WWU: Assisted fellow-staff with one nasty case of Norovirus this past weekend. While I cleaned and scrubbed [head to toe] with soap, sanitizer and BLEACH, I woke up Tuesday moving slow, with pains (head ache and back ache) … Jumping to the only sensical conclusion, I announced to the family that I was suffering from Noro-meningitis …

That’s my excuse, anyway. I’m scouring, learning and obsessing over jewelry making again. (In the non-fused glass, non-chain-maille sort of way …) This means I have a new wholesale account with yet another company … (Um, no actual purchases yet, just a lot of dreaming. It’s good to be prepared!) Yep, I know. I need …

I’m relieved all the same. I make myself nutty with these craft/art shows. I know I do. “They” say identifying the problem is half the battle. It’s not true … I’m still nutty! (But I knew that going in, so …) We’re working a show (that DH signed us up for) in … well, T-5 …

Guess what? I have water in my studio!!! I KNOW, right?!?! How incredibly cool is that! So – from here on out, most days that end in ‘Y’, you can find me in the studio … Those projects I had going from the last post are done: A stringer bowl and several spoon rests (12 …

Means I’m one happy girl. I broke down on Monday and purchased an instant download tutorial for a weave that I’ve liked but couldn’t quite figure out (felt like I needed 3 more sets of hands to complete). And now, I am a Four Winds mailing fool! Here are some earrings (with stainless steel, copper …

What a beautiful day! And – I spent time in the studio. Just doesn’t get much better than that! While I still don’t have water (DH says it’s frozen somewhere in the ground … NOT great news) – I had fun in the studio! I spent some time at the saw, and have requested spoon …

A few good hours in the studio, and I’m one happy girl! That added to the fact that the stitches are FINALLY out, I’m healing and starting to feel human again! So – my good day: It actually started a few days ago, when DH and I took some items to local shops, and I ‘peddled my wares’ …

I’m still a knitting-maniac while I wait not-so-patiently to be feeling better. Here are my latest quick-knit projects. And, I tried my hand at chainmaille (jewelry style, of course) … I like it. So, I’ve been surfing for much needed supplies and equipment (cuz I have too much time on my hands)! I’m …
