"Hello, my name is Finnegan and I wear a diaper and belly band because I have spina bifida which makes me unable to control my potty. My doctor says I may lose the use of my back legs someday, but what you need to know now is that I am a very happy, well-loved little dog that got a second chance at life. Please educate yourself on breeding practices and puppy mills... and try to support your local rescue organizations!"



i volunteer for midwest boston terrier rescue, the organization that took in finn, fostered him and found him a wonderful home. thanks for all you do, MWBTR!!

please ADOPT, don't SHOP!!

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...

nevermore

i'm happy to share that "nevermore" has been sold. it was the first piece i did just for fun...no pattern...no special order. it's going to someone who loves edgar allen poe, too!


3/6/10
all done and framed up...

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.
