Here are the updates from the Evelyn front: This week hasn’t been comfortable for her. She made a trip to Dr. B’s for a stern pep-talk on Tuesday. The doctor prescribed no tube feeding for 48hrs, then feed for one session and pull the tube Friday. Dave & I stopped by for a visit onContinue reading “Mom’s Heart: Nov 29”

Positive and Fun!
I’m attempting to finish a project for an image deadline next week. The Beet Gallery in Portland has two call to artists due December 1st. I’m going for their February show. More wire, pig gut and a lot of humor! Friends and family have requested images to be blogged, but I don’t think they wouldContinue reading “Positive and Fun!”
Ornaments Anyone?
Yesterday I finished attaching string & labels to over 200 ceramic snowflake ornaments created in the last 2 weeks. Now all I have to do is find homes for them! They are already available at The Arts Center in Corvallis. Maybe this is my opportunity to try Etsy. There are two other venues of interestContinue reading “Ornaments Anyone?”
Mom’s Heart: Nov 17th
Yet another feeding tube blockage. It happened last night. Lee took her in to Urgent care at 7:30am. Spent lots of time there until they were able to unblock the crusties. Then she was off to Dr. Cook’s office. He didn’t have too much to say. Prescribed more diuretics and said her rapid heart rateContinue reading “Mom’s Heart: Nov 17th”
Ceramics Workshop: Ginger Steele
On October 31, I was invited to attend a workshop given by ceramic artist Ginger Steele. She produces beautifully decorated hand-built pottery. Her business is Insomnia Pottery. Here are some images from the workshop: Ginger measuring out her rolled slab. She uses quilting squares for measuring. Next she bevels the top edge and sides. ThisContinue reading “Ceramics Workshop: Ginger Steele”
Reliquary Project: Inspiration
Back at the beginning of October, the write-up for exhibit bid book was due. Hummm, I didn’t make that date. Hester kindly reminded us slackers on Oct16 that they were due by the 19th. So where did my inspiration come from? Let me pass along what I wrote: Back in late July of this year,Continue reading “Reliquary Project: Inspiration”

Puree of BBQ Pork anyone? The rehab facility must not have received the word about Evelyn’s food preferences. She tries to be vegetarian as much as possible. For lunch they sent over pureed BBQ pork, pureed carrots and something else non vegetarian. Kim told her to “eat her carrots” because that would probably be itContinue reading “Mom’s Heart: Nov 12”
Mom’s Heart: Nov 11th.
Breaking news from Dr. Tran’s office! She doesn’t seem to have any problems in her throat! This morning she went in for a “scoping” of her throat. Not certain how far down he went, but certainly far enough! Dr. Tran saw no evidence of any swelling, redness, irritation or negative problem. He was planning onContinue reading “Mom’s Heart: Nov 11th.”
Reliquary Project: Finished??
Here are some final images with window coverings in place. Lighting and battery pack will be installed tonight. Tomorrow it’s off to the Arts Center where I hope it will sell!
Mom’s Heart: Nov 4th
After all she went through yesterday, Evelyn’s energy levels were not diminished. She had a 1pm appointment w/ Dr Ameen. Lee said most of what they talked about he didn’t understand until it came to her lungs and extra fluid. Apparently her body has not been moving the extra fluid out of her lungs quicklyContinue reading “Mom’s Heart: Nov 4th”
