This week and – to date, 2015 has been busy and productive … My kilns have been working overtime: Future spoon rests (so far we’re up to 16 of them … in various stages); Night lights (umm … 12 and counting, including this turquoise and red beauty); New pendants almost ready for bails … And a partridge in …
We had some fun Christmas moments this year: We (as a family unit) decided we needed to hit a few more stores on Christmas Eve … It’s quite an adventure if you haven’t tried it. All sorts of interesting people-watching to be done, including us at times: We found a hat just made for modeling …
Well, actually – Nora was frantically trying to stay on top of the water and I jumped in to get her … in our pond … knee-deep in muck … IN THE COLD! When she didn’t come running back to the deck with the rest of our Yorkie crew, I started to worry. I don’t know what …
We had our show. It was great! A lot of work, but what a wonderful end to our ‘season’! Here is our 24 foot long ‘booth’ (the only photo I took, as we were still setting up … DOH!) In the meantime, my studio is trashed(!!!), but there is no down-time for the wicked weary …

That’s ok … I’ll still make myself nutty for this up-coming show, but maybe not ‘top-shelf nutty’… (???) Here’s what I have to show-off today: a quick-but-cute donut necklace; my 11×14 canvas …
Lots going on … I turned 29 (again! … A few more of these birthdays, and I’ll be able to skip straight to social security); we had puppies(!!!); got through a weekend (work) tour with a particularly tough case; and we continue to prepare for our next show … Oh, I slept for 17 hours …
It’s been forever, I know. Busy mixed with a little funk, I guess. Not so much going on in the kilns, but I did get all of my beading supplies moved from my ‘office’ to the studio. This meant a lot of deep cleaning, reorganizing and stair climbing(!), but I like it … I also …
DH signed us up to participate in Brighton’s Harvest Fest (market/art and craft show) … umm – this SATURDAY. (8am-3pm 9/27/14) So, it’s a good thing I’m not stressing out, experiencing any sort of insomnia spike while I systematically search the internet (like some neurotic, jonesing sociopath with only one thing on her mind …) …
