Hello … Spring???
Where are you? Michigan and spring are so NOT-IN-TUNE with each other … So, while we’re experiencing frequent snowfall in between teaser-weather days, I’ve been cooking. We made Seafood Alfredo, a big pot of Spinach Sausage Bean soup (with added vegetables), and tonight we tried Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Pesto – with a substitute … …
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 …
Ahead of the Game …
Haha! OK, kind of … for the moment! But, I’m on top of my post – so there’s that. News: We are officially EMPTY NESTERS. Baby boy moved into his apartment this week … Wow! 27 years of motherhood (including pregnancy) … DONE!!! [I know, it’s never done until I’m dead, but … STILL!] AND …
Slump and a kick-start!
So, I’ve been quiet. I usually don’t get that way for too long …. I was in a creative slump. Apparently, I was feeling stressed. But now, with ENPC (Emergency Nurse Pediatric Course) and a large chunk of of nursing competencies completed … I feel better. The fact that I can say ‘see you next …
First time this year …
I finally have all three kilns running! Spoon rests, night lights, bowls/plates galore! And, I did a little painting tonight. We’ll see what the kiln gods think … but I like what I have started. I didn’t care for the diluted bubbles the necessary shims made in my last attempt, so now I’ve added a …
Chainmail and glass …
Means I’m one happy girl. I broke down on Monday and purchased an instant download tutorial for a weave that I’ve liked but couldn’t quite figure out (felt like I needed 3 more sets of hands to complete). And now, I am a Four Winds mailing fool! Here are some earrings (with stainless steel, copper …
More good stuff … coming
I’ve been playing a bit in the studio, and doing a wee bit of shopping. Someone has copper enameling equipment coming. [Shhhh – don’t tell DH!] And, a few new molds and glass from my favorite glass shop. Maybe I have some stands from NC on the way. Oh – and possibly a couple bails …
Prayers & 3 kilns running …
And while I continue to take moments throughout the day to offer up prayers to the families and community in Connecticut, I go on about my business. Did I give my kids extra hugs? You bet! We had our family time at the dinner table over home cooked Shrimp Alfredo and finished with our nightly …
Oops – I’m doing it again …
I apparently can’t help it and I don’t THINK there’s a med for it … I’m scoping out a new hobby and chomping at the bit! Since DH has put a temporary kibosh on the ‘L’ addition to the studio (so – no room for a potter’s wheel yet!) … I’ve found something interesting that’ll …
22 Years of Wedded Bliss …
OK – not always. But we do have our moments … Like – now. While granting me some alone/studio time, DH is making dinner, while the twins babysit the den (pups). Awww … And, I’ve got to show off the sweet card he gave me. Yeah – that would be his ‘southpaw’ chicken- scratch declaring …
