House of the Moon

The sky doesn’t know what it wants today! Quick glass porn post before Derek wakes! I hope to be putting a lot of things on Etsy this week  while I wait for a part to arrive for my poor kiln!

Are you lucky, huh? I am unwinding from the day, Derek is asleep. While I was feeding him lunch the doorbell rang, and it was the postman holding my envelope with Holistic Moms flyers…with no stamps on it! Der! He didn’t even tell me what was wrong, I saw it immediately and scuttled off to [...]

Time is flying, summer is almost over, today it feels like it already is! Derek is asleep in flannel pants, and I am jealous. But I got some metalsmithing done, sent out some flyers to my pediatrician about the new Holistic Moms group, Portland Branch, that I have helped cofound with a friend. Our first [...]

The busy Mondays! Groceries, gotta go back to a store to return some things, drug store, gotta make beads for a customer (and if I run out of one type of glass in the process, gotta go get one more rod of it in Portland, tomorrow (my I do love living within 15 miles or [...]

It’s supposed to get very warm today, and I have done all my “hot” tasks already, before 1 pm! I made a bunch of strawberry jam today, using the pressure canner, from a flat of berries I bought at a farm a few miles away.  There are still plenty of berries left for ice cream, [...]

DLJ is making another day-long trip to Bend, so he won’t be in chat to say hi a lot throughout the day. Last night was our last birth class, and it was really fun, we had a potluck, and the guys surprised the girls with a foot massage in water. DLJ brought lots of rose [...]

If the calendar says the massage appt. is at 1:30, don’t go at 11:30 and sit around waiting. I got to read up on my magazines for a about 15 min till I realized my mistake…I will go back in an hour to get my massage at the correct time. Tomorrow I am meeting up [...]

I know, I have been. I have been busy. Mom came to visit, in-laws arrived the day before she left… Things have been hectic but should slow down now.  It’s very warm today, a nice day to be not doing much of anything. DLJ took the day off to say goodbye to his parents, now [...]

The phone rang really early this morning, and we didn’t get back to sleep until after DLJ’s alarm went off. So we slept after that.:P He’s eating breakfast and it is nice to have him around a little later than usual. By the time the garbage truck comes around, he is usually gone. Another busy [...]

I just cleaned the dishes, emptied the dishwasher, started to refill it, scrubbed the counters down and fed Anais. If I have time later today I will mop the floor in there. Hopefully I will also sort the recycling and clean off the dining room table. My roof now is covered in plywood and tar [...]
