Finally - I made it to NPR!!

10 years ago

I've been interviewed by a lot of press, but I'd never been on NPR - until yesterday. The interview was done several weeks ago, but just made it to air.

It was on a program called "All Things Considered."

Happy times. :D

I finally made a martini that I like! (pic)

How pretty! I like your design too. How many of this design will you do? Thanks! I'm planning to make a set of six in different colors (so people can keep track of their glasses) for my daughter and a set for myself. I'm donating the rejects to a charity thrift shop, figuring somebody might like them. I can tell you are really having fun with your metalic paints. The funny thing is, metallic paints never appealed to me, and I have only a $5.99 set of tiny pots of them. But I do like their shimmer. Last night I made a couple using non-metallic paints, and I think I like these even better. I'll post a picture below. I used Amethyst paint and worked in a little burgundy and yellow. Metallic or not, the effect of seeing the flower at the bottom when one drinks out of the glass is nice, I think. Have you seen any of the glass painting books from Plaid? Nope. I have three books, and just snagged a fourth on eBay, but none are from Plaid. I'll have to keep an eye out. Are you using regular brushes, or have you discovered the extra soft ones especially made for glass painting? You guys are so much more advanced than I! I didn't know special brushes existed. I bought several sables and several white nylon. The martini glasses were done with the latter. So when is martini time? Ah, that one I can answer! I haven't entertained in a long time, but I'm hoping these glasses will inspire me to gather some friends together. Here's last night's effort:

Wonderful and beautiful choices, raven. The above statement, "It is great and doesn't show any dirt," reminded me of a conversation that came up in my office with a retiring nurse. She talked about having to chose tile for her kitchen redo; I mentioned the tile I had had installed recently was lovely and didn't show dirt. The nurse looked at me with absolute horror in her eyes and also looked at me as if I were a slug and said, "I don't want something that hides the dirt, I want pure white so that I can see any dirt and immediately get rid of it. I want a clean house." Talk about a discussion stopper. Not one word was said until she walked out of my office. ha ha ha.

Hey! I already heard this one. I think in the car on the way to the mall yesterday. How cool. Good thing I didn't know it was you then, or I would have driven off the road. The wiki-houses sound very interesting. Can you provide a link to the book you wrote about Sears houses?

I heard that and meant to post, verifying that was you! So funny to put an actual voice to a virtual voice. :) I'm afraid I didn't catch all you were saying about the Sears houses as I was in the thick of cooking, but you sounded nice and knowledgeable. I seem to have lost my multi-tasking abilities these days. Congratulations, Rosemary!

That's terrific, Rosemary! NPR is what I would aspire to as well (if I were aspiring). ;-)

Congrats Rosemary!

She's written and co-authored several books. I bought the one in the link for my Dad for his birthday one year. Full of pictures and informative text... we were very impressed!

Thanks very much for the comments and compliments.

I've never made much money off this writing gig, but it's been one heck of a fun ride. :) One by one, my books are going out of print. My best selling book was "The Houses That Sears Built" and when the last of those are sold off (about a year from now), it will also be gone for good.

Time for a new gig.

:)
