Thanksgiving High …
to a nursing LOW … But first – we had a wonderful Thanksgiving, our kids, et. al. joined us for our (now traditional) bacon wrapped herb/butter encrusted masterpiece. [OK – this one was not so beautiful on the outside – I opted for thick-cut bacon … delicious, but not so pretty!] Even our oldest seemed …
Santas, Snowmen, and Spoon Rests–Oh My …
I’ve had some major mojo in the studio this week, while I’ve worked hard to restock some much-needed inventory … Tonight was all about ornaments … I’m working on Santa, Snowmen and Nut-Cracker Soldiers. In the between time, I’m building Christmas Tree night lights, along with other night lights (Caribbean, psychedelic and rainbow!) – all …
I’m Not Dead … Yet ;)
Sorry for the really long lapse between postings. The reasons are varied, but combine busy-overload with creative funk, along with a bit of cleaning and reorganizing. And … officially entering my 5th decade of life. OUCH! My family knows me so well … And they all came to celebrate with dinner and cake at our …
Mildly progressive …
Yep – I’ve been a mildly progressive BUM this week! I was helping DH with our pups, moving along stamp identification, making glass, cooking – oh, and catching the last rays of summer sunshine! [While Monday was cooler temps – so far we’re 5/5 days in the pool and I hope to add one more …
Oh My Goodness – It’s been a while …
I’m not dead … YET! It’s just been an absolutely INSANE few weeks! Lets recap: The twins turned 21 … SAGE WORDS: Life doesn’t get any easier as they age – Just Sayin’! I’ve got a kid in Ghana RIGHT NOW! It’s too long of a story to get into, but let’s all just say …
Down, but not out …
I’m working through a weird virus that has me sleeping most of my week away … Headache and body aches even through Motrin, when I’m awake. I’m feeling better today (only needed a 3 hour mid-day nap), so I’m on the mend … Which is perfect, as our Sheeba had her puppies today (4 days …
Cruisin’ Through Summer …
I’m still playing with my reverse enameling and stamps. A few more to finish and I will have a major coffin load of spoon rests & dishes. Tonight’s progress: I was painting while heating up our vit kiln for this brown/tan pull. Oops! Having said that … SOMEONE (DH) was right there with the …
Still Learning …
We had another vitrigraph pull this week … We’ve got a nice variety of cane going – while we continue to learn what to do and what not to do! Now, if SOMEONE would just finish making my cane-chopper! I played with a few recipes, too. We made tahini – which gives our 25+ year …
Hibernating in July
So, the house is back in order, thank goodness! Which should mean I’ve accomplished tons in the studio. Sadly, it’s not true. I spent the first three days this week convincing myself I did NOT have ER-acquired meningitis. Turns out, if one burns the candle at both ends for too long, [my] body goes into …
