I'm playing with sterling PMC for the first time in years. I had forgotten how much I loved it. It is amazing that a small lump of clay can be fired into a finished sterling silver piece. It doesn't look like much yet, but it is going to end up being a book charm for… Continue reading Playing In The Studio

Decent To Better
So, I'm still playing and trying to learn more of the ins and outs of the new software, though I don't have nearly enough time each day to play as much as I'd like. The above image is the altered version of the photo below. I wanted to see how much better I could make… Continue reading Decent To Better
Just A Hint
Here is a tiny peek at what I'm working on. It will be finished later today. So far, it is turning out really well. The next step is the part where it could all go wrong which is making me a nervous wreck. If I don't screw it up, this may just be one of… Continue reading Just A Hint
It’s That Time Again!
I'm in full on cake mode, working on BG's birthday cake. She still has no clue what I'm doing yet. This is going to be so fun if I can manage to pull it off. The cake got baked yesterday along with getting the icing mixed up. I have to make my fondant and start… Continue reading It’s That Time Again!
Epicness And F-Bombs
It isn't always clear on here, but I tend to be a huge potty mouth. Granted, I'm also a courteous and polite potty mouth and I don't cuss around people I don't know or aren't certain they are okay with cussing and is why I tend to keep it mostly clean on here. I also… Continue reading Epicness And F-Bombs
Best of 2019: Moments
Outside of photography and the books I read this last year, I thought I'd note a few of the bigger moments and highlights of my year, things that I did or experienced that I was really proud of or stuck with me as important moments. There will always be tons of those when it comes… Continue reading Best of 2019: Moments
On The Flip Side
I have only just now had a few moments to go through all the photos I took over the last several days. Nearly all of them are family related, but I did manage a minute or two to play with my new toy, a photography sphere. I'm going to have so much fun playing with… Continue reading On The Flip Side
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
May that jolly old elf bring you happiness, joy and all the good things in life!
Mom Version Of Drunk Dialing
We have a school day routine. I sleep while Hubby and the kids get ready for the day. Hubby lets me know when he's leaving and MC sends me a text when it gets to school so I know he made it alive. The last piece is when Hubby calls after he gets to work,… Continue reading Mom Version Of Drunk Dialing
Today’s Project: Outdoor Decorations
I'm breaking a bit with my normal tradition, which is to put up decorations the day after the US Thanksgiving. I decided I didn't want to risk trying to do this in sub-zero temps when I have a nice, mid 50s day to work on them now. Nothing will get turned on until the normal… Continue reading Today’s Project: Outdoor Decorations
Baking Day Playlist Sample
Taking a break and thought I'd share. When I'm in the kitchen working on a project, I almost always have music going. I also set my playlist with most all of my music with the exception of Christmas songs on random play. I love how I can change from one musical style and decade to… Continue reading Baking Day Playlist Sample
Sunshine Blogger Award
I'm kind of weird about these things and tend to just not do them if I'm nominated or tagged. I'm stepping out of that weirdness for a moment to participate in this one. If you are interested in all the reasons why I'm so weird about it, that is posted below the award piece. I… Continue reading Sunshine Blogger Award
This Is A Joke, Right???
I was trying to do some research to come up with some good book club questions for my reader and this... ad? Joke? Thing? showed up. Yes, someone actually published that and it doesn't look like a joke. People are just weird. Oh and that cover? Can you get any creepier and and freaky? Yes.… Continue reading This Is A Joke, Right???
Today’s Reading Partner
She normally finds some other place to hang out, but was apparently in a mood today. It didn't last long.
Such A Funny, Funny Guy
Last night MC came down when I was playing with getting my new tablet set up. I'm all focused on that when he asks me a question, so... absolutely distracted and not really listening. MC: I have a question about my calculus homework. Me: Hmm? What? *still not entirely paying attention* MC: I have a… Continue reading Such A Funny, Funny Guy
The Winning Tablet Is…
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 I actually didn't intend to go out and purchase this weekend, but I wanted to get my hands on my options so I could see how the size differences felt. When we went to the store, it was supposed to be only so that I could look and get a… Continue reading The Winning Tablet Is…
A Drunken Road
This road is along the very northern edge of the Door County peninsula of Wisconsin. I'm sure we would have run across it at some time as we tried to explore every inch of this area, but were told about it from the lady at a candy store (Uncle Tom's if you are really interested… Continue reading A Drunken Road
Insults: The New Spam
Apparently previous spam theories and techniques weren't working anymore. Now spammers are resorting to insulting post titles to get you to click on them. Really?! Sorry, I was just cleaning out the spam folder to make sure nothing got dropped there by mistake while I was gone and I ran across that one. As I'm… Continue reading Insults: The New Spam
It’s A Banana Bread (Muffin) Kinda Day
My family actually left me some bananas to work with again. I am stunned. And obviously in the mood to bake. I decided to do the mini-muffin version just for something different. The recipe is still the same, I just changed the cooking time to about 20 minutes. They do lean towards the lighter color… Continue reading It’s A Banana Bread (Muffin) Kinda Day
Another Proud Mama Moment!
MC just got his test score back for his AP Biology exam. He nailed a 5!!! Highest you can get and he was the only one in his class to do so. My boy is totally kicking high school's ass! We have a few days before he is supposed to get his AP statistics score,… Continue reading Another Proud Mama Moment!
Happy Blow Sh*t Up Day!
I'm probably lounging around the pool and chilling out with my Hubby and my kids right about now, but I thought I'd still give you some pretty for the day. This fireworks display brought to you by the sometimes crazy neighbors. Enjoy!
