Well YEAH – There’s that …

Yes!  My studio still needs cleaning, but … I have a whole mid-size kiln shelf of hot cabs just waiting for ‘GLAMOUR’ … So, you know – thank goodness I didn’t put all those frit jars away! But, wait – there’s more.  Today marks the last day of my biological two-legged children attending high school.  …

Frit play …

What once started as an ‘oops’ project is now being trialed intentionally … a bright peacock spoon rest: And platters: Snowmen, Bon Appetite and Pumpkin Patch … yep, it’s a Creative Paradise (molds) kind of day.  Fingers crossed that I set my program right! Update … Success:  Love ‘em!  Just waiting for the kiln to …

Still kickin’ …

While not quite healthy, I’m not dead either … so, I’m playing in the studio, as I mentally prepare for another fun-filled ER nurse weekend tour.  Sandblasting, earrings and kumi – oh my! We had a request for an etched wine bottle, and I had an idea (peace signs and wine names); It’s that time …

Ginger got her glass on …

Cheesy, I know … But – I’m happy!  I have all three kilns ROCKIN’ (Hummmm … Click … CLACK!!!)!  I’m getting some custom items moving along … [Plus – a few future badge reels I’d like to dedicate to all ‘Nurses who boycott The View/JB/WG’ … SNARL!] Finally got around to photographing some shop listings …

But, I do finally have some new glass to show off:   Etched, slumped bottles … I like them! And, somewhere along the way, I got the crazy notion that I would like to love-on a miniature pig, so … I’m researching, have a couple of books coming and I’m scouring the ‘net.  How can you …

And then there was work …

Yep – I’ll be heading back to my ‘Day Job’ (ummm … I’m a night-shift ER nurse) tomorrow.  No more vacation.  But – I’ve had a pretty great time! My ‘Christmas-in-the-Summer’ load is just about ready!  A few more ornaments and I’ll have a full (coffin) kiln.  Plus, I’ve got some other projects in the …

Christmas in July/August, Pup Watch and Oh …

Did I mention – I’M ON VACATION!  And – have you seen that MOON?   While we aren’t traveling anywhere – so it’s a working vacation – still, I’m HAPPY!  (THAT MOON!!!  Whew!  SOO glad I’m not in the ER right now …) I’m splitting time working on fused glass Christmas ornaments with Kumihimo, playing with …

All it took was Central Air …

Oh Yeah!  The BRAT strikes again.  DH – and licensed friend – are plumbing the studio for AC.  In honor of the soon-to-be COOL temps, I finally have a kiln running (the baby kiln for small jewelry pieces).  And I used my new work table.  Sure, I’m still sitting here in the studio – making …
