While I was visiting Tacoma last month, I went back to the Tacoma Glass Gallery & Fusing Studio. I had been there for my resin class, but there was so much beautiful glass to see that I wanted to spend some time simply wandering through the gallery. And when I […]
While I was visiting Tacoma last month, I stayed at Hotel Murano, and for a glass lover like me, it was the perfect place to stay! The hotel celebrates Tacoma’s incredible connection to glass art, and you start seeing it before you even get through the front door. I was […]
It’s been a busy month for me—I had another business trip, this time to Hawaii. Unfortunately, it was pretty rainy, so I didn’t get a chance to do too many fun things outside of work. That said, I did have a beautiful view, and I was right across from a […]
While I was in Washington I went to Seattle and I finally had the chance to visit Chihuly Garden and Glass, located right next to the iconic Space Needle. As a glass artist, this was something I had been looking forward to for a long time. Dale Chihuly’s blown glass […]
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 […]
