Minimal Adulting …
We got thru tax season 2019. It was a painful week, but we beat the deadline. We did ‘OK’ this year – we felt the tax law changes, but came out ‘winning’ … For whatever reason, this year’s tax prep was UNBELEVIABLY painful. I never wanted to miss a deadline as badly! So, it’s Friday …
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 …
Sunshine & Puppies …
It doesn’t get much better for this old gal! Our Neo pups have moved on to their new homes, which is bittersweet. My bulldog posse have opened their eyes and found their VOICES! Here are a couple of group photos: And Clyde – profile and posing! I made a few cards, sent …
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 …
November 17-24, 2017
Wow, what a week! We started with Arts & Greens … A special Thank You(!) to all who stopped, shopped and visited with us!!! We had a great time, despite the torrential pouring of rain that was oozing down the greenhouse wall, creating a river through the middle of our space … [Doh!] Once the …
A Little of This …
A little of that. A quiet week, while we watch over our pups – ‘babysitting’ at it’s most fun! I ran the kilns a few times. Most recently, with these ornaments and night lights: Put together a shrimp stir fry, that turned out pretty amazing: And, I’ve started a new knitting project, thanks to KnitPicks. …
Laying low … but, NOT
While my studio is quiet this week, our house is busy … We have puppies (AGAIN)! Labor started in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Many, many hours later, with lots of love, encouragement and patience – we welcomed blue, velvety-soft babies! Which keeps us close to the whelping boxes. Thank goodness for our downstairs …
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 …
Cruisin’ Through Summer …
I’m still playing with my reverse enameling and stamps. A few more to finish and I will have a major coffin load of spoon rests & dishes. Tonight’s progress: I was painting while heating up our vit kiln for this brown/tan pull. Oops! Having said that … SOMEONE (DH) was right there with the …
Moo Goo Gai Pan & Studio Work …
Like much of my cooking, what started out as a small meal turned into enough to feed an army (squad – at least!) … I had a hankering for some stir-fry veggies, stumbled on this Moo Goo Gai Pan recipe (DH loves the name!), altered a bit with spices and veggie selection … Here’s my …
