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 not all tax prep …
While DH and I are pushing to meet the deadline, sifting through papers and tallying columns … we’ve done a few other things too. I made a cute owl/crackle plate. So now I have a poppy version in the works … And we have pups … adorable squishy-faced love. Xena loves her babies … Victor …
Road trip, new family and a few projects
Started the week bringing a new family member home. Meet our boy, Greco, AKA Rrricco Suave. He’s a big goofy puppy, and DH loves his dorky ears (or lack thereof …)! His coat is so velvety soft! Now that we’re settling into a routine, I’m making stuff in the studio. A new batch of hot …
But HE Started It!
OH!!! It is SOO DH’s fault … He sent a de-funk Craig’s List item that promised a new storage rack/work station in my COE-90 designated work area. HE emailed the no-good listing to me. Now I WANT one! Shelves for my frits, upright storage for my glass, a place to tuck much-needed tools, AND a …
Happy as … Larry(?)
I’d never heard that particular idiom (link for the origin of this phrase can be found here), but – I’m happy, so go ahead – call me Larry … Great week! Good food/family time, a bit of sunshine in the pool, lots of romp time with the pooches, and I’m pleased with my studio work …
Listings are good …
It means I’m producing! Here’s my finished Welcome Yoda sun-catcher/sign … Not bad – I like it, and I know what I will do differently next time: And iridescent platters (Yay!): And more dichro badge reels: Of course, it also means sitting at the computer cropping photos, creating ‘fun’ descriptions for the listings …
Back to Reality …
Although – LOTS of times, our reality is pretty AWESOME! We have puppies … Yep, Zeus is a first-time dad, and DH is strutting around, ready to pass out cigars – he is so proud of HIS BOY! Thirteen new bundles of wrinkles and puppy breath added to our ‘den’. Mom is already eating and …
Prayers & 3 kilns running …
And while I continue to take moments throughout the day to offer up prayers to the families and community in Connecticut, I go on about my business. Did I give my kids extra hugs? You bet! We had our family time at the dinner table over home cooked Shrimp Alfredo and finished with our nightly …
Thanksgiving …
I have a lot to be thankful for … Thanksgiving went off without a hitch, no one got sick, I got through the day with minimal thoughts of – and NO ACTUAL – maiming of family members(!), and with all of these left-overs – I won’t be cooking for several days! But seriously – while it was a busy week, …
Another one bites the dust …
Have passed through another year of life … DH likes to say I’m catching up to him. ‘Course I point out he’ll always be OLDER! So far, it’s been [another] busy, productive week: Made candles; went to Metro; spent time catching up/celebrating with my family (phone, visit, phone, phone!); did a little home canine nursing …
