Heat wave … and other news
Got a reprieve from the electric company … maybe they felt bad for me? With the kilns kicking, I’ve got to be a good customer, right? Anyway – power’s back on as of Tuesday night! YAY!! I spent some time realizing I would not have done well in pioneer days … Up at 5am this …
Babies’ Birthday
Had some fun with the birthday kids (the twins) the other day. I have my son convinced [and dreading the fact] that he’s getting a sewing machine and my daughter is getting a tow bar (a ‘man-gift’ … I panicked and that’s all I could come up with on the spot) for their birthday … …
An experiment …
I’ve spent some time (yeah, ok, hours and HOURS) researching and learning about dye-sublimation … what you can do, and what you’re not supposed to be able to do … I love bending the rules – if it works.

A houseful of stinkers!
That’s what I have, both the two and four-legged kind! During our evening romp outside, I thought it might be nice to get some pictures of the dogs … NOPE – no one wanted to cooperate. Yoda Kei – the biggest stinker of them all – is below. He’s such a snot that he’s sporting …
Morning news …
Woke up refreshed and renewed after sleeping 11 hours … now ready to embrace the ABCs of Life … Since I woke up at 630am (such an unnatural hour to wake up), I started working in the kitchen. I made a batch of what I lovingly refer to as ‘Monkey Juice’. What started out years …
(Yet another) new hobby is born …
I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it … The heat press came today – YAY!! Meet Mr. DC16AP … isn’t he cute? We did some rearranging in the studio to give him a good home. And even though my much needed ‘heat tape’ has not yet arrived, I couldn’t wait to play, but …
