Prepping for Harvest Fest
So, we will be off to Brighton Farmer’s Market Harvest Fest in T-7 hours … We put in some work, but we’re as ready as we’re gonna be! All but Chloe, that is … who managed to catch a few fading Summer-rays in the pool this week! (She does love her float!) PenDots and glass …
Can’t Stop It …
I know … I KNOW!!! I’m supposed to be cooking for TWO! I KNOW THIS ~ but, it can’t be stopped! I started with what I hoped would be a yummy, roasted cauliflower recipe (Pinterest strikes again!) … No offense, but it was just about mush, ready to be mashed cauliflower. Who does that? I’d make …
Not much news …
OK – a little bit of news … We’re prepping for (hopefully) the two shows we do each year (one confirmed, one pending) … I know we will be at Brighton Harvest Fest on 9/23 … come and say ‘Hi’, if you get the chance … So, I’m prepping inventory, boxing jewelry, etc. And, DH …
Marching On …
What an A$$-kicking week! Sent our youngest off for Boot Camp (x4 months). I can’t tell you how many times the ER nurse/Momma Bear in me was in conflict. But, he is 20 years old – makes his own decisions … and I couldn’t ‘ground him’ if I wanted to … And then, the evil-biologic …
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 …
Not sure if I’m coming or going …
Jeez Louise, my sleep schedule is a mess right now! Seems I’m embracing this menopausal-nuttiness. In between 10 hour slumbers, combined with a few blocks of no energy, I’m waking up after 3-5 hours, somewhere around 4am – wide awake and ready to DO STUFF. I tried to self-correct by pushing through an 18 hour …
Road trip, new family and a few projects
Started the week bringing a new family member home. Meet our boy, Greco, AKA Rrricco Suave. He’s a big goofy puppy, and DH loves his dorky ears (or lack thereof …)! His coat is so velvety soft! Now that we’re settling into a routine, I’m making stuff in the studio. A new batch of hot …
Having a clean studio ROCKS!!!
I have three kilns running and more projects planned. What a productive week … I worked on some jewelry, wrapping up a custom cab order. Here’s a double dichro dragonfly pendant moving along (in the kiln now for a fire-polish) and a couple of penDot rings! I have the coffin running with future spoon …
So, it takes a while …
I’m 3 days into it, but WOW! There is an actual studio under all of this!!! I’m thinking [hoping, praying … BEGGING!] one more day ought to do it. We’ll see … A few days ago, a fusing group on Facebook started posting studio-selfies, I mean videos – way cooler than selfies! [BTW – thank …
