Our bulldog puppies: Patchouli, Bergamot, Lil Wayne and Claudia … awwww! They are 3 weeks old and too stinkin’ cute! They play and wrestle with each other and are realizing there is more going on outside of their (pool) box. We closed our garden down and pulled our last vegetables, herbs and flower harvest. I …
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 …
