Help … My studio needs cleaning!
But, I don’t want to stop making stuff … This is crazy … I have hundreds of dollars worth of dichroic glass balancing precariously on teetering molds [umm, multiple molds], while I shuffle jars of frit from here-to-there, to make room for etching cream … on the cutting mat, off the cutting mat … move …
Puppies, pendants and dandelions …
Oh my! Put in a full day at DTW yesterday (13 hours) … thank you central scheduling! But, we now have extended family in WA, VA, MO, NC and TX (as well as OH, IN, WI NY and MI). All the pups did great! We have one last pup here to play with (Stella), before …

And – I still have some Christmas shopping to …
Up, down, up, down
Up at 9p yesterday, back to sleep at 5am. Airport runs and errands, then back to my ‘own schedule’ for a day or two (while being on-call, so who knows …?) Then up at 6am (did I say A.M. ?!?) on Friday for a vet surgical appointment (two of our Neo’s have cherry eyes – …
Time marches on …
Feeling a little blah this week … maybe it’s preparing for winter hibernation (mine) or mentally preparing to acknowledge another birthday … anyway, not much in the studio by way of creativity. It’s been a busy week too though – DARN SANE meeting (people suck!), appointments, airport runs, voting, lots of emails and phone calls …
