almost done, just a little clean up left to do


4/7/10

i went down to the workshop to tidy up and prep for a couple new projects...somehow, i ended up working on the morning glory panel. everything just fell into place so easily. you creative peeps will know exactly what i'm talking about; you do your best work when you AREN'T trying. i had a lot of fun tonight...even if my other projects didn't get tidied up. :p

another tinker project

i'm numb

let this serve as a reminder; if you love your stained glass, DO NOT prop it up in your window...secure it properly or it could end up like THIS.

i *wish* this was an april fool's joke...

nevermind....NEVERMORE!
okay, i won't end up keeping this one. disregard previous post!

i bought this background glass (last fall) because i thought it looked like a violent storm brewing in the sky. i had no idea what i was going to make with it, until yesterday. i did this panel organically, no pattern, just free-form. so here it is, NEVERMORE. inspired by my favorite alcoholic author, edgar allen poe.


i'll add wire feet for the raven...he'll be so cute!

speaking of cute...
here's my man, ed:

i had such a bad crush on him in high school. *sigh*

what's up?

i have two big projects underway in the workshop; a boston panel (ms angel) and another morning glory panel.

in addition to those BIG projects, i have several small projects in various stages of completion; another seamus for an ABTR donation, a tinker project (seashell), a house numbers project, jill's winning cupcake and (completed last night) a lighthouse.

i hate mediacom!

so mediacom (mediaCRAP) in their infinate wisdom, has blocked me from the number one site that i frequent, WOOF, a boston terrier forum. i went to bed last night and everything was kosher...i get up this morning and i can get into everything but WOOF. my gf kristi walked me thru some troubleshooting, when that failed, i called mediaCRAP. they said they had blocked me from the site and it would take several DAYS to fix. i'm SO pissed. UGH!!

i hate you, mediaCRAP!!

for jon and lori, two of the nicest humans you'll ever meet.

another seamus!

this seamus is being donated to nebraska boston terrier rescue. they are having a fundraising event on april 24th, and i hope he brings in a good chunk of change for them!! *crosses fingers*
