Friends

Just feel like I need to say something.  A friend stood up for another on LE and got blasted.  Well they both did. In all my dealings with both they have been nothing but kind and honest.  I'm adding a third to this list---she was taking up for the first two. LOL got to love it-the LE tag line is "a friendly place to bring together glass and jewelry artist."

I stopped posting on LE months ago after another situation.  I have watched one person after another get torn to small bits. There is so much talent but it gets lost in the bloodshed.  At this point I hesitate to suggest it as a site for newcomers to glass.  If I do, I warn them it can get a bit heated and not to take it to heart.  

 I must admit growing up if I had talked to anyone they way they have I wouldn't have sat down for weeks.  As an adult I still believe that not everyone has to agree with me and that doesn't make them bad.  Also good people make mistakes, they should not be flamed for it. You can disagree and still show consideration and respect.

OK stepping off the soap box now

Quiet weekend

Spent most of the weekend making cookies.  did some glass. mostly played around with some new colors and tubing.

A dear friend gave me an "inside-out" tutorial so I'm starting to play with tubing a little to get ready to try the tutorial.  I've put off tubing because it intimidates me.  So this is good ...it makes me try something new.  

Short work week so I should get to play with glass a little more this week :)

Denver Trip

Headed to Denver today (took off early from work :) ).  Got to hit Penzy's http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/shophome.html

Love their stuff.  It make it so easy to cook even my husband can do it.

Then spent some time at GlassCraft http://www.glasscraftinc.com/  and of course bought glass. Never enough glass ;)

We then went to dinner with some of the glass folks from the club up in Denver.   Went to a Moroccan restaurant, had a good time and too much good food. http://www.mataamfez-denver.com/

thoughts on Boro thread...

Well a little over a year ago We (I ) started a boro thread on WetCanvas! http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7415167#post7415167

It seems to have run its course.  With the economy and everyone selling tutorials it is about impossible to get people to donate tutorials. With a full-time job I don't have the time to chase people down.  Dawn and tried for a while but it was nuts.  We are also seeing fewer people posting for a variety of reasons.

sooooo I think I'm going to leave it alone and let it quietly die out and put my energy elsewhere. It had a good run and I met some great people. I will put more time in as a WC! Guide and back off on the glass area.

BRRRRR

Well it is 5 degrees F or -15C with 20 MPH wind.  

Michelle, thanks for your comments.  We love the way the kitchen is turning out.  The views yesterday were incredible.  Hubby and I keep looking at each other and say "We live here!"

Day 3 .....

Yell  If I ever talk about moving again...someone slap me...please.

I finally was helping the movers and we packed until 8pm tonight.  Haven't heard anything from the trucking company ( have a message in)  I sure hope everyone shows.  We MUST be out of the house tomorrow so we can leave Friday morning and hopefully the new owner will be able to move in on Friday.  And pretty sure we are overweight on our shipment.

Tomorrow should be interesting...not quite sure how we are going to get everything done or even if we have a moving truck.  If the truck doesn't show our stuff will go to a local warehouse to be picked up.

We still haven't closed on this house in Texas.  An hour before closing the lender decided that the buyer's wife had to sign (org signature required).  One problem....she is in North Carolina.

One the house in Colorado the lender suddenly decided the needed a well test after saying they had everything needed for the last 4 days.
