Everything’s Roses ….
I’ve taught myself how to crochet. While I’m only mimicking YouTube videos at the moment, I will double down and learn how to read the directions! But, here’s what I made this week. This week was tough. I will be reevaluating, shoring up some ‘stuff’ and figure out the best way to move forward. …
Settling …
Back into routine after momentarily escaping. While I didn’t take any good photos in paradise – I did catch this neat one about 20,000 feet above Florida … So now I’ve been returned to my spot in the world, to successfully keep all sorts of plates spinning in the air. The plates that are struggling …
Christmas in July/August, Pup Watch and Oh …
Did I mention – I’M ON VACATION! And – have you seen that MOON? While we aren’t traveling anywhere – so it’s a working vacation – still, I’m HAPPY! (THAT MOON!!! Whew! SOO glad I’m not in the ER right now …) I’m splitting time working on fused glass Christmas ornaments with Kumihimo, playing with …

Oh, yeah – you betcha! But, I almost have the coffin kiln loaded with ornaments and ready to run. Look at what I made tonight … It’s ‘Ornament Central’ up in here … Why? I dunno …but I like it! The days are ticking down to the art show, and I still have so much …
Dusting off, while I (slowly) get back on the horse …
Dog-with-a-bone persistent … yep, that’s me. I cleaned out my coffin-kiln fiasco, and ran to my favorite glass supply store this week to stock up on iridescent glass. I will make some (amazing) irid platters, DANG IT! So, here we go … Take 2, scene 1: I also have my T.V. Picasso/zentangle cabs etched … …
WWU … WHINE
I don’t do whining. Can’t stand it. When a voice hits a certain octave, my lip snarls – all on it’s own. This is not a good ER nurse trait … I worked with a great crew this weekend, and it was pointed out several times how much more tolerant they are … Hmmm. I’ll …
Off to work I go …
I’m continuing to produce here in the studio … dichro pieces, blanks, nursing stuff … Now it’s time to take a break and actually be a nurse, dang it! Hoping for a smooth weekend … silly, I know, but … it could happen! Still needs work – colored glass border and final fusing – but …
