I used some of our 96 murrini to make a couple of pendants. They’re cute (!) and they proved to me they are fire-safe/stable. So – check for cane listings in our shop and on our FB page! And, it’s that time of year! Yep – Sangria Weather. So – I made up a vat, …

Well, because I can! I’ve been fiddling with these all week. While making more components and parts … DH seems to think I should make some type of ‘ocean scene’ … Hmmm But, I’m being nice as the poor guy turns the big 5-0 on Sunday! Good golly someone is getting old! The twins …

Sums up my studio week. Throw in some pool time, pooch time, a couple of meals and a whole lot of sleep … yep, that’s what I did! (Alright, I also picked about 4 pounds of beans from the garden, along with zucchini and cucumbers. Those beans have me totally rethinking the raised-bed-garden idea!) Finished …

Thank goodness for sunshine, pool-time and Summer! I am officially over this past (nursing) weekend! I’ve also played a bit in the studio: Freeze-N-Fuse … It’s been 3+ years since I last fiddled with the technique. Much better results this time around! So, ya know … more ideas! I’m also playing with my plotter, working …

Cheesy, I know … But – I’m happy! I have all three kilns ROCKIN’ (Hummmm … Click … CLACK!!!)! I’m getting some custom items moving along … [Plus – a few future badge reels I’d like to dedicate to all ‘Nurses who boycott The View/JB/WG’ … SNARL!] Finally got around to photographing some shop listings …

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 was going to try to leave it at that, but – a quick word of advice. Regardless of how much you’ve scoured WebMD for bizarre diagnoses, please do not come into the ER seriously expecting your triage nurse to confirm your ‘suspicions’ regarding your loved one within the first 5 seconds of your arrival. …

While I feel like I’m barely moving, I am producing. I’ve been taking pictures and working on listings (not my favorite) in between playing in the studio. Here are some photos from today: And, while we wait to hear about this winter’s show schedule (I’ll let you know where we’ll be …), I’m …

DH and I are making baby steps towards bringing the new studio computer on-line, so that we can lay to rest the seriously ill, old computer. Umm, the new one has Windows 8.1. I feel like a geriatric patient …“I don’t DO computers … or VCR’s … or digital watches.” We WILL figure this …

in bits and spurts. I am having too much fun! But, to be fair – I did work a 24 hour nursing tour, played with puppies, marinated in the pool, paid bills, touched base with my 22 year old birthday girl, and got a nap or two … Now that I’ve shared …
