I just ‘attended’* another glass class … A new technique – and now the ideas are flowing! It’s not my fault … DH gave me the ‘go ahead’ – so that makes it more his fault than mine, don’t’cha think? Just a FEW supplies needed … I may get my studio addition AND a glass …
Brings about the end of another week … but a good week. A few things from the studio: New slumped bottle, “Cocktail”; more boiled blanks – I’m still working out the tweaks, but I like them, while slowly building up to a load (for the coffin) of [eventual] bowls and what not; and I tried my …
And now, we can close the books on Christmas 2012. It was touch and go there for a bit, as DH and I were struggling to get to the bottom of the punch list, while enlisting the aid of our ALL-TOO-EAGER teenage offspring. But we made it, had a fun family evening and my Martha …
WWU: I love this* … it so appeals to the sarcastic me. Oh how I wish we could implement it at work. I’m including a copy from the internet, as I don’t know who to credit for this brilliance! (I saw a printed copy being passed around at work … if you know – please …
As I drove to work this past weekend and finally laid eyes on the very low in the sky VERY FULL moon, I found myself repeating ‘Crap … Crap … SHOOT!’ on the whole drive in … Where the full moon weekend, along with crazy weather, made it’s presence known. Fractured minds was the focus. From …
Happy Birthday to DH! And to celebrate his special day … we’re painting the living room. Two tons of fun, let me tell you. But we’ll be having Christmas (with my dad) here in just a little bit, so we’ve got to get busy! Good thing I love a challenge. Speaking of challenges – with …
Playing with frit again. Here’s a tweaked picture of my Maggie Rose – from a few years ago, before she got chubby. [The poor girl has so many nicknames: Mags, Peanut, Fat-Butt, Magnolia Rosebud … she comes to all of them – especially when food is involved.] Anyway, here’s my glass rendition … fusing in …
WWU: Oh how I wish we could get through this flu season already! I took care of some folks this weekend who were producing … um … ‘body fluids’ in so many WRONG colors and shades (and we won’t even mention the textures or aromas!) … And now, it would appear various strains are spreading …
It’s not that I didn’t do ANYTHING this week. I did. I cleaned out my ‘shipping room’ … so DH could build a new, much needed shelf on the right wall … some place for all of those (new) boxes to go: And while the rest of my studio is in desperate need of …
I’m so excited. We have spent the last 10 days without our (clothes) dryer. Some electronic part shorted out, and try as he did, DH couldn’t fix it. To and from the repair shop it went … THREE TIMES! It’s back today, AND FULLY OPERATIONAL! This means – my loving Fred Sanford (DH) can remove the …
