Family – We Had Them out …
It wasn’t quite the way we planned, but we had all of our kids over for dinner. It was supposed to be something along the line of mano a mano … So that we could spend time with each of our offspring in a meaningful way, with good food in a relaxed atmosphere, making each …
Food, Family and Fall …
Finally some cold working, some kiln work … some production! And some spoon rests that I’ll be adding to our shop very soon! I played with paper too. I have wanted to make fall themed backgrounds – I love these! Now to figure out how to finish them … I’ve been producing in the studio, …
A Quiet Week …
After Michigan’s first snowfall of the season (Monday) and a stressful weekend at work, I decided on a low energy, restful week. We made some comfort foods (nachos, mostaccioli and quesadillas), played with pups and talked about Christmas plans. I made a card and moved some dichro cabs along: On a positive note …
Mother’s Day and cute stuff!
We had dinner out with the kids tonight. Over the years, DH has been fairly ‘privileged’ and/or isolated from dining out (I have food allergies, plus I like to cook). We went to a nice restaurant, and he nearly choked on the cost of the bill. But, it was a good dinner, great visit and …
Sweet Puppies, Mental Health Nite and CARDS …
RoBo’s babies have turned three weeks old. Their eyes are open and starting to focus, ears are opening (they scare themselves when they growl or bark) and they’re getting cuter by the MINUTE!!! DH and I got together with some of my work gang this week. Many have moved on from our ER ( – …
Minimal Adulting …
We got thru tax season 2019. It was a painful week, but we beat the deadline. We did ‘OK’ this year – we felt the tax law changes, but came out ‘winning’ … For whatever reason, this year’s tax prep was UNBELEVIABLY painful. I never wanted to miss a deadline as badly! So, it’s Friday …
They’re Done … Almost
I spent the better part of the week bringing the spoon rests thru to their final slump. All but three. This other one had air bubbles I didn’t like, so it’s in the baby kiln for a flip and fire, along with some murrini nibs. I hope to use the nibs (otherwise ‘useless’) in an …
On The Mend …
I think we are finally getting well (no more URI-crud) and moving in the right direction, creativity-wise. I’ve moved my fun and colorful spoon rests along. I have two more (coffin kiln) loads to go – but here’s the first batch. These will need to go back into the kiln, another trip to the saw …
A Bit of a Rut …
It must be the time of year – DH and I are SUPPOSED to be in Paradise right about now …Unfortunately we won’t be getting away this year. And, my ‘glassy mojo’ is (apparently) on vacation. So, creatively, it’s slow-going. My card making seems to be moving along. I made a few cards last week, …
