Cold studio … But

… I am ready for Christmas II (with my dad’s side of the family) … Yep, the house is in order, presents made and wrapped (I can FINALLY put away my wrapping paper for the year), laundry ALL caught up (no small feat with a family our size), puppy photo-shoot/correspondence complete for the week … …

Did I mention …

I love my studio!!  It’s true – I do.  Even when experiments don’t come out as planned … it’s not as painful.  I just moved on to other projects, letting the set-backs ruminate for a bit … They’re almost cute – darn it!  Here’s the other stuff we’ve been working on this week: Wine bottle …

Happy Birthday Old Guy …

WWU: Lots of feast to famine this weekend.  Sunday night started as SRO in my little ER – I don’t think I stopped running (ok, ‘walking briskly’) until 1130-12mn … infant IV’s, conscious sedation for dislocations, cellulitis requiring admission, kidney stones, arrhythmias – along with all the other standards – flu, strep throat, ‘is it …

Workin’ it out …

I’ve got all sorts of mixed media ideas … so now begins the trial phase.  Between embossing and painting, metal and glass (stained and fused) … Wow!  I’m  eager to try my own spin on this print: In the meantime, I decided to frame/hang my tree of life experiment.  I plan to make another – …

Finally have the kiln running on a regular basis … oh how I love this!  In between quick projects, I am working on more complex pieces.  And – I have a Valentine’s Day idea or two I’d better get working on… Meanwhile – I am still researching all things embossing … Need to get DH …

‘Twas Two Days After Christmas …

And all through the house, not a creature was stirring – except for me … WWU – It was unexpectedly busy in my stand-alone ER over Christmas weekend.  I really thought more folks would be staying home … NOPE.  We had a bit of everything: behavioral medicine complaints, intoxicants, lacerations, food poisoning, the never-ending FLU …

Whirlwinds in December …

WWU – Sunday was busy for my new little ER … and I had three (no really, count them –T.H.R.E.E.) patients transferred for hospital admission!  Sure made the weekend go by quickly … as will this one coming up, I’m sure: Lots of holiday gatherings by day and work at night … Come on insomnia …

And She’s Off …

FINALLY have the production kiln running – as I type.  AND … the coffin-kiln is loaded – ready to start tomorrow morning, when I can be in the studio for at least the first 8 hours (until we hit the magic 1500 degrees) to make sure it’s new home can take the heat.             We …

Evil Strikes Again … (WWU)

While I was trying to get through my weekend at work – doing good deeds, like starting IV’s on septic infants (SUCCESS!) – the dark side struck … Yep – the biological mother rose up from the depths of Hades to mess with me and mine again!  While I may be one sarcastic gal – …

Painful – but in a good way …

Walking in a winter wonderland … It snowed most of Tuesday night, but it was so beautiful Wednesday – I couldn’t stay mad … My new fridge arrived on Tuesday – in the middle of multiple power outages/the snow-storm.  “OK guys – the kitchen is this way,” as I wielded the flashlight like a crazed …
