Sunshine …THANK YOU!!!
It was wayyy too early to start feeling S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) … but with 4 days of cloudy-gloom in AUGUST – that’s what was happening! So thank you sunshine for appearing! DH and the kids thank you too! My time in the studio was also much needed – and productive: Spoon rests cut; A …
Tiptoe through the …
No, not tulips … Puppies! The gang’s all here. Zonie started having her babies in the wee hours of Tuesday morning (about 4am) … Now, some 36 hours later (we all got some sleep), we are settling into a great routine of ‘life on the outside’ … In case you’re having trouble counting … …
Wish me luck …
Time to take a deep breath and hit the week running … In between the demands of daily driver’s ed for the twins, our puppy nursery (9 days old today), our canine ante-partum nursery (Mama Zonie is due this week), photography, shipping glass packages (love that), and working “Mom’s Diner” – I’ve got the DARN …
Of Course …
Of course it’s starting now(!) … My Neapolitan Mastiff mom has started stage one of labor – on Saturday, when I have to go to work. And – WE were going to see the new Batman movie … but now, ‘Fatty’ and I are pacing, heavy breathing, repositioning and pacing some more while the rest …
Umm … Happy Nurse’s Week!
Wow – this weekend kicked some butt (namely mine) … From young adults on hallucinogenics to extended family with unsafe vitals, throw in a fellow co-worker getting SICK (requiring-ER-care sick!) to bike accidents that won’t soon be forgotten – all intermixed with ‘FLU’ complaints … I am SO GLAD my ‘tour’ is over! (My week …
Dogs … they make me smile!
Had to share a few quick pics … two of Bandido, our Neo pup and one from facebook that just made me smile: Now it’s time for Fish Fry with the family … then off to the studio!!!
Productive … but not with glass
Darn it! But – I did just pay the bills. “The house is ours for another 30 days, honey” – I yelled out to DH, as I do every month. And, I saw my primary care physician today … I get to enjoy reduced premiums for another year. Plus – I’ve lost a couple of …
Workin’ it out …
I’ve got all sorts of mixed media ideas … so now begins the trial phase. Between embossing and painting, metal and glass (stained and fused) … Wow! I’m eager to try my own spin on this print: In the meantime, I decided to frame/hang my tree of life experiment. I plan to make another – …
Squawkers galore …
Sienna started having her pups about 3 hours after my last post. I quickly recognized that we were in for the ‘all day’ plan .. so Tuesday was spent reassuring mom; catching babies, tying umbilical cords; enticing Mom with vanilla ice cream, hot dogs and canned food; trips in and out of the house – …
