief … she’s up and running. I LOVE IT!!! I have days upon days of learning to do/knowledge/experience to acquire – but …
I apparently can’t help it and I don’t THINK there’s a med for it … I’m scoping out a new hobby and chomping at the bit! Since DH has put a temporary kibosh on the ‘L’ addition to the studio (so – no room for a potter’s wheel yet!) … I’ve found something interesting that’ll …
Here’s my glass clay experiment. Not sure what happened with the red hat, but Santa is solid … kinda neat. Might just need to play with clay again … Also played with ‘faux dichroic’ … not the instant success I strive for, but definitely worth playing with again … The babies (neo mastiff …
DH is out manning the tractor, cutting hay … The kids are in school, for a few more days before they wrap up another academic year – and Summer break begins … I can hear the bickering now. But for today, it’s just me and the dogs, as we sit, enjoying the sunshine, quiet and …
