Still No Studio Time …

But – I have a bedroom, and a BED!!!  And, a new desk for our bedroom ~ gotta love Craigslist!  (The desk is on the ‘sitting room’ side of our room, and not yet ready for pictures … but it’s coming along.  A few more days, and I should have a living room, dining room …

Welcome 2016 …

A good Christmas, a good New Year’s Eve, and work-weekend one (of 52) down*… I like it!  [* – and that’s all I have to say about Weekend Wrap Up/ER nursing today, while I ruminate and mentally readjust!] Plus … I have a beautiful family; Flooring is complete in my bedroom (which means we’re only like …

Two days before Christmas … and Still Movin’

… ‘Cuz there’s no choice … And, I wouldn’t have it any other way!  [Deep Breath!]  So, here’s what we’ve got: ‘Twas two days before Christmas and all through the house, all you can hear is the snoring of 9 brand new mice puppies!  Yep, we have babies!  Born on Friday, already growing by leaps …

Bad weather, good day …

We had a fairly impressive snowstorm today, the first of the season … during our show.  That was kind of a bummer, and made for a chillier than usual green house.  But, we still had a good day at Arts & Greens 2015.  Here’s our booth: We also brought Gus with us.  He was a …

Why Directions (STILL) Don’t Apply to Me …

Not sure … I’m getting over being sick?  Or, maybe I’m actually MALE – and I just don’t know it??  It’s certainly not because I’m too smart, cuz I STILL haven’t learned my lesson! Exhibit A – my Evil Queen spoon rest:  Looks good – ready for firing.  To be clear, the powder wafer sheet adhesive comes with instructions …

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 …

Harvest Fest, Blood Moon and Puppies …

We were at Harvest Fest in Brighton this Saturday.  A great day – with beautiful weather, lots of folks and too little sleep for me. (Note the frumpy, less-than-welcoming, pained look on the face of ‘the artist’ in the corner … oops!)  Still, a great show for us … and I’ll work on my facial …

Researching–so it’s been a while …

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 …
