Got through the online nursing competency bit AND the day-walking blitz competency … So, yeah! I’m street-legal with my employer for another year. Yay!!! Back in the studio … I’m taking inventory in slow preparation for Arts & Greens 2017, deciding which projects, ornaments and techniques to try. And cutting up vitrigraph stacks, as we …
It’s that time of year again! Yep, annual on-line nursing competency H.E.L.L. … To add to the fun, our educational expert decided to choose a print font visible only to the insect eye! And I’M the ONE getting tested for age-specific appropriate skills, tools and techniques?!? But, it’s over … for now! We had a …
I know … I KNOW!!! I’m supposed to be cooking for TWO! I KNOW THIS ~ but, it can’t be stopped! I started with what I hoped would be a yummy, roasted cauliflower recipe (Pinterest strikes again!) … No offense, but it was just about mush, ready to be mashed cauliflower. Who does that? I’d make …
OK – a little bit of news … We’re prepping for (hopefully) the two shows we do each year (one confirmed, one pending) … I know we will be at Brighton Harvest Fest on 9/23 … come and say ‘Hi’, if you get the chance … So, I’m prepping inventory, boxing jewelry, etc. And, DH …

What an A$$-kicking week! Sent our youngest off for Boot Camp (x4 months). I can’t tell you how many times the ER nurse/Momma Bear in me was in conflict. But, he is 20 years old – makes his own decisions … and I couldn’t ‘ground him’ if I wanted to … And then, the evil-biologic …
I used some of our 96 murrini to make a couple of pendants. They’re cute (!) and they proved to me they are fire-safe/stable. So – check for cane listings in our shop and on our FB page! And, it’s that time of year! Yep – Sangria Weather. So – I made up a vat, …
Our first vitrigraph pull of the night … coe96 turquoise: We got some gorgeous cane/murrini. But – we had a crazy amount left-over in the vit pot … I mean like 1.5-2 inches. Since I knew I wanted to do another pull, we crash cooled the pot in cold water. It made a BEAUTIFUL ‘hunk’ …
I got a wee bit side-tracked today. My new phone arrived – and I had some learning to do. Samsung Galaxy S8+ … Oh My Goodness … I love it! I’ve been taking pictures, pictures – and more pictures! What an awesome phone camera!!! Little to no photo-editing to correct colors or lighting needed … …
