Summertime Happiness
What a great week! We made some changes to the garden this year, adding five 4’ x 4’ raised beds, instead of the one 15 foot bed that I thought I had successfully negotiated for … Why? … Because, DH found these ‘ready made’ containers – and thought they would be easier/cheaper … Silly man! …
Oh My Goodness – It’s been a while …
I’m not dead … YET! It’s just been an absolutely INSANE few weeks! Lets recap: The twins turned 21 … SAGE WORDS: Life doesn’t get any easier as they age – Just Sayin’! I’ve got a kid in Ghana RIGHT NOW! It’s too long of a story to get into, but let’s all just say …
And, back to reality …
Paradise was … well ~ PARADISE! A great sun-filled escape! We arrived back to find our homestead still standing, all two and four-legged family healthy. So, unpacked – but still sporting a bit of sunshine color, it’s time to get back into the grind. While I haven’t fired up my kilns yet, I do have …
Murrini, Funshine & Pups
I used some of our 96 murrini to make a couple of pendants. They’re cute (!) and they proved to me they are fire-safe/stable. So – check for cane listings in our shop and on our FB page! And, it’s that time of year! Yep – Sangria Weather. So – I made up a vat, …
Pool Time, Dinner and the Cowbell …
Dinner with the (high school) girls, along with a bit of pool time this week, and – Oh, life is good! [Thanks ladies!!!] My kilns are cooking (photos to come), and I’ve got my next vit stack ready. Shooting for an ocean/water scheme, and I’m hopeful we can have our pull before heading back to …
T.G.I Summer!!!
Finally – some Michigan sunshine! Chloe met the big pool. We even tried getting her in, to float on a raft … Based on the flailing and wrestling match to get her back on the deck, I’d say she didn’t like it. So, she has her own wading pool on the deck … which she …
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 …
Birthday Twins
The twins turned 18 years old yesterday. Yep, the BABIES! While I realize as a parent, my job is never really over – and, the twins still have their senior year of high school to navigate … But, can I just say – HOT DIGGITY DOG! I win!!! No one is pregnant, in jail, on …
Cleaning and procrastinating …
DH is helping me get back to glass … He built a new work station with MEGA frit storage. Awww – check it out! (Not quite done … but close enough for photos!). The other end has larger cubbies to store all of my enamels! SWEET!!! Thanks, Honey! So, while I haven’t fired up the …
Feeling Bummed–but working through it …
Tough ER nursing weekend … I was in in charge (yeah, BAD idea) with lots of summer folks (volume – fortunately NOT acuity – PRAISE JESUS!) … Thank Goodness for some great staff, but I don’t like changing hats that frequently. Add too many bodies to count (patients PLUS their ‘posse’) – all wanting water, …
