I think I ‘misthunk’ …Doh!
And it’s slowing me down. But – better safe than sorry. I was just about ready to run my ‘mosaic’ and frit coffin load when it occurred to me that I might want to full-fuse the bases to the tops (of about 1/2 of them) BEFORE I ‘tack fuse’ (a little hotter than that, but …
The calm before the storm …
So, the kids are officially on summer vacation. They’ve ALREADY started talk about things we should do, buy and partake in to ensure they’re properly entertained this Summer … Oy Vay! This started right after I asked them to remove the 80 pounds of back-packs and school papers from my counters, couches and stairs. At …
Amazing!!!
Both the good and bad kind: The good: I am in love with this – a Wireless Photo Upload card … I realize I take a lot of pictures – between dogs, kids, puppies, family and my fused glass/crafts. I’ve never understood folks who can use their camera SD card (or other storage card) for …
WWU – I work with some Nutty Nurses …
Of course, that means the night is NEVER dull, but … Wow! Meet Buddy, our ‘team mascot’ for the last shift of my weekend. Some nurses consider ANYTHING a patient gives them as a precious gift to be treasured … even PARASITIC BUGS! [An engorged tick for all you folks not up on your entomology] … Ugggghhhh! …
But Maaa – I don’t wanna ….

I’ve got the bug …
Well, actually I have TWO … the cold virus (BUG), as some lovely child felt compelled to sneeze into my face at work this weekend … But – what I’m talking about is I’ve reacquired the web design/developing bug … About 5 yrs ago, I got it, and taught myself enough to develop and run …
It’s chilly outside, but the kilns are kickin’
I’m working on some magnets … working out the design aspects of them, but in the meantime, some pot-melt ‘blanks’, some of the past ‘non-bowl’ stuff and some recycled (excuse me – up-cycled) bottles went into the kilns today, as well as a new pendant … Some of the completed bowls … And two …
Recent works
So – I’ve gone back to my ‘day job’ (I’m an ER nurse, and I work nights …), after being off for some time due to breaking my knee [long story that involves my 170# Neapolitan Mastiff – he’s a friendly, goofy, overly excited dog] … the older I get, the more I subscribe to my …
Hello world!
I’m taking advantage of some insomnia to create this web site of our glass designs – complete with blog. My studio was built this past February. Since then, I have come to love this space, even ‘living’ in it for a time in June when I broke my knee – as stairs were difficult to …
