I did some coloring this week. That led to organizing my available markers, deciding which colors/color-families I wanted to grow … A wee bit of online shopping … (Umm, Mother’s Day is coming …) More coloring and new stamps to color (I’m not too sure about that clown, but the witch and Frankie are pretty …
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 …
RELIEF! Got through the annual tax date with our favorite accountant. We really cut it down to the wire this year, finishing our sorting and tallying for the 3 businesses/4 jobs just 2 short hours before our appointment (with a 45 minute drive to make!)! YIKES! After that painful deadline, I am so not ‘adulting’ …
I became (re-)obsessed with stamping, coloring and card making this week. I know … It’s been a strange week! Ahem … back to card making.

It made me realize I prefer slightly larger ‘canvases’ … But, one very important lesson learned regarding what NOT to do: Don’t drop that 1450 degree piece of red hot glass/metal, as you’re transferring …
Michigan snowfall has postponed Christmas II (with Dad/et al.) … The predicted snow storm proved to be too much … So, while our tree is ready with gifts waiting, the menu set, the house prepared – we’re on hold, and watch the snow fall … Of course, now I’m doing it from my studio. And, …
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 …
