Overload! Overload! I’m taking 5 minutes, that I don’t really have, but … hey, it’s all good! Spent yesterday at the sister hospital – my head is spinning just a bit regarding the differences … kind of like shopping at a new grocery store … you take for granted the fact that you know the …
a little ingenuity and a lot of determination. We had a small ‘adventure’ yesterday … DH and I decided it would be worth the time to pick up a free hot tub for the studio deck. (I did mention that I’m a brat, right?) Four hours later, we successfully moved the mountain! But you have …
I’m now reminded of what makes me CRAZY about renovation/building … I want it (the new studio) done YESTERDAY!! But, I’m trying to be patient … and frugal. I keep reminding myself – ‘this is NOT a living space’ … no one will be photographing it for ‘House Beautiful’ … but – I’m a brat! …
It’s been that kind of a week. Lots of running around, researching, cleaning, meetings, commiserating with friends … all good (and needed!), but … my warm glass studio is cold this week. It’s been a yo-yo kind of week emotionally too … from DARN SANE to a childhood friend [when we were kids, we’d meet …
I love this frame of mind … I wish I could bottle it! Positive energy, lots of creativity and productivity … Life is good! DH performed emergent, life-saving ‘surgery’ on Dear Old Grinder. She’s back! And with a new 1 inch coarse grit bit – we’re moving through glass like a hot knife through butter! …
Sometimes they work … sometimes not so much. But I’m compelled to keep trying – to the annoyance of my bank account and DH. New mold, new bottle bowl. I like it, but will continue to play with it to get more relief (so the design shows off more) … A dichroic experiment … I …
So today marks the day … 21 years ago, two really dumb kids tied the knot. Who knew … 2+ decades, 3 houses (and one run-down apartment), 4 kids, several hobbies, and too many dogs/puppies to list later … and I’m still the light of his life! We started dating in high school – …
Started playing with some new dichro pieces last night (ok – early this morning, as the insomnia has returned!) … managed to break a piece of glass very poorly, and am now sporting 3 band-aids on my left hand from where I was apparently trying to deglove myself a couple fingers at a time! Not …
Up at 9p yesterday, back to sleep at 5am. Airport runs and errands, then back to my ‘own schedule’ for a day or two (while being on-call, so who knows …?) Then up at 6am (did I say A.M. ?!?) on Friday for a vet surgical appointment (two of our Neo’s have cherry eyes – …
Got a reprieve from the electric company … maybe they felt bad for me? With the kilns kicking, I’ve got to be a good customer, right? Anyway – power’s back on as of Tuesday night! YAY!! I spent some time realizing I would not have done well in pioneer days … Up at 5am this …
