Wretched Class and Too Much Glass
Spent the day in class learning how to create web sites in Dreamweaver. Taught by a very nice, very knowledgeable man who ought to have taught an advanced class, not one for newbies. Way to long, way to in depth for complex ideas that were interesting but beyond the scope of the class. The 12 hour course is half over and we only got through chapter 1 of 7!
And when I got home, this is what awaited me: too much undone stuff.
I'm for a quick cup of tea and some bad TV.
Hearts To Go
I'm busy gearing up for the new show this weekend in Malvern, PA. We've never been to this show before so I don't know what to expect.
Di has most of the stock up at her place in Pennsylvania, so I'm just puttering around making a couple of new patterns and some hearts.
Last year before Wine in the Woods, a Maryland show, I got heartily sick of making Tumbling Block panels, so I cut up scrap into wacky, freehand hearts. They sold very well. In fact , we sold enough to cover the booth fees and travelling expenses. So since then, before every show, I check out my glass scrap stash and get to work.
I'm sure someday I'll get sick of these too, but so far, so good!

Daily Chicken Grind
Ah, sigh. I went to feed the girls today and found 40 eggs. That's right, 3 and a half dozen. Now I should point out that my household is very small. I do have friends and family around, but even with their help, I have a lot of eggs each day. On weekends, if I've been lazy, the eggs stay in the nest for a day and poof, come Monday , 40 eggs await.

Rooting Around in the Attic of my Computer
I love computers. But I don't understand them. Someday I'll understand how I managed to delete my trashcan. Since I deleted the trash can, I could not empty it. I filled my entire hard drive . The nice people at the repair shop couldn't fix it either, so they copied my old data into the new computer .
I've been slowly going through the old files, getting rid of junk and generally digitally housecleaning. And so I ran across these. I made these 5 small sun catchers/ ornaments for a wedding. My then 11 year old daughter was the junior bridesmaid at a Wiccan inspired event. The bride had a beautiful butterfly ornament that represented Air to her. She asked if I would make complementary ornaments representing Water, Fire and Earth as well as 2 more in keeping with the occasion for the flower girls. She planned to have the bridesmaids carry these instead of bouquets. I'm particularly pleased with the star and the heart flower, representing Day and Night.
The wedding was beautiful.
I wonder what else I have in those old files...
