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 …
Nora and I went swimming yesterday …
Well, actually – Nora was frantically trying to stay on top of the water and I jumped in to get her … in our pond … knee-deep in muck … IN THE COLD! When she didn’t come running back to the deck with the rest of our Yorkie crew, I started to worry. I don’t know what …
L.A.M. –
Life After Maggie … is tougher than I was prepared for. I didn’t realize I’d be grieving this much. And it hits me at strange times throughout the day/night. But, I haven’t cried today, so I feel like I’m advancing through the stages. Maybe I’ll even sleep a bit tonight … [Oops – there I …
Beyond baby steps …
Minute by minute?? Yeah – that’s about right. Here’s the scoop: My grandma is rallying; She has a trach, peg tube, foley and a tube in her gallbladder; per the specialist doctors (rehab), she suffered a major neurologic event at some unknown time … Is she down and out? Nope – NOT My Grandma. She’s …
Puppies, pendants and dandelions …
Oh my! Put in a full day at DTW yesterday (13 hours) … thank you central scheduling! But, we now have extended family in WA, VA, MO, NC and TX (as well as OH, IN, WI NY and MI). All the pups did great! We have one last pup here to play with (Stella), before …
Interesting, frustrating, painful … you decide
So, I’ve had 3 kilns running for the last few days. My experiments were … interesting and frustrating, but have potential … maybe. I also have a few other ideas to try. And, I have some sweet dichro (jewelry) pieces almost ready for listing: My ‘Christmas run’ is promising. And, I’m cooking the …
Oops – I’m doing it again …
I apparently can’t help it and I don’t THINK there’s a med for it … I’m scoping out a new hobby and chomping at the bit! Since DH has put a temporary kibosh on the ‘L’ addition to the studio (so – no room for a potter’s wheel yet!) … I’ve found something interesting that’ll …
My back, my SVU and my studio …
Spent the last several days working through my messed up back (not so much an old football injury, but something along those lines …). So – maybe I’m not the domestic goddess I thought I was. Better to plan things out and execute them SLOWLY … Feeling (physically) better now though – which I am …
And they’re off …
So starts the countdown … for the holidays. Since I’ve decided to turn my little hobby into a business of sorts, I didn’t realize the additional ‘stress’ I willingly added to my load. Hmmm … crazy me. But it’s all good. I can handle it. I love stress. Yep. Sure. Thanksgiving, craft show, Christmas shopping, …
Charging my batteries …
While I don’t hold it against Maggie, the rubbing of the Buddha belly did NOT work for this past Sunday … (must have needed more candles.) And – if I give it much thought, I’m already fearing this weekend, as I watch the moon get larger and larger … Scientifically proven or not, those of …
