!!!! I MADE A CARD!!!!

 Hallo,
   Well I haven't made a card now since before Christmas ..... This one was a quick and easy one because I had the little robot panel made up from a long ago ATC kick. I found the scrabble letters in a secret (even to me) stash that I found while packing boxes for our up coming house reno......
   Valentines card for my Hubby of coarse.
    The little robot is from 'My Favorite things' but not sure if its still current.
   All for today - off to my studio to paint for awhile today and then some house  cleaning and maybe some yard work .....

Locker hook rug with yarn

 Hallo,
   I had a bunch of thick yard left from several projects and decided to use them up by doing a locker hook rug.
  The yarn rugs go quickly and are really soft but they do take alot of yarn.

Missin my kitties

Hallo,
  Short post this am as my heart is hurting . Had to say goodbye to both my kitties this week - both had been sick for awhile......
   Shadow is the gray one - we found out in August last year that he had a very large tumor growing in his mouth and several more starting down his neck. He got to the point this week that he couldnt swallow well anymore....
   The black one is Smitty and he has been loosing weight and having alot of trouble keeping food down as well as almost total loss of bowel , and in the last few days bladder control too. Poor thing was just a skinny bag of bones.
    Very hard to say goodbye but didnt want them to suffer either. The last 2 cats I had I have to admit that I held onto too long and didnt want to do that again.....
    All for today.....
       Tera

First mosiac glass project - lantern

Front of lantern
Hallo,
  Well I guess I have a new hobby - I should know better by now to take a cool class in something I have never done before(because I usually end up with another hobby to add to the many I already have). I took this mosaic glass class just to make one lantern......now I have all the tools, a large stash of pretty glass and 6 lanterns.......sigh....
  But look how pretty it is, not bad for a first try I think.
  This lantern has removable glass panels so we traced where the edge is and then pieced our glass. Added resin, let dry and put the panes back in. This lantern has an electric candle already in it which gives off a yellow glow but when I took pictures it didnt have batteries yet so I used some regular fairy lights. It looks so much better in real life.
  Whole bunch of pics of the process along the way....
 Off to work for the day.....
   Take Care
