It’s not all tax prep …
While DH and I are pushing to meet the deadline, sifting through papers and tallying columns … we’ve done a few other things too. I made a cute owl/crackle plate. So now I have a poppy version in the works … And we have pups … adorable squishy-faced love. Xena loves her babies … Victor …
Darn Wings Anyway …
Wow – this elbow thing hurts! The mutant limb aches from my thumb up to my bicep … So – it MUST be healing … RIGHT?!? Grrrr … A measly few items from the studio to share, as I have spent much more time with the Netflix, AMC and History channels … I am SOOO …
Good Times – because I have a sailboat and a fat pad …
On x-ray, that is … Which means I have a fractured arm …Yep, good times! Full of grace and good manners, we went to a retired-fuser’s home this week to see what she was selling.

Waiting … and playing
While I wait for my production kiln to ‘spit out’ the last paintings, I’m playing with night lights, finger bowls, spoon rests and tapestry. I am loving my studio! I want to make more and more and more … Crap! … I have work coming up (Dog-gone it!…). But, DH had us down in Detroit earlier this …
Home Stretcchhh …
Whew, praise Jesus! We are all gonna make it! I could gripe about the trauma and drama involved with keeping one spousal unit and two teenage kids on task; or describe the frantic knitting and then felting escapade (had to wash those slippers FIVE times to finally get them the same and correct size!); or …
