Couple of crummy cases at work, mixed in with some great patients and holiday-weekend volume left me feeling road-weary Monday morning … Just Wow!!! So, I crashed hard.

We tried a pink/purple pull this week. Good results, I think! I’ve been restocking spoon rests – along with some new designs – 8 prepped for the kiln. Also catching up on night lights [no photo], along with a couple of Easter bunnies … They are adorable and I had fun making them! I’ve …
CHOPPING!!! Yay! DH delivered my chopper to the studio today. So, I had to interrupt my cleaning spree to start cutting up murrini. OMGosh! So easy and so awesome!!! Thanks Babe!
