All things related to running a glass business.
It has been a busy few weeks. Not so much in the studio, but at my computer. I haven’t been creating with glass; I have been creating a new website with an eCommerce store. I thought I would share an overview of what I did in case others are out there wondering about doing the […]
As I write this, it is 12:30 a.m. I have been up way too late for the last six nights working on getting my redesigned website up and running. It’s still not 100% but close enough. It was definitely time for an update. Later this year I also hope to have my own store on […]
Change can be painful. My website and blog are undergoing a major overhaul. So things may look rather disheveled and down right ugly for a while. Be patient. I hope to have things working by the end of June. In the meantime I will share this picture from our recent visit to Barcelona. This beautiful […]
Anyone else remember that sequence of key presses? Back in the day, when my computer screen would freeze up, or my mouse suddenly disappeared, or any general weirdness went on, I would press this keystroke combination to reboot my computer. It wasn’t a complete shutdown just a refreshed start up. In this New Year, 2015, […]
I have been a huge fan of Google from its very first days. But today I am really aggravated. A search tool that was very powerful is now not. One of the most useful things about the Google search bar was a “More” pull down menu. From that menu you could filter search results by […]

I am writing this while my memories are still fresh. I need to record this, bookmark it, and read it before I think about signing up for another show. I have said it before, but this time I am certain. Last weekend was my last show! In the last six years I have done one […]
Occasionally I get asked about my website and blog. What do you use? How did you set it up? Today I will answer those questions. First, I must let you know that in a previous life, I was a computer programmer. Anyone remember COBOL? Ha! While I am not an expert, I have kept up […]
Do statistics really matter? What exactly are all those Google Analytics telling me? When I first started selling on line in my Etsy shop, I checked my statistics fanatically! Several times a day! Before Google Analytics, I kept a spreadsheet to see what time of day people were looking at my shop. I tried to […]
Today I was reminded once again that glass needs to be respected and handled with care. When you get comfortable handling and working with glass, you can forget just how dangerous glass can be. As I was looking through my large sheets of glass, the piece of glass in this picture came falling out crashing […]
