Less than 6 days ‘til Christmas … Wow, it’s really coming extra fast this year. Of course, a houseful of squishy-faced-love adds to the fun and hectic level of activity. DH and I did a little Christmas shopping today, when I finally decided that my left axilla was officially bugging me. To review: I had …

I’ve been playing a bit in the studio, and doing a wee bit of shopping. Someone has copper enameling equipment coming. [Shhhh – don’t tell DH!] And, a few new molds and glass from my favorite glass shop. Maybe I have some stands from NC on the way. Oh – and possibly a couple bails …

Yeah, sure … Umm, kinda WWU: The full moon did not disappoint this weekend. It was flippin’ craziness everywhere (And, I don’t mean [non-PC] behavioral medicine craziness. I mean full-moon nuttiness all the way around!): Arguments with law enforcement; bizarre complaints; insane volume in our ‘lil country club ER; combined with crazy computer issues. But …

What a week! I’ve been taking serious advantage of insomnia. I have 3 kilns running, and so much to report … Here’s what I worked on tonight: Fingers crossed it turns out as promising as I hope! And, I finished my fish ‘sculpture’ … the Twins gave it a ‘thumbs up’, and it’s kinda growing …

As we roll into the anniversary of our special day, I am celebrating! How, you ask? Well, I started my day with not one, but two ‘DEEP core’ weight-loss donations (… and it hurt!). Armed with nothing stronger than Motrin, we went to celebrate … at my local glass supplier – while DH went to …

So, I don’t have lupus or mixed-connective tissue disease … yet! Although, my newest doctor tells me that SUNSHINE could cause my ANA to flip. WTH!?! Next, someone’s gonna say that Diet Coke or alcohol are bad for you!!! In the meantime, I meet with the surgeon again next week … Meanwhile, DH did it …

[Fingers Crossed!!!] My irid platters are back in the kiln … this is where I blew it last time. Here’s hoping the kiln-Gods are pleased with me today … I’ll find out tomorrow. I moved my zentangle badge reels/pendants along. I capped one (you’re not supposed to, but I like it), ground edges on a …

Up, down and run around – just call me ‘Sue’ … or Crazy. What a week! Started on Monday, with a middle of my sleep-time doctor’s appointment. Back and forth we went 3 times this week (more in a minute) … And in between? We (ok, actually Olivia) had puppies! Some 16 hours of (well …

Feelin’ a bit more like me, and the Motrin is actually helping today … so I had a great day in the studio! I’ve been spending a lot of time learning Vitri-Fusaille (Peter McGrain) along with all other painting on stained glass techniques (Thank you, Williams and Byrne!). Look what I have to show off …

A long, stressful day … but a good day. Started early this morning as we flew pups off to their new homes. Got home just in time to watch their flights progress across the country … New extended family in NJ, MD, FL and MN. All the babies did well, and I’m happy and sad …
