But first … I made a few cards this week. And, I’ve got a few (hundred) more ideas rolling around. I did feed DH – my version of Eggroll-In-A-Bowl. He loves it. And, we made a small stock-pot amount … Leftover’s for the boys! This week-end we’ll be making a giant crock of (my) …
I’m taking this “NOT ADULTING” to a WHOLE new level… DH is cooking dinner – IF/WHEN he wants to eat; I haven’t done laundry … in a REALLY long time; I am stocking up on stamps and card making supplies – LIKE A BOSS(!!!); I’m keeping the sisters fed and happy. [Here’s Ro, soaking up …
Paradise was … well ~ PARADISE! A great sun-filled escape! We arrived back to find our homestead still standing, all two and four-legged family healthy. So, unpacked – but still sporting a bit of sunshine color, it’s time to get back into the grind. While I haven’t fired up my kilns yet, I do have …

Yep. Time for a bit of ‘distraction shopping’. I watched a few videos about copper enameling and PMC (precious metal clays) with glass … So, I’m stocking up on what I need, waiting for some items to arrive and scouring through my books. Hope to give this a try in the near future. Meanwhile, it …
I have lots of things going on in the studio. I received a bunch of silicon molds for F-N-F fun … Along with a few new stencils to play with … And, a ‘dirty pour’ kit from UGC. Time to bust out my kitchen torch … DH helped me change the stuck relay in my …
So, I managed to start the week off with an OUCHER!!! While some may think stitches were indicated, THIS nurse knows better! I still got my mega-load of spoon rests in the coffin kiln. And, more rainbow night lights in the works … No stopping me in the kitchen, either. Shrimp stir-fry is a …
