We made it … All handmade gifts were completed and GIVEN. I pulled together a few cards (five – to be exact): Four to give to our offspring, to house the cash gifts they all wanted; And one more card for my sister … To go along with the Mexican Fruit Cake for her …

Both physically and creatively – with baby steps! I must not have been successful at the dodging-and-weaving game with our swarm of flu/URI-crud patients last weekend in the E.R. … I’ve been fighting sinus pain/snot and body aches this week – the best way I know: Lots of vitamin C (orange juice), strong medicine (ummm, …

After Michigan’s first snowfall of the season (Monday) and a stressful weekend at work, I decided on a low energy, restful week. We made some comfort foods (nachos, mostaccioli and quesadillas), played with pups and talked about Christmas plans. I made a card and moved some dichro cabs along: On a positive note …

Sorry for the really long lapse between postings. The reasons are varied, but combine busy-overload with creative funk, along with a bit of cleaning and reorganizing. And … officially entering my 5th decade of life. OUCH! My family knows me so well … And they all came to celebrate with dinner and cake at our …

Well no. But they keep you moving forward. Our time is so segregated these days – but it’s all good! So, I’m reporting on a little of this and a little of that! I have managed to do a couple of things in the studio. Speaking of which – here is a reverse view from …

I keep going back and forth with this creative rut. I need to do a MAJOR deep clean in the studio, and I’m not looking forward to it. But it has to happen, so … Next week! In the meantime, DH and I have played with some hot weather desserts. We tried some homemade (no …

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 …

Or trying to … I haven’t been making much, but I’m starting to get a bit of the mojo back. Last week, DH and I went to one of our old stomping grounds (bar/restaurant) to meet up with work friends. We had a good time, and I made a card for a dear friend (who …

So, I’ll start with the bulldog puppies. Even after diving into some home-made yogurt (as seen on Viola’s crusty head), they are still too darned cute. They love exploring in the yard, climbing rocks, cruising through grass or stopping to smell (and maybe taste) the flowers … Then we move on to cards – …

We had dinner out with the kids tonight. Over the years, DH has been fairly ‘privileged’ and/or isolated from dining out (I have food allergies, plus I like to cook). We went to a nice restaurant, and he nearly choked on the cost of the bill. But, it was a good dinner, great visit and …
