Whew, praise Jesus!  We are all gonna make it!  I could gripe about the trauma and drama involved with keeping one spousal unit and two teenage kids on task; or describe the frantic knitting and then felting escapade (had to wash those slippers FIVE times to finally get them the same and correct size!); or …

Nora and I went swimming yesterday …

Well, actually – Nora was frantically trying to stay on top of the water and I jumped in to get her … in our pond … knee-deep in muck … IN THE COLD! When she didn’t come running back to the deck with the rest of our Yorkie crew, I started to worry.  I don’t know what …

The mad scientist … ???

Or the Mad Hatter … or just plain crazy.  Whatever …  The experiments continue!  I do love the day of the internet!  Much to the annoyance of DH (… and my accountant … and my bank account …).  Sooo much to learn!  I have [quite] a few different experimental pots brewing on the (bunsen) burners: …

Goodnight Magnolia Rose …

Thank you! My Angel … My Brat … My Peanut Buttercup … My Fat Butt … We ended things our way – and I have to thank you, again, for that! 

Beyond baby steps …

Minute by minute??  Yeah – that’s about right.  Here’s the scoop:  My grandma is rallying; She has a trach, peg tube, foley and a tube in her gallbladder; per the specialist doctors (rehab), she suffered a major neurologic event at some unknown time …  Is she down and out?  Nope – NOT My Grandma.  She’s …

Just because …

This post is just because I can!  And – because I have a few photos to share … I’ve been a busy beading-ninja!  I’m working on bracelets and pins/pendants and wire-wrapping, OH MY!  Here are a couple of bracelets – one done and one a work-in-progress:         And, SHHHHHH – don’t tell anyone, but I’m …

Before it begins …

Let me just take a moment to say ~ regardless of how shameless it is … I love how varied my Etsy shop listings are looking right now.  And – public awareness moment:  We have only 55 days until Christmas … Just sayin’!!! But – here’s where I’ll start to get nutty:  I have 2 …

My little Peanut …

Playing with frit again.  Here’s a tweaked picture of my Maggie Rose – from a few years ago, before she got chubby.  [The poor girl has so many nicknames: Mags, Peanut, Fat-Butt, Magnolia Rosebud … she comes to all of them – especially when food is involved.]  Anyway, here’s my glass rendition … fusing in …

Have I mentioned? …

I LOVE MY STUDIO!!!  I told DH ‘I’ll see you on Saturday’ … and I was only half-joking! My plotter has arrived, she’s installed and after 5 days of confusion, electronic and software grief … she’s up and running.  I LOVE IT!!!  I have days upon days of learning  to do/knowledge/experience to acquire – but …

Must have needed it …

I slept 15 hours.  Hmm – I must have needed it! WWU:  Summer busy, without the pretty weather.  Nothing major, just lots of volume, and a little full-moon-crazy thrown in for fun.  But – I did discover ‘Cabbage Crack’ – and I’m in love … OK, so it’s officially called Napa Cabbage Salad, and yes, …
