Marbling with Marla

As a gift Marla gave me a marbling class. And I LOVED it. I have always been curious about marbling. Sure, I could go get a YouTube degree, but learning how to do it in-person is always preferable and waaay more satisfying.

Open Craft Night: Apothecary Bottles

Was feeling lonely, so I sent out an open invitation to anyone who wanted to come over and make some Halloween apothecary bottles with me. I had been saving up supplies for over a year. (Four signed up, and two cancelled—story of my life, I am not a popular person, but I keep trying anyway.) 

The idea came from Magia Mia's site.

The bummer situation is that I still have a ton of supplies left. I'm not sure what to do with them. I can't just drop off a bunch of empty pill bottles at the second-hand art supply store....

Adam's 44th

For Adam's 44th birthday we decided to hang out at the Airbnb for swimming and cake and invite a few people. But no one responded, except one, to communicate unavailability.

So, we spent the evening just us two, swimming and playing games then later invited anyone available from his family—who all live down the street—to help us eat his cake. Glad a few showed up.

Summer California 2025

Here is a lame video of our Summer in California 2025. Not much to share evidently—there aren't even enough photos to tell a proper visual story. Were Dwynne and Natalie and entourage even in attendance??! My bad.
