Lordy girl, 

Where you been at? ;)

I've been working SO hard...

to get ...

my GlassPie store...

OPEN for business!  

~Enter Here~

~Wonky~ Wednesday!

~GlaSs PiE~

If at first you don't succeed....

Pie...

Pie....

 

Again!!!

~Wonky Wednesday~

Fun Foodie Follies!

Wonky Popcorn...

It's a little afro-dizzy-ack.

Wonky Lemonade...

Pokey-dotted ice cubes, anyone?

Wonky Icecream Sundae...
leaky base?



hmmm....

  DO WE HAVE ANY CHOCOLATE SYRUP
 IN THE HOUSE?

Wonky Wednesday

Trying to make a white dove...

A funny thing happened...

It's a bit of a gull shape, isn't it?

Mine?

Wonky Wednesday

     

 A sheepish bead...

That seems a little odd...

I just can't put my finger on it...

So what do you think?

What does Sheep-y Bead need?
	a fluffy white noggin top...
	a longer nose...
	less googly eyes...
	all of the above...
	none of the above...
	to be put out of his misery...

~Wonky~ Wednesday!

Learning process = wonkiness! 

Laugh with me on Wonky Wednesdays!

(not at me...well.... I guess that's allowed too.)

I have a designated jar for all of my beads-gone-wrong,

and

it's filling up fast!

The beads with eyes are my favorite! 

They tickle me...

But I must say I feel kinda sorry for this little guy... 

He was my second attempt at a frog...

He looks a little..... melty.

(AAH, I'm melting, MELTING!  What a world, what-a-world!)

(sorry...Wizard of OZ popped in my head.)

My first attempt was actually a lot better...

However, his wittle toes popped off.

I was warned about that from my teacher. 

Hmmm, lesson learned. 

Y'all quit makin' fun of melty!

Coming Soon!

Introducing:

Coming soon to an ETSY near you!  ;)

(sorry it took so long...)

(this is hard.)

(But I love it!) 

;)

(and I love you, too!)

INTRODUCING

wait for it....

?????

:)

Watcha BEAD Doin'?

It's official.

I'm all setup.

My Studio:

Some Beads...

The only problem....

(so far.)

My glasses.

Ooh la lah.

They are a necessity, otherwise I would never put something so hideous on my face!

I'm so vain.

However,  I have a weird bean-shaped head. 

Just ask my husband.

Due to a number of factors, 

they're plastic and only minutely adjustable...

they're heavy as all-get-out...

my ears are apparently too close to my eyes...

these stupid things did not fit my face. 

And

holding one's glasses 

to one's face 

is not very safe while playing with molten glass...

So I tried to improvise.

I tried taking the sides off and adding an elastic band...

like goggles!

Uh. yes.

But I don't sew very well.

Nobody show my Bmama, 

she'll disown me for sure!

(if you think that's bad you should see me sew on a button!

knotty!)

Yikes!

I can make this sweet chili pepper bead out of glass, 

but I can't sew for anything. 

NO patience for a needle and thread.

Ah well.  

It didn't work any way.

It pushed the "safety" part of my glasses into my face.

And.

It mussed up my hair. 

See?

So, desperate as I was...

I went to an eye glasses place.

What's that called?

Anyway. 

They basically laughed at me.

It was probably the way I said

dydimioum

dydimiunm

dyodyiminm

dydimium when I told them what kind of lenses they were.

 NO HELP THERE.

However.... I improvised again.  

If I can make a dang gingerbread birdcage...

I can make something that will work!

and so I did.

I went to CVS and bought a $10.99 pair of sunglasses,

popped the lenses out,

and glued my special lenses in.

Light as a feather and they stay on!

Don't Postpone Joy!

A new Flame...

This past weekend,

I finally did something that I've wanted to do

for

so Long!

I took a glass beadmaking class.

or a

Lampwork bead class.

hmm.

not really sure of what the technical name is.

Anyway.

It's hot!

YAY!

It's so neat!

I didn't even get burned...

but I think I'm hooked!

These are my first beauties...

Not so good, but fun!

Getting Better!!    

Now you're talking!

One last shot.

I'm a proud mama of my little beadies!
