While the crowns arrived late, they did get photographed.  For that, I am very grateful!  And on a completely different note: Look at this Glass Gem Popcorn!!!  My sister and her family live on 9 acres and have an awesomely huge garden each year.  I attempt to help.  But she bears the brunt of it.  We like growing Popcorn....a family favorite.  This year, we grew 5 different varieties.  All of them are lovely and memorizing (All those kernels!).  But this Glass Gem is in a league of it's own.  It really makes me want to get back out my lampworking supplies!!!Fun...

A recent customer, and professional Photographer, invited me to send a crown set to a stylized photoshoot she had scheduled.  The goal being that all vendors would receive copies of the photos, and images would be submitted for publicity to blogs, mags, websites, etc.. Super exciting, right?!  All things (life) considered, My crown set didn't ship out to her until Monday.  The Photoshoot is today...It was scheduled to be delivered yesterday.  But it didn't arrive.  It's out for delivery now...but the photoshoot is already taking place.  So now, the world will be stuck with my lack-luster photography skills :) Here's...

Clearly I have an unusual job. But really. How many people get to say that they glued themselves to their chair? 😲   A large bottle of un-capped superglue fell of a shelf as I walked by. It landed in my chair. I picked up the bottle and put it away. Not thinking much more about it, I sat down. .....and then tried to get up......   I'm un-stuck now. But that was an interesting few minutes.   Reminds me of the time I glued my fingers together. 😁

In some ways, things feel almost normal.  In other ways, not so much. For example.  Here is the view into my workshop: Virtual School.  Arthur on the left ---He's in 4th Grade now.  Georgia on the right.  She's now in 2nd.  Both kids attend a Spanish Immersion School.   So that's been interesting to maintain that skill during all of this...In the background, that's half of my workshop :)  I have some pretty awesome little coworkers.  The first few days were rocky.  But it's much improved now.  Overall, it's a much better experience from last Spring's E-Learning.    And while I usually...

Hello All.  So there was a post that I did last month, that I thought got posted...but turns out it was still "hidden" !  i was still on bee-sting meds during that, so I'll blame it on that :) Anyway, I'm chugging along here just fine.  Just enough business to keep things going.  I'm thankful.  I wanted to update you all, as my kids (2nd and 4th grade this year!!!) will be doing Virtual School.  As such, a lot of my day is soon going to be devoted to teaching again.  So please allow for a slightly slower turn-around time. ...
