Oh my! Busy week in the studio, as I work on and wrap up some projects and special requests. Angels, dichroic badge reels, pendants, and a special ornament (… here come the pictures): I still have more dichro cabs to run, and a few other projects I’m working on … such a good week! …

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 …

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 …

[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 …

– It’s good to be (friends with) the King … – Mashed potatoes do not go well with ribs-n-beans … – Patience pays off (somewhat) … WWU – It’s Good to be (Friends with) the King: All hail our ER director! Yep, in the eleventh hour (or maybe it was the 23rd hour??? Anyway …) …
More experiments going on in the studio. This one, while not a success on the pleasing color scale … I think its worth playing with ‘boiling glass’ again: Continuing on with the ‘dookey’ theme … WWU: Admitting complaint =‘Seizure’ Discharged diagnosis=CONSTIPATION(!) … This ‘story’ tallies up in the SAVE column for my own particular WIN/LOSS …

What a week! But, I don’t have to work tomorrow (friend’s wedding) – AND I was able to carve out some studio time (it’s what insomniacs do) … so, a good week! [Throw in an unexpected visit to my grandparents, two ‘fast food’ meals – YUM!!!, and home made Nacho’s – loaded, of course!] I’m …
In trying to grant the twins (quietly supervised) alone time with their teen-age friends, giving them full access to the house and pool – I’m stuck in my office, feeling like I’m in a time-out (can’t be in the studio, and my pool is over-run with loud, laughing teen-agers, and no ‘adult refreshments’ either!!) … [Heavy …
Where’d the week go? Can’t believe it’s Friday already! Big family shin-dig to celebrate my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary later today … No studio time – but good family time. I have been producing in the studio. Still on a pendant/badge reel kick … with the new kiln running twice a day. And, my coffin …
