Actually, I have 2 more days to prepare for Christmas … [Fingers Crossed – but I think we’re looking okay!] Just a few more items to purchase, projects to complete and gifts to wrap. And get through an ER nursing weekend. It’s all good! We’ll be ready to start the celebrations on Christmas Eve … …
We had a great Thanksgiving day! DH and I prepped all we could the night before, including our (now) traditional bacon-wrapped herb-butter turkey, green bean casserole, hanky pankies and spanakopitas (although we didn’t bust into those on Thursday).

It must be the time of year – DH and I are SUPPOSED to be in Paradise right about now …Unfortunately we won’t be getting away this year. And, my ‘glassy mojo’ is (apparently) on vacation. So, creatively, it’s slow-going. My card making seems to be moving along. I made a few cards last week, …

We had our first snowfall this week (a semi-sticking kind, anyway). I love snow (from inside a heated space!)! So pretty … I’ve been keeping a couple of kilns busy for the last few days. We’re keeping up with ornaments, one mini load at a time (which somehow makes it easier for me) … I …
We are totally taking advantage of our Indian Summer – and the heater in our pool. Pool dayz … Gotta love ‘em! In between, we had a vitrigraph (murrini cane) pull. Requested yellow and black … make for a Green Lantern-esque cane. Hmmm … I like it! Our Neo pups are seven weeks old, and …
