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 …

I’ve put my insomnia to good use. Maybe. I think. I opened another E-store. This one is on my Facebook page … AND – since I don’t have to pay any extra fees, neither do you! So, lower prices. Plus I’m offering my necklaces there before listing them anywhere else. Since it’s a trial run, …

(S)he sleeps. Or, I slept … in the non-Pretty-Woman version of the tale. But, ya know, it’s still a happy ending. Crashing for 14 hours after a week long bout of insomnia, with 4 hour ‘cat naps’ in between several undesired periods of 24 hours of wakefulness. Apparently, I was testing something in my system. …

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 …

Or the Mad Hatter … or just plain crazy. Whatever … The experiments continue! I do love the day of the internet! Much to the annoyance of DH (… and my accountant … and my bank account …). Sooo much to learn! I have [quite] a few different experimental pots brewing on the (bunsen) burners: …

What a week! I’ve been taking serious advantage of insomnia. I have 3 kilns running, and so much to report … Here’s what I worked on tonight: Fingers crossed it turns out as promising as I hope! And, I finished my fish ‘sculpture’ … the Twins gave it a ‘thumbs up’, and it’s kinda growing …

I have three kilns running! Yea BABY!!! More platters, dichro cabs (with some requested Angels), and a few experiments. Love it! And, I’ll have a de-bubble run coming later this week. Yep, moving along … Slept some 18 out of 28 hours(! – I know, right?!?) – so, I’m over the trauma …

but – still being productive. After seven phone calls, I have the next doctor’s appointment set, this time with an academic dermatologist (yeah, I didn’t realize there are different types either) … I see him in 6 weeks. Lordy, here’s hoping everything stays stable and the fever stays at bay. As a healthcare worker – …

Mixed results in the studio today, but overall – I’m happy. My irid platters are cooling in the kiln as I type … but that didn’t stop me from catching a quick peak/picture: HaHa!!! Much better … not perfect, but I like them! And, I have a mini tray fire-polishing in the little kiln. We’ll …

WWU: A study in contrasts. All I can say is this – I had the pleasure of caring for “Satan’s Bride” (NO amount of pillow fluffing was satisfactory) AND the stoic “Farmer’s Wife” [… Sure – I’m SICK, but I’m not dead yet – so, it must be okay (in other words – this patient …
