We live in a tiny house.  It's adorable. But oh, it's tiny. That's why they call it a tiny house. We also have 947 cats. That's an exaggeration of course. I just love that number. But we have a lot of kitties.  More than a few, less than too many, but in a tiny house.…

It all started with Saturn. For years, before we started doing any glassblowing of our own, we had seen ornaments titled "Saturn" that were just a squished ball, usually in dark colors, with a very thick squished ring-blob around the center.

Police Box Fridge

I've turned my refrigerator into a Police Public Call Box. The doors look like the Police Box, the cap has the sign and a working light beacon, the ice/water dispenser is hiding behind the little phone door and it even makes a "whooshy" sound when the doors open!
