Flop, but it’s ok …

It’s all valuable learning … I continue to putter and play with recycled bottle pieces … The vase experiment was a total flop.  Oops – totally wrong temperatures.  I’m giving up trying that again (for now) as I think it’s a lost cause due to the nature of glass in a kiln (wanting to be 1/4 …

Experiment Central …

I apologize for the poorly connected, flight-of-ideas-style of my last post.  Apparently writing (and proofing) while medicated isn’t the best idea … My kilns have been busy (thus, me too) with experiments.  Some with promise, others – not so much.  But let’s show them off anyway … One of my books (by Boyce Lundstrom) shows …

Back to “Rollin’ in the Deep …”

Oh yeah, it’s TOTALLY an Adele song … but it’s what I’m doin’.   My kilns (count them – TWO!) are BOTH running.  DH is sleeping, I’m wide awake … It’s what I’m USED to … My little Yogi-Bear is going to the vet later today, as he’s scratching at his ears.  Not normal, and must be …

Adele + Chinese Food = Good Medicine

Have spent the past week slowly trying to work through a huge family mess (BTW – have I cursed the Evil Biologic recently?  Yes? … Okay, well, here’s another  – %@#^*!!!) … Thus, not much going on in the studio.  Had it not been for a glass order, I may have avoided it all week.  (And …

Speed Bump = Clean Studio + Adele

So a fairly substantial life ‘speed-bump’ has altered my previous MINE-MINE-MINE studio plans … Damn Evil-Biologic and her inability to act like a responsible adult anyway …  So – feeling less than creative, I’ve spent time cleaning the studio and rockin’ with Adele (with a few of the Neo’s howling in the background to join …

Uncle!! …

We’re making slow but steady progress.  The problem (outside of the fact that neither one of us wants to be doing this) is that our appointment is just a few days away … While I enjoy all of the small businesses DH and I ‘run’ – I’m not loving this task!!  Time to buckle down …

I’m in love …

With my husband (of course).  BUT – if DH were to dissolve our marriage tomorrow, I would throw myself at save myself for … Manu Bennett.  The problem (besides the fact that he doesn’t know me) is that he’s in New Zealand and I’m here … But, I happen to know someone (who knows someone) …

Still recuperating … but eating helps (?)

I work nights.  I do this INTENTIONALLY, as I am –apparently– a vampire.  (I’d say the non-blood kind – but my patients [whose blood I take by-the-vials] would probably disagree …)  I am ALLERGIC to mornings.  So, my week has been messed up since I got a SANE call only minutes (about 120 of them) …

The needles are hot – the studio is warm …

Overall, it’s a pretty cool place to be right now … The weekend is over(!), and while no one in my ‘lil ER had to endure green vomit on St Patty’s day – there were some interesting intoxicants.  I, however, was in the heart ‘wing’ – ruling out one MI after another … I finished …

Just say NO!

… to GREEN VOMIT!  Seriously – if you love an ER nurse (or have any RESPECT at all – and you REALLY SHOULD, as we have access to all sorts of sharp objects, good drugs, and tubes for every orifice …) you will be a responsible leprechaun this weekend.  Do not drink and drive, and for …
