Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Tequila anyone?

I use to do a little but a little wouldn't do it so the little got a little bit more.

It looks like it will turn out to be a beautiful day today. The snow came to remind us how fickle mountain weather can be and that we need to appreciate the sunshine when we are graced with it.

April Fool? Taken this morning out my backdoor. Winter go away!

Hey I have a follower! Peter C. is that you? Now I guess I have to start writing witty blogs 'cause someone is actually reading them. Problem is I'm not that witty.

Close up of Barn Owl mosaic

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.-William Shakespeare

Here we have two examples of small stained glass panels. The cats were a gift for a friend and the rabbits are my daughter's pets, Mabel and Eloise. Mabel (brown) died last month but we have a lasting tribute to her in this piece.

There's a new shop on Etsy! My sister Audrey pyro etches these wonderful gourd birdhouses that she buys from a local farm in Oregon. Check out her shop!

When I twitter, I enjoy writing little poems or parts of songs that pertain to the mosaic or stone product that I am tweeting about. Songs that have the word 'rock' or 'stone in them. A poem about owls or loons or roses.

Saint Stephen with a rose, in and out of the garden he goes....The Grateful Dead. See what I mean. I know... but it makes me happy. LOL

Had a wonderful (but short) time on SI. Hate to leave but it is nice to be home. I have to get in the studio today and start working on..something. I brought home loads of scrap glass from Sue so it is waiting for me to finish sorting and putting away. Maybe all that glass and color will inspire me. Maybe.

Staten Island Sea Glass

This weekend I am Staten Island bound. I gonna try to get to one of the beaches to comb for some sea glass and other treasures. Time is limited 'cause we're only there for two full days so i'll see what I can do. Geesh, I hate that drive. Not something I'm looking forward too but it will be worth the stress.

In the past, I have tryed journaling....'nough said. So I am curious as to my own ability to keep this blog going. I vow not to be discouraged if I fail to blog daily.

Well, it's a start. I'll be back.

To Blog or Not to Blog..........

Ok, this is it. I am attempting to blog. I have no idea if I am doing this right, it's a winging it situation. I plan to upload photos of my glass work. Stuff that I have for sale on Etsy and portfolio items. So this is me winging it.
