All Fired Up
Here we are!
Yes, we made it. Still haven't found some of the things that were packed ... but we are here. Wondered for a while whether we'd make it, but thank God for good movers, fast friends and my relations! It took all of that to get us here ... ...
It’s here already!
I know, who would believe it? The Studio Moving Sale is on tomorrow (Saturday, May 19th, noon - 4:00 pm) ... what a rush it has been to get everything ready! We're down to the wire here. The move is in 2 and a half weeks. We are up to our asses...
The count-down is on!
It's been madness here. I'm packing up things I forgot I had. Boxes are piling up in every corner. We're all confused, can't find the cutlery, the kitchen is in chaos ... and the count-down is on! At the same time I'm getting ready for the big...
Rumour has it …
There's a rumour going around that we are moving. It's a rumour no more, we can actually consider that a fact now! You see, I finally have the perfect kitchen: And the perfect bathroom: You've seen the pictures of the family...
Back in the Saddle
That's right. Classes start back up again this week, Tuesday to be exact. And this session I'm doing Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. I don't know how that even happened. Promised myself I'd only do Tuesday and Thursday, must have been some...
The last firing of 2017
It's done. Just turned on the last kiln load for 2017. I'd be sentimental about it, but I'm glad to see the backside of 2017. If you've been reading my posts all along, you have an inkling about what I'm on about ... but if you haven't -- it's been a...
‘Tis the Season
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3h6eKTGhdE Yes. It's the season to be jolly, and perhaps, a mite exhausted! I went to bed last night at 7:30. Skipped the Friday night hockey game (not such a hardship when it's bloody cold out), had a night...
A funny thing happened …
Those of you who are as old as me will be finishing that opening with 'on the way to the forum' ... but in my case it's actually 'at the craft show'! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuxT-ZpqH4w The number of people who came out to see me at the "Make it Indie"...
It’s better in Ireland …
Honest, that's what I heard for most of the time I was in Ireland -- the Irish telling me how much better certain things are there than here. So here's my list of what I found to actually be better in Ireland. I'll probably think of a few more things as...
I missed you (or, two funerals and a heart attack)
Actually didn't know whether to make the title of this blurb "I missed you", or "two funerals and a heart attack". Both are true. Yes, that's me, looking through a gap at the Hore Abbey in Cashel. That's where the two funerals were. I missed the...
