While I wait for the verdict …

Tomorrow is my ortho appointment … Time to see if a 20 pound full-arm cast or surgery is my penalty for ‘refusing to heal’ … Personally, I’m hoping for curtain number 3 … ??? In the meantime – I’ve made a few new glass pieces:  Future pendants (above), a couple of tiles ready for the …

A bit of a set back- but moving forward …

So, I had my repeat xray last week.  Apparently, my fracture isn’t healing … Well that sucks!  I’ll see Ortho on Tuesday to figure out the next step … In the meantime – I’ve made a few spoon rests … Played (gently!) with the CowBell … Put together some component parts for a couple of …

Finally producing …

I’m a busy little bee today, finally getting projects moved along while starting a few more! Here are my ‘tie-dye paws’ – which will be 4-5 inch dishes once done.  Love them!!! And some of my sandblasted ornament/sun catchers.  (The wine has those freeze-n-fuse grapes from a few months ago; as the daughter of a …

Photographing …

Pictures of a few of our bracelets:       Now – off to bed before more ER nursing fun!

Cabbage-Fest …

Cabbage-fest has officially begun!  We cut into our Dutch Flathead this week.  Made the (Emeril) side dish – which I didn’t love, along with a huge pot of Smoked Sausage & Cabbage Soup – modified for my allergies … Which I do love!  We have enough whole frozen leaves AND a batch of chopped cabbage …

Studio fun …

We had a great time at Harvest Fest on Saturday.  Beautiful weather, great people and … while I have no pictures of me, I was smiling!  Here was our set-up this year:   I stumbled on a new (to me) kind of cabbage at one of the vendors … Flat Dutch Cabbage … It’s supposed …

Slump and a kick-start!

So, I’ve been quiet.  I usually don’t get that way for too long …. I was in a creative slump.  Apparently, I was feeling stressed.  But now, with ENPC (Emergency Nurse Pediatric Course) and a large chunk of of nursing competencies completed … I feel better.  The fact that I can say ‘see you next …

Listings, Sun Catchers and a Coffin-load

Slowly, but surely … I’m moving things along.  New penDot listings in our etsy shop Very slowly working my way up to a slump load/bowls in the coffin-kiln.  Just a few more projects to go … Played with some frit-bits, trying a different sun catcher – dragonfly style … And, we made some ocean-themed night …

Hibernating in July

So, the house is back in order, thank goodness!  Which should mean I’ve accomplished tons in the studio.  Sadly, it’s not true.  I spent the first three days this week convincing myself I did NOT have ER-acquired meningitis.  Turns out, if one burns the candle at both ends for too long, [my] body goes into …

Having a clean studio ROCKS!!!

I have three kilns running and more projects planned.  What a productive week … I worked on some jewelry, wrapping up a custom cab order.  Here’s a double dichro dragonfly pendant moving along (in the kiln now for a fire-polish) and a couple of penDot rings!   I have the coffin running with future spoon …
