Still prepping …

With 3 days to go before our show, I’m still playing with new ideas.  I’ll get these in the kiln tonight, and should still have time to get everything slumped, packed and ready to roll.  [Famous last words???]  But, wow – I like them! All three kilns running tonight (as I finally have the coffin …

Busy, busy … Good!

Holiday weekends sure are busy!  But overall good!  I have highlights: We have puppies!  (Of course it meant a long sleepless period … but look at those faces!!!) Momma Izz (Isabella) is doing great, eating and sleeping like a champ and her pups are growing before my eyes.  (And, we will catch up on sleep …

I did say crazy – Right?!?

Oh, yeah – you betcha!  But, I almost have the coffin kiln loaded with ornaments and ready to run.  Look at what I made tonight … It’s ‘Ornament Central’ up in here … Why?  I dunno …but I like it!  The days are ticking down to the art show, and I still have so much …

It’s crunch time …

The next 8 days are gonna be so crazy/busy … good thing I love stress! I have adorable kids to get me through! The babies will start moving on to their new homes starting next week … but, we are keeping one.  Since the twins are learning Spanish (so I am too – a little) …

I should know better …

than to play in my studio when I’m annoyed and tired.  But no … I’m waiting to see if the sun will come out (for a quick dip in the pool) before crashing – after a long, busy night at work – in order to go back for 12 more hours of fun tonight.  So …

Where does the time go???

Where’d the week go?  Can’t believe it’s Friday already!  Big family shin-dig to celebrate my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary later today … No studio time – but good family time. I have been producing in the studio.  Still on a pendant/badge reel kick … with the new kiln running twice a day.  And, my coffin …

Yeah, but …

The cool stuff is coming!!!  I have successfully survived 48 hours of being out in the A.M., with the rest of the DAY-Walkers, without spontaneously combusting.  I never said I was happy about it – cuz, I’m not.  I feel sick … big virus, hit by a ‘Mack-truck’, worse than any HANGOVER* sick.  My rhythm’s …

I’m on VACATION!!!

A working vacation, but still … As I sat yesterday morning, nursing my after-work ‘night-cap’, DH [lovingly] said, “You look tired.”  And it’s true, I was – physically tired.  But mentally, I’ve been creating list upon lists of things I want to get done, should get done and NEED to get done over these next 2 weeks.  …

“Date Night”

The twins have reached another milestone … at least in our school district.  Today marks the 8th grade field trip – to Cedar Point.  This is a pretty old tradition (DH and I both went when we were in 8th grade … umm, CENTURIES ago!)  But it always makes me nervous, the thought of my …

It’s Puppy Time …

Whew … Sienna’s pups have made their grand entrance – fashionably late … At 2am Sienna finally entered the last stages of labor – and she wasn’t happy about it.  We paced the floors, went outside, came back in, paced some more – then repeated this routine… Just about the time I was starting to …
