It’s raining, it’s pouring

But I’ll take it over snow, anyday! This post is a work-in-progress – like so many things in life … to be followed-up-upon later. It’s 2am.  I’ve had such a ‘highs and lows’ kind of day:  Major insomnia, combined with web design had me enthralled ‘til about 4am last night.  I was on a roll, …

Good news/Bad news …

So – the good news is … I am plunging forward with my own fused glass website – php, MySQL, CSS and all.  ‘Course it’s very time consuming, as I barely understand what I’m doing, but that’s ok … when my head starts spinning – I step away. The bad news … since I really …

Off to work I go …

I’m continuing to produce here in the studio … dichro pieces, blanks, nursing stuff … Now it’s time to take a break and actually be a nurse, dang it! Hoping for a smooth weekend … silly, I know, but … it could happen! Still needs work – colored glass border and final fusing – but …

Blah … but …

Feeling a little blah today … I’m sure our gray overcast sky has something to do with it – along with the cooler-than-I’d-like temperatures.  Plus it’s Friday, which means work tomorrow.  Where did the week go?  We’ve been busy with Neo puppies getting to their new homes this week.  Had a couple fly out, which …

Contentment

Ahh … peace and quiet.  The fam is all out of the house for a few hours, my chores are done – for the moment … how wonderful!  We had a beautiful day, weather-wise … teaser Michigan weather, which means an ice storm should be on it’s way soon.  But still, a beautiful day today!  …

Good news …

The tax man says the kilns can keep kickin’ … YAY!!  I’ll be learning some new business concepts (COGS = cost of goods sold vs. inventory, raw materials and supplies), but I love learning … As long as I get to keep playing in glass! It’s a good thing too, since I have another shipment …

Den update and studio time …

The Neo pups have started in on gruel … and they love it!  Of course, they  have to wear as much as they eat.  And more times then not, they climb right into the bowl, as it apparently tastes better that way!  In between eating, there is still lots of sleeping and growing going on …

I’m back …

The to-do list has shrunken to an acceptable level … this means my kilns have been running!  YAY!!  I have a large blank cooling in the production kiln and bottles slumping in the coffin, as I type.  Oh, I like this MUCH better!  The new color combinations and finished-product ideas are flowing (haha) like crazy …

Studio News …

I’ve gotten a few pendants and badge reels pulled together … just quick projects.  And I continue to re-photo some ‘older’ pieces – as I realize now just how horrible the lighting was in some of my initial listings …        It keeps me busy and close to Olivia – who is going …

Meanwhile …

Not to be left out of our ‘puppy-nursery-overload’ … Mr. Yoda Kei: Is growing tooth buds, and putting all that ‘kissing’ technique to good use … he is teaching his littermates the joys of ‘gruel’ (puppy formula mixed with can food) … and lovin’ it!  Momma Monet still pops in to the Yorkie nursery for …
