So, my dad and grandpa got Amazon-love … Umm, without cards! What’s up with that??? Where are the ‘gift notes’ Amazon?!? [Horrible daughter/grand-daughter hangs head in shame …] DH bought himself a gift (a pneumatic tire changer-thingy), along with my father’s day gift (an XT glass tile saw – thanks, Babe!), and his own (surprise) …
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 …
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 …
I did it again! Chalk it up to this time of year; a knee-jerk response to a bit of family drama; too many learning opportunities – or just an internet-shopping glass junkie spree … But I got my fix! MmHmm!!! I watched a reverse enamel painting tutorial … so, I have a fine collection of …
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. Spent a fair amount of energy plotting out my listings for the shop … Maybe I’m making it more complicated but … Wow! Today, I took the time …
A good appointment with our tax man means CHS gets to keep making cool stuff! [Well, yeah, sure – AFTER a weekend of ER nursing fun!] Our pups are growing by the minute! Momma Xena is eating like a champ and her fat ‘lil piglets will be opening their eyes soon! So, I’m happy! Had …
While DH and I are pushing to meet the deadline, sifting through papers and tallying columns … we’ve done a few other things too. I made a cute owl/crackle plate. So now I have a poppy version in the works … And we have pups … adorable squishy-faced love. Xena loves her babies … Victor …
Glass Expo is this week. Nope, I still can’t go. Dangit! So – I’m staying busy … It’s been several weeks in the making, but I wanted to make some ‘cloud tiles’ … So, I did. And, tonight I cut those beauties up into future pendants: Here are the tiles going in, mapped out for …
It turns out, you can’t play with your torch if your OXYGEN tank is empty … Nope! Doesn’t matter how much of that glass glob you place into your ‘hottest flame’ … This is what you get … And now, I am waiting on my (new) O2 tank arrival(!); Meanwhile murrini is on hold!!! But …
… I think(!) … Maybe … Yes!!! I’ve been wanting to play with the torch and making my own murrini for a while now. I’m just about ready … So – this is it! … … AFTER physical therapy! [Arrrgghh! – my arm is already ACHING!] But, I can do this. And – I have …
