While I was visiting Tacoma this month, I had the opportunity to spend some time at Tacoma Glass Gallery & Fusing Studio, and I’m so glad I did. I always enjoy visiting glass studios when I travel, and this one immediately caught my attention. The building itself is hard to […]
This month I had a work trip to the Seattle area, and I took the opportunity to visit the Museum of Glass in Tacoma. Opened in 2002, the museum was created to celebrate glass as a contemporary art form, and it sits beautifully along the waterfront with its iconic cone-shaped […]
November has been an incredibly busy month for me. One of the unique perks of my job is the opportunity to travel, and this month I found myself hopping from Alaska to Hawaii—all within just three weeks! First up was Alaska, and if you’ve never visited this time of year, […]
I never get enough time with my best friend, Lela. It feels like forever since our last girls’ trip — our wonderful adventure to Fredericksburg, Texas, with our dear friend Iris. This time, it was just the two of us, off on a weekend filled with laughter, history, and a […]
This blog is a bit out of my norm, it’s about my new truck. Hopefully you won’t mind. After twelve wonderful years with my quirky 2013 Juke, I finally decided it was time for something new. That little car had personality—it wasn’t exactly quick off the line (I always joked […]
This month kept me busy with three TDY (business) trips—two to Virginia and one to Maryland. When able I try to find a little time for fun and inspiration during these trips, and on one of them, I stumbled across a wonderful local fused glass shop “Happy Hour Glass Works“. […]
In March, I had the opportunity to visit Suffolk, Virginia for work—and one of the highlights of my trip was touring the incredible USS Wisconsin. What a fabulous ship! You might not know this, but the Wisconsin proudly served in three wars: World War II, the Korean War, and even […]
So I spent the entire month of August in Korea, I worked a lot so I didn’t do much. I do love my hotel though. I also went to the chiropractor, pedicure, and massage. Self care is so very important. I must tell you the chiropractor did a fabulous job. […]
I went to Korea again this month for work. I was pretty busy with work, so I didn’t get to do any site-seeing this time. We always stay at the same hotel, and they are just so nice and look at the spread for breakfast. Here are a few pictures […]
I mentioned I took a new job in July and this month I took my first trip to Korea in years. It was a work trip, so I didn’t have a lot of time to sightsee, but I did get to shop a bit. Below are some pictures of my […]
As I have mentioned before in my posts, I have a job that allows me to travel and when I travel for work I try to do something for me as well. Last month was a busy month for me not only did I go to Paris I also got […]
Last week I was able to travel to Washington DC for work. I love to travel whether for personal reasons or for work. I didn’t have a lot of free time, but I did take the time to see Mount Vernon and of course some of the monuments. I’ve been […]
In my DYK (below) I wrote about my trip to Ottawa Canada this month. When I travel (for work or pleasure) I try to see something that’s glass related. When I asked my fused glass Facebook group they told me to visit Glass eMotions studio outside of Ottawa. The picture […]
I have a bad habit of not finishing my fused glass jewelry pieces. Specifically not putting the findings on the glass. So while I was TDY to Rhode Island I took some findings and glass cabochons with me. I made some fused glass bookmarks, fused […]
