Day after Mother's Day

I have to say that my Mother's Day weekend was pretty good. I got to spend lots of time playing with my new torch kit and glass. I have a slew of new beads awaiting my kiln that should be arriving today. Little G picked me a flower when he went to Grandpa's house while I was at the knit shop and then I got this cute little votive that is tissue paper glued to the glass to make it look like stained glass that he did in daycare.

We were originally going to go to the beach but decided that it probably would be too crowded. Instead we hung out here at the house and went swimming since our pool is finally warm enough to use. The only down part was yesterday evening when we went to put Little G to bed. He was really hot to the touch and turned out he was running a fever of 102. We gave him some motrin and it brought the fever down but he still had one this morning when we woke up so I stayed home today to take care of him. He's doing pretty good and his fever seems to be subsiding which is good.

Flower Power

After technical difficulties with my wireless mouse and keyboard this morning I am just now getting around to getting t his posted. It's been one of those days for the most part. Enough of that though, here are my awesome new pendants. I LOVE making these. They are very tedious getting the dried flowers in just the right place but it's fun too.

I only had one that totally didn't turn out at all with multiple issues. I wore this black one to work today.


I haven't added the bails to these other ones yet but I plan on sending the two light background flower ones to my mom and mother in law for Mother's Day.


I have a different type of pendant coming in tomorrow and one more frame style to do as well, so I foresee many more of these in my future.
