I’m on VACATION!!!
A working vacation, but still … As I sat yesterday morning, nursing my after-work ‘night-cap’, DH [lovingly] said, “You look tired.” And it’s true, I was – physically tired. But mentally, I’ve been creating list upon lists of things I want to get done, should get done and NEED to get done over these next 2 weeks. …
Back in my studio …
Had a full day out and about, but ending with some happy time in the studio. Went to the crime lab ‘Meet & Greet’ … imagine a room full of SANE nurses, social workers and a few lawyers against one lone crime lab director. He did great(!) and I’m hopeful more positive process changes will …
But Maaa – I don’t wanna ….
I’m on such a productive roll in the studio – I don’t wanna go back to work, darn it! [Arms crossed with pouty face!] I have pictures: Finally got some badge reel photos taking in prep for listing in the shops: I have the coffin loaded (and RUNNING!) for new bowls (slumping): I …
Flop, but it’s ok …
It’s all valuable learning … I continue to putter and play with recycled bottle pieces … The vase experiment was a total flop. Oops – totally wrong temperatures. I’m giving up trying that again (for now) as I think it’s a lost cause due to the nature of glass in a kiln (wanting to be 1/4 …
Hmmm … not so much
Day 2 of my self-imposed tax time-out didn’t fair so well … How can anyone concentrate when surrounded by such cute four-legged kids? I have pictures … Zeus loves babies – He couldn’t get enough of Yogi Bear (4.5 wk old Yorkie): And Zonie loves ‘posing’ AND really wanted to play with Mia: …
Just say NO!
… to GREEN VOMIT! Seriously – if you love an ER nurse (or have any RESPECT at all – and you REALLY SHOULD, as we have access to all sorts of sharp objects, good drugs, and tubes for every orifice …) you will be a responsible leprechaun this weekend. Do not drink and drive, and for …
Relaxed, playing–and on a roll …
A great couple of evenings with my kids (both the two and four-legged kind), my kilns and my studio has me rolling into the weekend feeling great! I have pictures: Romp time with the pooches … DH caught a quick pic, calling me the ‘dog whisperer’. The last remaining (Neo) pups are moving on …
Cold studio … But
… I am ready for Christmas II (with my dad’s side of the family) … Yep, the house is in order, presents made and wrapped (I can FINALLY put away my wrapping paper for the year), laundry ALL caught up (no small feat with a family our size), puppy photo-shoot/correspondence complete for the week … …
Postponed …
Christmas (with my dad) has been pushed back – his household has ‘the crud’ (URI). And while I love him very much, I would prefer he keep that to himself (and my uncle is immuno-compromised due to transplant). So … another week of playing in the studio! WWU – Steady but not painfully so. Lots …
This Elf is Ready for a Break
I’ve been working hard this week … shipping packages daily, cranking out personalized ornament orders (both of which I love), getting the computers talking to each other (networked – so I can access pictures/info in the new studio), loading drivers and photo-editing programs, cooking … WHEW! And – I still have some Christmas shopping to …
