Fun Ride to the Delta with Mom & Bill
Posted June 12, 2011

It was cold and windy over here, so we rode over to my mom's - my mom has been really wanting to ride, but her neck problems make it tough with the weight of the helmet.  She said "Let's go!" and put on her neck brace.

It was one of those moments..."we went to get cat food and came home with a new grill.."  It wasn't easy - we had to call the cavlary to find a friend with a truck to transport it home.

Slump!
Posted April 10, 2011

So I got a cool vase at a garage sale yesterday but it turned into a puddle.  DOH.  So I tried a little blue bottle I had gotten at the flea market LAST week to try again...as soon as I saw it starting I shut off the kiln but it was too late.  Ugh.  I WILL get this right one of these days...

My latest Pane
Posted March 16, 2011

I did this in "Gallery Glass" in 1983 - Gallery Glass is where you squeeze the 'leading' as latex stuff out of a bottle (tracing a pattern) onto clear glass, then you use eyedroppers to drop the 'stain' in the pools formed by the latex once it dries.  I have wanted to do this in actual stained glass ever since, so finally, I've done it!

Attitude for the Year
Posted January 21, 2011

Holiday Newsletter
Posted December 23, 2010

Greetings!  2010 has been quite a year for us.  I won’t go into lengthy details, but basically it took us until about the end of March to finish moving from the old house to the rental house (which does not look like a rental at all!).  My old house looked like the rental!  The old house sat vacant until the end of August when the short sale finally went through.  It was bad - high school kids used the back yard to party, someone broke in, it just went on and on.

One thing leads to another I guess - I got this Fuseworks Microwve Kiln - it has a little firing area big enough for jewelry pieces.  4 minutes and you have a piece.  So I got a book on wirewrapping so I could do something with these pieces I've been working on and look at this!
