Better Late Than Never …
I ran out of time last week to post. So, here I am in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, planning out my week ahead and reflecting on last week. We did a beautiful coe96 vit pull on Friday. Here are photos of the gorgeous red murrini from the cane, and the pull progression from …
2017 Goes Out with a Bang!
I got home from work Sunday morning (12/31/17) to find my studio furnace had died, literally exploding within itself. Fortunately, the damage was to the furnace only. My studio was a brisk 49 degrees, and the water lines didn’t freeze. Goodbye 2017 and goodbye furnace. As we roll into the 2nd day of 2018, I …
Computers & Cute Puppies
Spent 3-4 hours this week fighting with my new computer, Windows 10 and technology. Aaarrggh! I now realize nothing is compatible with Windows 10. Previously purchased (expensive) software programs (Corel, Excel, WinZip) need to be upgraded (‘at a discount’ … MY ARSE!), reinstalled, reconfigured … Good Lawdy! But, my computer, my files and my plotter …
Turning 29 and other news …
Celebrated another anniversary of ‘Turning 29’ … DH and I had a quiet week. I didn’t cook a single thing, and he made cake! Hmm, I might finally have this birthday thing figured out … We watched over our pups, who are slowly opening their eyes: I made some progress on my double-knit polka dot …
Gah! ~
It’s that time of year again! Yep, annual on-line nursing competency H.E.L.L. … To add to the fun, our educational expert decided to choose a print font visible only to the insect eye! And I’M the ONE getting tested for age-specific appropriate skills, tools and techniques?!? But, it’s over … for now! We had a …
Prepping for Harvest Fest
So, we will be off to Brighton Farmer’s Market Harvest Fest in T-7 hours … We put in some work, but we’re as ready as we’re gonna be! All but Chloe, that is … who managed to catch a few fading Summer-rays in the pool this week! (She does love her float!) PenDots and glass …
I Caused a Stir …
I didn’t mean to – I was just asking questions on a chat board – talking out loud, working through the process … But stuff got weird (picture THE most opinionated gathering of ER and ICU nurses – ‘sharing ideas’ … Oh YEAH – this glass group has got nothing on them! DOH!) Half way through …
Productive … and Leery
So far it’s been a good week in the studio. I finally have all 25 spoon rests completed! Yep, 19 one-of-a-kind colorful and 6 repeat designs (flowers) … So, now I need to photograph, aargh – my favorite! [Ummm, here are the first 9 red OOAK colors …] We’re also playing … Busted out the …
Nothing to do but plow through …
Lots going on … I turned 29 (again! … A few more of these birthdays, and I’ll be able to skip straight to social security); we had puppies(!!!); got through a weekend (work) tour with a particularly tough case; and we continue to prepare for our next show … Oh, I slept for 17 hours …
