A little of that. A quiet week, while we watch over our pups – ‘babysitting’ at it’s most fun! I ran the kilns a few times. Most recently, with these ornaments and night lights: Put together a shrimp stir fry, that turned out pretty amazing: And, I’ve started a new knitting project, thanks to KnitPicks. …
While my studio is quiet this week, our house is busy … We have puppies (AGAIN)! Labor started in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Many, many hours later, with lots of love, encouragement and patience – we welcomed blue, velvety-soft babies! Which keeps us close to the whelping boxes. Thank goodness for our downstairs …
I’m working through a weird virus that has me sleeping most of my week away … Headache and body aches even through Motrin, when I’m awake. I’m feeling better today (only needed a 3 hour mid-day nap), so I’m on the mend … Which is perfect, as our Sheeba had her puppies today (4 days …
For our next coe96 glass murrini cane offerings …. We did a gorgeous ‘scallion’ pull: And. here is our first coe96 medley package, available in our Etsy shop: It’s getting to be that time of year. The studio is becoming ‘Ornament Central’ as I prep for Christmas and our next show: Alas – it’s …
So, we will be off to Brighton Farmer’s Market Harvest Fest in T-7 hours … We put in some work, but we’re as ready as we’re gonna be! All but Chloe, that is … who managed to catch a few fading Summer-rays in the pool this week! (She does love her float!) PenDots and glass …

I used some of our 96 murrini to make a couple of pendants. They’re cute (!) and they proved to me they are fire-safe/stable. So – check for cane listings in our shop and on our FB page! And, it’s that time of year! Yep – Sangria Weather. So – I made up a vat, …
I got a wee bit side-tracked today. My new phone arrived – and I had some learning to do. Samsung Galaxy S8+ … Oh My Goodness … I love it! I’ve been taking pictures, pictures – and more pictures! What an awesome phone camera!!! Little to no photo-editing to correct colors or lighting needed … …
DH and I continue to play with the vitrigraph kiln, making murrini cane and stuff. We had a repeat pull tonight, and I learned the value of the bubble-squeeze (along with a more controlled ramp up)! We’ve had some 20+ pulls, and we are learning with each one! But – that’s a lot of vit …
