Getting Stuff Done …
Slowly, but surely! We did a bit of spring cleaning in the studio, as my packaging room was over-run with more boxes than I would ever need for shipping. There is no before photo, but trust me – it was crazy out-of-control. And, I tried to reorganize one of my storage/display shelves … There is …
Love Those Date Nights …
So we made the soup last week – the creamy cabbage kielbasa soup. It was delicious! And then I moved on to some studio cleaning and glass slumping. I had a small mishap with my spoon rests, as it’s been ages since I re-applied kiln wash, so after ruining 3, I’m prepping those molds with …
Just a couple more days …
Even with less than cooperative Michigan summer weather, I’m having a great stay-cation. I have a couple more days of ‘bumming’ before heading back to the ER this weekend … In the meantime, we had our coe90 ‘carnival’ pull. Here is the stack, with the resulting murrini and cane. We had a family gathering …
On The Mend …
I think we are finally getting well (no more URI-crud) and moving in the right direction, creativity-wise. I’ve moved my fun and colorful spoon rests along. I have two more (coffin kiln) loads to go – but here’s the first batch. These will need to go back into the kiln, another trip to the saw …
No Rest for the Elves …
Here at Clayton Hill. It’s all good, I wouldn’t have it any other way! Tubby had her babies – 7 beautiful, healthy, fat pups joined our gang on Saturday. DH and I are smoothing out the process of providing 24/7 pup-watch coverage for mom and babies, while still getting chores and jobs done. As it’s …
Et … VOILA!!!
Just like that – Thanksgiving is over; We had a recipe-FAIL; and I’m missing a decent portion of the tip of my thumb. VOILA! For a hot second, DH was ‘proud’ of himself for pulling together Artichoke Spinach Pinwheels … the link shows you what they should have looked like. Our version was HUGE, with …
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 …
Amazing!
I got a wee bit side-tracked today. My new phone arrived – and I had some learning to do. Samsung Galaxy S8+ … Oh My Goodness … I love it! I’ve been taking pictures, pictures – and more pictures! What an awesome phone camera!!! Little to no photo-editing to correct colors or lighting needed … …
Momma got her Flock together …
Yep! We got all four of our kids together (along with my sister, brother-in-law and niece, my dad and stepmom, my grandpa and my mother-in-law) for a family dinner. I’m a happy girl! The twins turn 20 in just a few days, our oldest will be 25 in a few weeks, followed by our oldest …
Summer Lovin’ …
DH surprised me tonight by suggesting a vit pull. Aww … Thanks, babe! So – we did. It’s Bullseye aqua, teal, steel blue, emerald green, powder blue, warm white and clear. I’m happy with the results! And then, I stole a few hours for enamel projects … I love the cat & dog spoon rests. …
