**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I love stained glass…I fell in love with it years ago….. I found myself sitting in fairly empty churches….. …..just me and the dust motes….. …..watching the different angles of the sun’s rays angling through the stained glass windows….. I’m not a Sunday church goer….. …..but I love hanging out…sitting in pews…and quietly watching the windows…they have so much to say….. I like the smell of old damp stone churches…or age-dried wooden ones……..

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I’m in the process of launching back into working with stained glass….. I’ve missed it…..

Between old home renovations and health-hiccups…my working with sharp shards of glass and dangerous noxious fumes…

What I’d like to point out is…Who decides that someone has collecting-foibles?….. …..what’s hoarding to one person…is someone else’s organization of precious/rare collectibles….. So…I started collecting door knockers a while ago….. …..no big deal…..there are a lot of cool ones out there…and who…

Sometimes life gives you lemons….. I just wanted to share some recent lemonade….. …..remember when I was “testing” the plant holder…..?….. …..by hanging a bag of onions from it…..?….. There was good reason for that test….. Just prior to the onion bag test….. …..on the originally placed hook….. …..I had hung a 10″ hand-blown friendship ball along with a 6″ witch’s ball….. It didn’t end well….. …..not well at all….. …..there were tears and sadness….. After that the hanger was…

So many things to write about. I hadn’t been that shaky tired for a long time.  My truck even sighed and died (temporarily) at one of the Hunts.  I had to be jumped and then get two new batteries.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My stained glass panel sold at the Silent Auction during the Ball, as well as my silly painting.  So I made a little bit of money for our Hunt. I’ve finally gotten the photos on the computer, so here…
