Monday Musings: talents
Wow! January flew by. I’m glad though. January is usually a stressful month. Goal-wise things went very well. Stretching and karate are becoming good habits.

Monday Musings: Candelight & Spreadsheets
Couple of pretty cool things happened last week that made me smile… Thing the first… Last week as part of our holiday countdown we had a candle light dinner as a family. The first one. The food (was not fancy) but it seemed to me the talk was freer and less hurried. Don’t get me [...]

Work-table Wednesday: Ornaments
Been meaning to make this polymer clay ornament for a while (inspired by this link) but was feeling too cheap to buy clear glass ornaments to cover. So when Cindy of Polymer Clay Tutor posted her video about removing the clear coating on said ornaments I wondered if it would remove the paint of the [...]

Monday Musings
Karate: learned (in the process of teaching) a new take on a very dull bo kata. Bo ichi. Its a preparatory kata. Not even considered “real” and so usually not enjoyed.
