So, I have a little of this and a little of that to report on: The twins will be heading off to camp shortly. So, DH and I will be ‘empty nesters’. Sort-of … but not. Our four-legged family has grown. Blondie had her babies (in under 19 hours!) and I took a quick shot …

Lost heat out in the studio. Darn too-small propane tank anyway! I’ve talked to DH about getting a real (house sized) one out there … maybe now is the time. It’s a balmy 44 degrees in there right now. Without water (drained the pipes in preparation for Snowmageddon). Of course! I have 3 custom orders …

I’m also making more ornaments – because, it …

I’ve been playing a bit in the studio, and doing a wee bit of shopping. Someone has copper enameling equipment coming. [Shhhh – don’t tell DH!] And, a few new molds and glass from my favorite glass shop. Maybe I have some stands from NC on the way. Oh – and possibly a couple bails …

Fun time at Highland HeyDays … and we did okay, too. DH ‘manned the booth’ for me today, as I spent 24+ hours awake on Saturday. The music was good (some great, some – interesting), although a bit loud. Weather was beautiful on Saturday, and DH was grateful for the tent during today’s rain. While …
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 …
