Tag: dichroic badge reels
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 …
Baby steps …
I’m slowly redesigning, reworking and correcting my studio mishaps. An idea that I thought was a slam-dunk (no design flaws) is proving to be a challenge … so I’m workin’ it! Plan B failed, I’m trying plan C now – and I have a back up plan in case that’s a bust too! Of course, …

Summer Nights and DARN SANE
Weekend update: Just another drunk summer weekend … We had lots of alcohol-involved visits. Probably made the new computer program transition more bearable for the patients. Kind of wish I could have been inebriated too (darn computers anyway), but … a great crew helped! Had the monthly DARN SANE meeting this morning … on a …
Happy Memorial Day …
I could do a lot of (justified) whining and griping about this weekend … but why bother? It doesn’t change anything … So – instead … I will wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day(!) … be thankful for so many things … and focus on the week ahead (away from the ER, patients, families, visitors, …
