It’s the 20 Year Anniversary …
Of turning 29 … Yep, that’s what I celebrated this week. I’ve spent the last several years avoiding specific numbers, while I slowly acknowledge – and am just about ready to – fully gear-up – and possibly embrace … turning 50 (read: F.I.F.T.Y; “The BIG 5-0”!!!) … Yeah, sure … IN ANOTHER 363 days. It’s …
Better Late Than Never …
I ran out of time last week to post. So, here I am in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, planning out my week ahead and reflecting on last week. We did a beautiful coe96 vit pull on Friday. Here are photos of the gorgeous red murrini from the cane, and the pull progression from …
What a week!
Chloe had her babies! On Wednesday, she started stage 1 labor, and when she ‘returned’ her food, we were off to the vet. Six hours later, we came home with one groggy Momma and four beautiful bulldog babies! Here she is loving on her ‘posse’: Life-on-the-outside is settling in (day 1 was a bit rough, …
Tales from a card-maker wanna-be …
I had some ups and downs this week. I’m having a drink right now to ease my latest nightmare adventure … [Cue drama …] But first … I love me some fuchsias. I can’t write the word without the aid of spell check (what is up with that crazy spelling, anyway); I can’t keep the …
2017 Goes Out with a Bang!
I got home from work Sunday morning (12/31/17) to find my studio furnace had died, literally exploding within itself. Fortunately, the damage was to the furnace only. My studio was a brisk 49 degrees, and the water lines didn’t freeze. Goodbye 2017 and goodbye furnace. As we roll into the 2nd day of 2018, I …
T’was Two Days Before Christmas …
[MmHmm – You know how it goes …] And, all through the house, not a creature was stirring … Except for me, and Ro … Busy week! But, I am prepared! On Tuesday, Rotunda came home. She is TOO FREAKIN’ ADORABLE!!! And, Chloe loves her too! On Thursday, we finished our Christmas shopping. Which …
Computers & Cute Puppies
Spent 3-4 hours this week fighting with my new computer, Windows 10 and technology. Aaarrggh! I now realize nothing is compatible with Windows 10. Previously purchased (expensive) software programs (Corel, Excel, WinZip) need to be upgraded (‘at a discount’ … MY ARSE!), reinstalled, reconfigured … Good Lawdy! But, my computer, my files and my plotter …
Down, but not out …
I’m working through a weird virus that has me sleeping most of my week away … Headache and body aches even through Motrin, when I’m awake. I’m feeling better today (only needed a 3 hour mid-day nap), so I’m on the mend … Which is perfect, as our Sheeba had her puppies today (4 days …
It’s time …
For our next coe96 glass murrini cane offerings …. We did a gorgeous ‘scallion’ pull: And. here is our first coe96 medley package, available in our Etsy shop: It’s getting to be that time of year. The studio is becoming ‘Ornament Central’ as I prep for Christmas and our next show: Alas – it’s …
Can’t Stop It …
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 …
