Most Excellent Indeed....

...Woot! How fun. Lisa Atchison and I

had our first weekend of torching and

lapidary play this weekend.
This is my first attempt and is not

finished. I will add detail to this one

and be sure and post the finished bead.

NOW....go over there ------>

and scroll down and see Lisa's

on her blog. They are so over the

top, but who would expect less

from my Lisa ;-D

Sweet 16

My precious girl turned 16 yesterday.

We had banana chips, treats,

naps with Momma, lots of hugs

and kisses and belly scratches.

This little girl is a special angel

straight from above.

Happy Birthday, my Sha ;-D

For Carrie

Carrie...your thoughts?

I've officially gone daft!

Sorry, I just can't get over the

lilies this year. Sooooo....here's

some pics of my lilies in the rain!

Oh for Pete's sake all ready! ;-D

Shells for Mary

Take your pick, darlin' ;-D

Miss Cellaneous ;-D

Just some wacky stuff.

Annie's eyeball

Triple lily bloomed today

My dog is lazy

Is this Haiku?

Bless you ;-D

Ohhh....my little pretties ;-DDDD

Can't stand it. I've gotta' share my

beautiful lilies with ya'all. Each more

breath taking than the last. I just love them!

Let's just make this as difficult as we can...yantoo?

As if photographing glass isn't

challenging enough...lets throw

some engraving on the back and

see if we can't pull our hair out

all together!

I've been messing with engraving

and will show you my first piece,

that's kind of icky...but a start and

then a special piece I was honored

to do last night.

Icky flower:

This special piece goes to a good

neighbor that is being baptized on

Sunday, July 4. The cross has a slight

flare to indicate his Native American

heritage and the nails in the cross

are obvious, but also stands for the

three of them in their family binded

by faith. The clear heart bail is for the

purity of love he has found. I'm honored

to be asked to make this special piece ;-D.
