Look what I made! Etched brass, ready for enameling! Except … I just realized I probably won’t have success with my enamels [I bought Thompson copper enamels vs. low fire (aluminum/brass) enamels] … DOH! The good news – this etching process works just as well with copper. Which will be tomorrow’s experiment. And, maybe I …

I’m TRYING to be good. But – I just spent the last 3 hours attempting to save the lives of virtual (plastic) babies … Judged by how quickly I threw ‘life saving items’ “IN MY BASKET(!!!)” … And, I’m not done yet. On Thursday, I’ll endure another 90 minutes playing ‘lets pretend’ with REAL plastic …

A little of that. A quiet week, while we watch over our pups – ‘babysitting’ at it’s most fun! I ran the kilns a few times. Most recently, with these ornaments and night lights: Put together a shrimp stir fry, that turned out pretty amazing: And, I’ve started a new knitting project, thanks to KnitPicks. …

I know … I KNOW!!! I’m supposed to be cooking for TWO! I KNOW THIS ~ but, it can’t be stopped! I started with what I hoped would be a yummy, roasted cauliflower recipe (Pinterest strikes again!) … No offense, but it was just about mush, ready to be mashed cauliflower. Who does that? I’d make …

What an A$$-kicking week! Sent our youngest off for Boot Camp (x4 months). I can’t tell you how many times the ER nurse/Momma Bear in me was in conflict. But, he is 20 years old – makes his own decisions … and I couldn’t ‘ground him’ if I wanted to … And then, the evil-biologic …
