But Maaa – I don’t wanna ….

I’m on such a productive roll in the studio – I don’t wanna go back to work, darn it! [Arms crossed with pouty face!] I have pictures:  Finally got some badge reel photos taking in prep for listing in the shops:     I have the coffin loaded (and RUNNING!) for new bowls (slumping): I …

Umm … Happy Nurse’s Week!

Wow – this weekend kicked some butt (namely mine) … From young adults on hallucinogenics to extended family with unsafe vitals, throw in a fellow co-worker getting SICK (requiring-ER-care sick!) to bike accidents that won’t soon be forgotten – all intermixed with ‘FLU’ complaints … I am SO GLAD my ‘tour’ is over! (My week …

Flop, but it’s ok …

It’s all valuable learning … I continue to putter and play with recycled bottle pieces … The vase experiment was a total flop.  Oops – totally wrong temperatures.  I’m giving up trying that again (for now) as I think it’s a lost cause due to the nature of glass in a kiln (wanting to be 1/4 …

Hmmm … not so much

Day 2 of my self-imposed tax time-out didn’t fair so well … How can anyone concentrate when surrounded by such cute four-legged kids?  I have pictures …  Zeus loves babies – He couldn’t get enough of Yogi Bear (4.5 wk old Yorkie):    And Zonie loves ‘posing’ AND really wanted to play with Mia:     …

Just say NO!

… to GREEN VOMIT!  Seriously – if you love an ER nurse (or have any RESPECT at all – and you REALLY SHOULD, as we have access to all sorts of sharp objects, good drugs, and tubes for every orifice …) you will be a responsible leprechaun this weekend.  Do not drink and drive, and for …

Dogs … they make me smile!

Had to share a few quick pics … two of Bandido, our Neo pup and one from facebook that just made me smile: Now it’s time for Fish Fry with the family … then off to the studio!!!

Relaxed, playing–and on a roll …

A great couple of evenings with my kids (both the two and four-legged kind), my kilns and my studio has me rolling into the weekend feeling great!  I have pictures: Romp time with the pooches … DH caught a quick pic, calling me the ‘dog whisperer’.    The last remaining (Neo) pups are moving on …

Cold studio … But

… I am ready for Christmas II (with my dad’s side of the family) … Yep, the house is in order, presents made and wrapped (I can FINALLY put away my wrapping paper for the year), laundry ALL caught up (no small feat with a family our size), puppy photo-shoot/correspondence complete for the week … …

Productive … but not with glass

Darn it!  But – I did just pay the bills.  “The house is ours for another 30 days, honey” – I yelled out to DH, as I do every month.  And, I saw my primary care physician today … I get to enjoy reduced premiums for another year.  Plus – I’ve lost a couple of …

Postponed …

Christmas (with my dad) has been pushed back – his household has ‘the crud’ (URI).  And while I love him very much, I would prefer he keep that to himself (and my uncle is immuno-compromised due to transplant).  So … another week of playing in the studio! WWU – Steady but not painfully so.  Lots …
