Slowly, but surely! We did a bit of spring cleaning in the studio, as my packaging room was over-run with more boxes than I would ever need for shipping. There is no before photo, but trust me – it was crazy out-of-control. And, I tried to reorganize one of my storage/display shelves … There is …
So, another catch-up post. I’ve been missing in action because my alien baby, Hollis decided to come back (abdominal cellulitis) about 3 weeks ago. I had daily visits to my Doc for antibiotic injections, changed up the oral antibiotics and I’m now waddling with a 5-6 month pregnant-look (improved). Fun times! We managed a vitrigraph …
So we made the soup last week – the creamy cabbage kielbasa soup. It was delicious! And then I moved on to some studio cleaning and glass slumping. I had a small mishap with my spoon rests, as it’s been ages since I re-applied kiln wash, so after ruining 3, I’m prepping those molds with …
Even with less than cooperative Michigan summer weather, I’m having a great stay-cation. I have a couple more days of ‘bumming’ before heading back to the ER this weekend … In the meantime, we had our coe90 ‘carnival’ pull. Here is the stack, with the resulting murrini and cane. We had a family gathering …
I cut some glass for a few vitrigraph pulls. Tonight we did an aqua pull. Here’s the stack, and the murrini results. I also plan to do a repeat coe90 beige pull. And I’m trying to recreate the coe96 Carnival pull, but in coe90 colors … We’ll see how well I did mixing the …
So, just to shake things up a bit this week, DH fully embraced a senior moment. He gave Clyde his dose of naproxen, instead of Clyde’s dose of Zyrtec. Meanwhile, I was cruising along at 80MPH, whistling a happy tune in the studio … And came to a SCREECHING STOP! ‘You did what?’ Ninety minutes …
I think we are finally getting well (no more URI-crud) and moving in the right direction, creativity-wise. I’ve moved my fun and colorful spoon rests along. I have two more (coffin kiln) loads to go – but here’s the first batch. These will need to go back into the kiln, another trip to the saw …
Here at Clayton Hill. It’s all good, I wouldn’t have it any other way! Tubby had her babies – 7 beautiful, healthy, fat pups joined our gang on Saturday. DH and I are smoothing out the process of providing 24/7 pup-watch coverage for mom and babies, while still getting chores and jobs done. As it’s …
Just like that – Thanksgiving is over; We had a recipe-FAIL; and I’m missing a decent portion of the tip of my thumb. VOILA! For a hot second, DH was ‘proud’ of himself for pulling together Artichoke Spinach Pinwheels … the link shows you what they should have looked like. Our version was HUGE, with …
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 …
