Researching–so it’s been a while …
But, I do finally have some new glass to show off: Etched, slumped bottles … I like them! And, somewhere along the way, I got the crazy notion that I would like to love-on a miniature pig, so … I’m researching, have a couple of books coming and I’m scouring the ‘net. How can you …
But HE Started It!
OH!!! It is SOO DH’s fault … He sent a de-funk Craig’s List item that promised a new storage rack/work station in my COE-90 designated work area. HE emailed the no-good listing to me. Now I WANT one! Shelves for my frits, upright storage for my glass, a place to tuck much-needed tools, AND a …
So – It’s not all bad …
We met the tax-day deadline (umm, with 30+ hours to spare!)! And, while Uncle Sam wasn’t so nice to us this year, I don’t have to look for another job just yet. Meanwhile … DH was busy all day Monday when a major pipe thawed (AND busted) by the barn. Fortunately, we caught it minutes …
Wet Room … and THANK YOU!
But first, my scenic cabs. It takes 5 firings to move these bad boys from start to finish. And, while I learned some skills and like a few of them, these just aren’t my cup of tea, overall … So, I’m not sure when I’ll revisit the technique. I will re-fire a few of them, …
2015 … So far, so good!
This week and – to date, 2015 has been busy and productive … My kilns have been working overtime: Future spoon rests (so far we’re up to 16 of them … in various stages); Night lights (umm … 12 and counting, including this turquoise and red beauty); New pendants almost ready for bails … And a partridge in …
Enamel and Torch Mania continues …
in bits and spurts. I am having too much fun! But, to be fair – I did work a 24 hour nursing tour, played with puppies, marinated in the pool, paid bills, touched base with my 22 year old birthday girl, and got a nap or two … Now that I’ve shared …
Because I’m Happy …
Yep – I have that song stuck in my head! Guess who’s anniversary present came early??? Uh-huh! This girl! Look at what I made … on my first night! “Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof!” Gotta go … got stuff to burn! I am one lucky bug! Thanks Honey!
We interrupt this technology …
To bring you an afternoon with internet searches and technical support. My favorite … trying to figure out why something computer/electronic isn’t working. But special thanks to Mike at USCutters, and my fancy plotter is up and running again!!! (Now, I have no idea why my other, less expensive Eclips is misbehaving … but that’s …
T minus 4 …
And the shopping is done! Sweet. Plus – I received an early Christmas present … Don’t you LOVE her? I do! DH says it’s a pretty fine line between Betty Boop Nurse and HER! I say, “Choose carefully!” Spent just a bit of time in my studio this evening … My sister has requested …
T-6 … so what’d you do today?
Less than 6 days ‘til Christmas … Wow, it’s really coming extra fast this year. Of course, a houseful of squishy-faced-love adds to the fun and hectic level of activity. DH and I did a little Christmas shopping today, when I finally decided that my left axilla was officially bugging me. To review: I had …
