Click, click, click … go my kilns (happy sigh – ) ALONG with the other 886 COUNTDOWNS ticking away. Deep breath! Review (since my last post): 1) We have babies! Momma Iz finally got serious Friday night, and we have 7 new Neo babies in the house (DH has the photos, and I’m so far …
I’d say Happy Turkey Day … but we had ham. Was my youngest daughter a little bummed? Maybe … But – since she didn’t move her lazy-butt off the couch all doggone day … I’m not impressed by her vote. And, while I embrace our house-full-of-hormones with sarcasm, I am thankful for my family … …
Come on out tonight and start your holiday shopping. It’s “Ladies Night Out” at Muir Middle School in Milford. I’ll be there, peddlin’ my wares from 6-9pm. You can see, first hand how well I displayed 5 tubs worth of my glass work on one 8 foot table … or NOT! I’ll have lots of …

I’m also making more ornaments – because, it …
Oh my! Put in a full day at DTW yesterday (13 hours) … thank you central scheduling! But, we now have extended family in WA, VA, MO, NC and TX (as well as OH, IN, WI NY and MI). All the pups did great! We have one last pup here to play with (Stella), before …
I’ve been playing a bit in the studio, and doing a wee bit of shopping. Someone has copper enameling equipment coming. [Shhhh – don’t tell DH!] And, a few new molds and glass from my favorite glass shop. Maybe I have some stands from NC on the way. Oh – and possibly a couple bails …
So, I’ve had 3 kilns running for the last few days. My experiments were … interesting and frustrating, but have potential … maybe. I also have a few other ideas to try. And, I have some sweet dichro (jewelry) pieces almost ready for listing: My ‘Christmas run’ is promising. And, I’m cooking the …
