Introducing Pignacious Peg Leg Polka Dot
Or, NayNay for short … Our newest permanent member of the clan. (DH finally said it out loud …) Not that I love Chloe’s other babies any less … Speaking of which – here’s the Cowbell snuggling with Maybeline, and her whole posse, who turned 3 wks old today. Auntie Ro also likes …
It’s Time to Make the Donuts …
Motherhood isn’t always easy … But poor Chloe is doing great! And her piglets are growing and thriving. While the Cowbell loves her babies very much, she let me know with a look or two this week that it’s not all bonbons and roses. My sweet thing! The pups, who are 10 days old, are …
So, yeah … We’ll get to glass
But first … I made a few cards this week. And, I’ve got a few (hundred) more ideas rolling around. I did feed DH – my version of Eggroll-In-A-Bowl. He loves it. And, we made a small stock-pot amount … Leftover’s for the boys! This week-end we’ll be making a giant crock of (my) …
Ahhh …
RELIEF! Got through the annual tax date with our favorite accountant. We really cut it down to the wire this year, finishing our sorting and tallying for the 3 businesses/4 jobs just 2 short hours before our appointment (with a 45 minute drive to make!)! YIKES! After that painful deadline, I am so not ‘adulting’ …
Finally!
But – not what I’m supposed to be doing … Yeah, well – we’ll get to that.* I made cards. Bona fide, ready-for-giving greeting cards! And, I’m playing with up-next designs. I stumbled on some of my long-ago handmade paper (from 6 years ago!) – and decided it would be a great background for a …
Card Making Crazy continues …
I spent time this week watching Youtube and scoping blogs for stamping, card making and paper-crafting ideas. Ah, the internet – such a great way to occupy an insomniac’s mind! I’m no expert – yet, but I have a decent handle on the stamping, so I made a sheet of focals to color. Now, this …
New ‘art’ and other news …
I became (re-)obsessed with stamping, coloring and card making this week. I know … It’s been a strange week! Ahem … back to card making. I’ve reorganized those supplies, dusted off my stamp storage, dug in to my water colors, copic markers and distress inks. So, yeah … MAYBE I ordered a few more things. But, …
Enameling–what NOT to do … and other news
Finally played with copper glass enameling last night. I used the sifting method, and it wasn’t as easy as I thought. It made me realize I prefer slightly larger ‘canvases’ … But, one very important lesson learned regarding what NOT to do: Don’t drop that 1450 degree piece of red hot glass/metal, as you’re transferring …
Cuz It’s THAT Time of Year!
Yep. Time for a bit of ‘distraction shopping’. I watched a few videos about copper enameling and PMC (precious metal clays) with glass … So, I’m stocking up on what I need, waiting for some items to arrive and scouring through my books. Hope to give this a try in the near future. Meanwhile, it …
Excited, Sad – and a Celebration
I have lots of things going on in the studio. I received a bunch of silicon molds for F-N-F fun … Along with a few new stencils to play with … And, a ‘dirty pour’ kit from UGC. Time to bust out my kitchen torch … DH helped me change the stuck relay in my …
