Catching the Christmas spirit …
or is that SPIRITS??? (We’ll get to that…) I’m happy. I’m gathering up small projects/music to keep myself occupied while I work the art shop tomorrow. Come join me from 12n-8p … I’ll have Pentatonix rockin’ on my MP3 player for some a cappella Christmas cheer (thanks L.T!!) Back to spirits … I’ve been putting all …
Hey Ladies …
Come on out tonight and start your holiday shopping. It’s “Ladies Night Out” at Muir Middle School in Milford. I’ll be there, peddlin’ my wares from 6-9pm. You can see, first hand how well I displayed 5 tubs worth of my glass work on one 8 foot table … or NOT! I’ll have lots of …
Decals, dichroic extract, screen printing …
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! …
Ready, Set ~ Go … CRAZY

Elevating the mold helps to heat the glass more evenly and helps to …
Moving along …
I have three kilns running! Yea BABY!!! More platters, dichro cabs (with some requested Angels), and a few experiments. Love it! And, I’ll have a de-bubble run coming later this week. Yep, moving along … Slept some 18 out of 28 hours(! – I know, right?!?) – so, I’m over the trauma …
Spinning my wheels …
but – still being productive. After seven phone calls, I have the next doctor’s appointment set, this time with an academic dermatologist (yeah, I didn’t realize there are different types either) … I see him in 6 weeks. Lordy, here’s hoping everything stays stable and the fever stays at bay. As a healthcare worker – …
Shitake! But not yet …
Have you seen that THING?!? Egads … this weekend is gonna be tough! Yesss – it’s pretty in the sky over the farm, all innocent and peaceful looking. NO – I do NOT want to go to work this weekend!!! (It will still be too full come Saturday for my county … just sayin’!) Feeling kind’a …
