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 …
Oh my gosh – I hope so … DH and Rotunda have been on an adventure all week, with Ro getting her progesterone level tested . Today, Ro met her man – Bodacious. So, if all is successful, we’ll be having some RoBo babies!!! GAAHHH! [Fingers Crossed!) Meanwhile, I’ve been pup-sitting and keeping our clan warm …
Our Xena had her babies on Sunday – four beautiful pups joined our crew. Here’s a quick pic John sent me while I was at work. [Better photos to come …] And, DH turned another year older this week. So, we started the week with Bean & Bacon soup – made with ham hock broth, …
That’s how my week felt, creatively speaking. I struggled with card making, but finally got a miserly-few made. I stamped these pretty layered dahlias. And then had no clue how to pull the backgrounds together. I’m not a huge fan of patterned paper, but I was eventually able to decide on four. I did …
Cuz that’s how we move forward! But first … Look at this! Aunt Piggy and Uncle Clyde ‘lording’ over the Neo babies … Too Cute! And back to baby steps: We got the new shelving unit up – and full. I like it. Sure, I’d like it bigger, BUT … I have my lesser-used (coe96 …
But – I work 12 night weekends, AND we’re celebrating with the extended family on Christmas Eve. [Yes, on Monday – after I get home from work …] So, this girl has got to get BUSY!!! Thank goodness for internet shopping. Everything I didn’t make has been delivered safely to our house. [BTW – thank …
Tubby’s babies are growing, growing and GROWING! Here’s a quick photo of a couple of her boys … Look who’s peeking! I’m still scratching out time to work in the studio – keeping stock up, filling orders, uploading shop listings: And, I’m still knitting … Only one pair done this week (so 2 more …
Here at Clayton Hill. It’s all good, I wouldn’t have it any other way! Tubby had her babies – 7 beautiful, healthy, fat pups joined our gang on Saturday. DH and I are smoothing out the process of providing 24/7 pup-watch coverage for mom and babies, while still getting chores and jobs done. As it’s …
We had our first snowfall this week (a semi-sticking kind, anyway). I love snow (from inside a heated space!)! So pretty … I’ve been keeping a couple of kilns busy for the last few days. We’re keeping up with ornaments, one mini load at a time (which somehow makes it easier for me) … I …
