Yep! We got all four of our kids together (along with my sister, brother-in-law and niece, my dad and stepmom, my grandpa and my mother-in-law) for a family dinner. I’m a happy girl! The twins turn 20 in just a few days, our oldest will be 25 in a few weeks, followed by our oldest …
Dinner with the (high school) girls, along with a bit of pool time this week, and – Oh, life is good! [Thanks ladies!!!] My kilns are cooking (photos to come), and I’ve got my next vit stack ready. Shooting for an ocean/water scheme, and I’m hopeful we can have our pull before heading back to …
We had a fun vitrigraph cane pull last week. I finally got around to chopping, photographing and listing … Then I played around with a couple of mixed bag options … I like it! I’ll be listing a few in our shop, so keep an eye out! Our coe90 cane selection is growing, and …
I’m still playing with my reverse enameling and stamps. A few more to finish and I will have a major coffin load of spoon rests & dishes. Tonight’s progress: I was painting while heating up our vit kiln for this brown/tan pull. Oops! Having said that … SOMEONE (DH) was right there with the …
DH surprised me tonight by suggesting a vit pull. Aww … Thanks, babe! So – we did. It’s Bullseye aqua, teal, steel blue, emerald green, powder blue, warm white and clear. I’m happy with the results! And then, I stole a few hours for enamel projects … I love the cat & dog spoon rests. …
Finally – some Michigan sunshine! Chloe met the big pool. We even tried getting her in, to float on a raft … Based on the flailing and wrestling match to get her back on the deck, I’d say she didn’t like it. So, she has her own wading pool on the deck … which she …
Chloe got through her first heat. Good golly it was painful! I needed to take pseudo-affected ibuprofen through-out the whole ordeal! So, let’s just describe the hot-mess, horror story with her rear end swelling to a situation x300 % base-line, combined with irritated, raw-looking redness, and my own ovaries and hormones screaming in sympathetic …
I played a bit in the studio tonight … Working on more reverse enameling projects. I have a lion (or llama – you decide) spoon rest, an elephant ring dish, and two stamped plates in-the-works. I hope to combine reverse-enameling with crackle glass on the plates … We’ll see … I also fire-polished my tile …
Pretty busy week here at Clayton Hill … Our Tubby had babies on Monday! Strong, healthy tawny and blue pups … and Mom! All are doing great! Miss Tubitha likes her some food, she does! Which is a blessing – as she likes my cooking (calories), along with kibble and puppy food! Just look at …
Spent a couple of days this week cleaning up/organizing my haven, uhh STUDIO! Good golly, it’s been a while. But she’s all back together – I can find stuff, AND I have open spaces to work! What a cool idea!!! DH and I had our pink cane pull. While it didn’t do what I thought …
