Art Glass Pendants

Hey everyone, I’m trying to raise some money to get a new floor in my kitchen before the kids come.  And since I’ve just started learning how to fuse dichroic glass in my kiln, well… this is your shot at getting a great deal on a new piece of jewelry for yourself or a gift.  Check out the options here.

QotD: Kickoff the NFL Season

Which NFL team are you rooting for this season? Who do you think will make it to the Super Bowl?

I don't know, and I couldn't care less to be honest.  I don't like football, I never have.  And I watch it when I am forced to, but generally the ADD kicks in and I start getting really fidgety and acting like I'd rather be elsewhere... mainly because I would really like to be elsewhere.  I guess football is that major contest of the warriors that is missing in our culture since we don't feed Christians to lions, or watch the battle raging in the valley below, or have a bull fight in the city square, or a duel, or public hangings... or whatever life and death blood sport that we long for as a only slightly more evolved (appearances can be deceptive) looking people. 

Thing is, my facebook updates from people in my neighborhood are all about sports right now, which is growing really old really fast.  I went on a delete facebook friends spree lately and deleted the people I kinda semi know but wouldn't speak to if I saw them at Food Lion.  That helped. 

Ok then, that was random.

Mmm Hmmm! Preach it Brother!

I was watching this tonight with hubby in the room, he laughed at me cause I was "mmm humming" my laptop, agreeing with this guy.  Some excellent material here!  It is 19 minutes, but it went by in a flash for me, he's talking about creativity which is near and dear to my heart as an artist! 

Hmmm... kitchen makeover?

I am giving some thought to a kitchen transformation.  I painted it, but it never felt right.  I didn’t take it far enough, I didn’t touch the cabinets or the floor.  And those things need to be transformed!!!  So…

Hubby is going to be away for the weekend, I’m considering buying some paint and seeing what I can do about another transformation in the kitchen.  It would be more fun if he were here to do the back breaking parts, no doubt.  But I’m a big girl, I can do this.  Now… do I really WANT to tackle it ALONE?  THAT’s the question!!

I have it worked out in my head... I can almost see it... almost taste it... maybe even SMELL it.  It's nothing I haven't done before only not quite this boldly...  Hmmm...  The ideas, there are just SO MANY!
