It’s the little things …
My new baby kiln arrived – and I love her! Fired her up last night and drove home the point that I have a new kiln to learn (each kiln has their own heating personalities, preferences, etc.) … DOH! If I’d been thinking, I wouldn’t have loaded so many pieces, among a few other key …
Sometimes I don’t like people very much … AKA WWU
Wow … I’m sooo glad this weekend is over! Way too many recreational (=CODE for drug and alcohol related) injuries for my liking. There is a subtle (ummm, NOT!) difference in working at my ‘lil Country-Club ER … folks (including the drunk and/or high ones) expect superb customer service – even while they’re dropping ‘F-bombs’ …
Better …
I’m starting to have slightly more reliable results with my new glass techniques, but still struggling with consistency (- although, I AM getting better at working in the dark with light-sensitive materials and glass. I only cut myself 3 times tonight!) … We’ll get there, but here’s what I have for now: On an upbeat …
The calm before the storm …
So, the kids are officially on summer vacation. They’ve ALREADY started talk about things we should do, buy and partake in to ensure they’re properly entertained this Summer … Oy Vay! This started right after I asked them to remove the 80 pounds of back-packs and school papers from my counters, couches and stairs. At …
Back in my studio …
Had a full day out and about, but ending with some happy time in the studio. Went to the crime lab ‘Meet & Greet’ … imagine a room full of SANE nurses, social workers and a few lawyers against one lone crime lab director. He did great(!) and I’m hopeful more positive process changes will …
Amazing!!!
Both the good and bad kind: The good: I am in love with this – a Wireless Photo Upload card … I realize I take a lot of pictures – between dogs, kids, puppies, family and my fused glass/crafts. I’ve never understood folks who can use their camera SD card (or other storage card) for …
Umm … Happy Nurse’s Week!
Wow – this weekend kicked some butt (namely mine) … From young adults on hallucinogenics to extended family with unsafe vitals, throw in a fellow co-worker getting SICK (requiring-ER-care sick!) to bike accidents that won’t soon be forgotten – all intermixed with ‘FLU’ complaints … I am SO GLAD my ‘tour’ is over! (My week …
Pressed Flowers …
Cuz, you know – I had to look into it. Pretty cool! Quick, easy and should look great in my papers … I walked around the yard, collecting bits of Spring flowers and interesting leaves: Then popped my samples into this ‘lil thing (Microfleur press), nuked them for less than a minute … and Voila! …
Time flies …
I can’t believe it’s Thursday ALREADY … Where’d the week go? The good news – I finally have my chores done for the week – so tomorrow is ALL MINE! (I even sound like a [2 year old] brat, don’t I??? Mine, mine, MINE! … Oh well – I’m okay with it! ) DH has …
