I&#8217;ve really got to get this train back on the tracks, don&#8217;t I? I&#8217;ve had my nose buried behind a camera for months now (years it seems!) in an effort to put an entire retail store online. Sigh. At times it seems like a long, dusty train ride [...]]]></description>

Anytime there has been a long lampworking dry spell I find myself looking for excuses not to venture into my cold, dank lampworking space. Obviously today it was photography :->. The good news, though, is I still have tons of beads already made and I have been working on getting them placed in the online [...]]]></description>

I remember when my mother-in-law would defend the nutrition of the bag of Cheetos she had just given my 2 year old by exclaiming with a gleam in her eye &#8220;it&#8217;s nutriitious! It&#8217;s full of cheese!&#8221; I must be embracing my golden age as I just rationalized substituting THIS for a portion of fruit for [...]]]></description>

We took a trip to Ikea yesterday to investigate cabinetry for our kitchen and my work studio. For those of you who have never been to Ikea it is a surreal experience. Much like going to Disneyland without the rides or the fun, oh, and the people movers are of the manual type (as in [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s hard to believe that we had torrential amounts of rainfall less than a week ago. The last few days the sun has been shining and it has been absolutely gorgeous. Just enough warmth to make you close your eyes and raise your face to the sun to drink it in. 
I&#8217;m slowly adding new [...]]]></description>

Well, irreversible except to dump it [...]]]></description>

There is also a lot of debris that had been carried by the flood waters still littering the town. The last news report I heard stated the [...]]]></description>

&#8216;Wringing&#8217;in the New Year in Napa (or is it wringing out?). For those of you who have been to Napa, this is the intersection at Monticello Road/Trancas and Silverado Trail. This was Saturday afternoon after the water had receded a bit. Once the rain had stopped, Billy and I got into the truck to see [...]]]></description>

While cleaning out some files I came upon this. It is a catalog, of sorts, of my production beads I made 10 years ago. I was working in dichroic glass then. I have been toying with the idea of picking up the dichroic again and seeing what I would do with it now, but moving [...]]]></description>
