But I’m back. I’m sorry. I’m doing the best that I can. The nursing toll is feeling heavy this year. Add to it: Mandatory competency deadlines; another level of hot flashes; and T-8 days until Christmas … OMGosh! Got through my birthday, Thanksgiving, figuring our pottery kiln problem, annual work competencies … And here I …
What a wonderful day …
The weather was beautiful, our daughter was gorgeous … We had a great day! Moving on … I have a whole week to play in the studio. I have my garden starts growing … and I’ve roped DH into building one more (of the two requested) raised garden beds. It’s all about moving forward! The …
IT WORKED …
DH is a happy camper! Our Corned Beef Soup is amazing, and he has officially requested that it be added to our Recipe Book. Meanwhile, I am crocheting the ‘fast hats’ … here is another ‘Rainbow Plum’ to add to our growing display. I feel like we have a ‘Baby’ hat, now a ‘Mama’ hat …
Still Learning – While keeping myself ready …
Again, another week with a huge blow. It’s not fully understand yet – and I’m giving myself some time … But. it will be okay. I am creating – in the kitchen and with my yarn … Look at this bean soup, along with a nice ham/cheese/egg casserole to keep someone busy …     LOVE …
Excited, Sad – and a Celebration
I have lots of things going on in the studio. I received a bunch of silicon molds for F-N-F fun … Along with a few new stencils to play with … And, a ‘dirty pour’ kit from UGC. Time to bust out my kitchen torch … DH helped me change the stuck relay in my …
Marching On …

Momma got her Flock together …
Yep! We got all four of our kids together (along with my sister, brother-in-law and niece, my dad and stepmom, my grandpa and my mother-in-law) for a family dinner. I’m a happy girl! The twins turn 20 in just a few days, our oldest will be 25 in a few weeks, followed by our oldest …
T-32 hours …
And, it looks like most of this one is on me … ‘SssAllGoooood! Wow. I’m not whining – or stressing, but could we have just 2 or 3 more plates to keep spinning in the air right now? Combine college twins [who one might hope could be self-sufficient … SILLY GIRL!], with an overloaded DH, …
So much going on …
I knew this would be a crazy couple of weeks – what with turning 29 again!  [… Oh, yeah – and the presidential election …] Since I can only control what happens in MY REALM, I can safely report we’ve been busy; Life and glass go on … I continue my battle with time, power surges …
