WOW!! It let me back in!
I've been locked out of my blog for a couple of months. I tried every password I knew and couldn't get in!! It's nice to be back.
So.... well, my recovery has been going slowly and very painfully. I've been plauged with mysterious pains in my shin that have been moving around on me. I start Physical Therapy next week, so maybe with some sort of exercise, things will move quicker and maybe it will help with the pain. (But I'm thinking that it'll just make it worse - dreading it actually)
Anyway, enough with that - seems all I do is complain about that....
I had my birthday a few days back - UGH. I did resolve to try and do one thing new each day for the next 33 days (my new age :P). I've done okay so far! The eve of my birthday, I brought in my birthday on the torch making star murrini. I've never torched on my birthday OR made ANY murrini before. (Well, I tried to make a star before, but it was a pathetic attempt with only 4 points. This time I did a 5 pointed star and, despite my doubts, it came out almost perfectly and I was just thrilled!
For the next couple of hours or so, I made some large, egg shaped "night sky" beads with silver, a moon, and my star murrini. I like them, but my idea where they should go from here has changed and I can't wait to get back to the torch and experiment more.
Also, my best friend, Sheila Morley inspired me with the butterfly murrini she made in a recent Loren Stump class. It's GORGEOUS! A picture of it is to the right. I'm sure she won't mind me posting the picture since she complains her camera doesn't photograph right. Hope I did it justice. I am working on some SUPER beginner murrini things. It'll be interesting how this comes out - probably very laughable stuff :)
My husband bought me the "Creation Station" for my birthday and I am eagerly awaiting its arrival. I also got a nice sum of money to spend on glass and supplies from my father and a Caribou coffee card from my brother so I can stay up all night playing with my new glass and tools!! LOL.
My daughter was over the moon about my birthday. It's so adorable when they're little and still think your birthday is just as big a deal as their own. I was the "Queen for today"! She was so sweet. She bought me a card with coupons that she couldn't WAIT for me to chash in and she even made her own wrapping paper for my present with a picture of she and I holding hands in a field of flowers. Makes your heart melt, I'll tell ya.
She was supposed to have her first Kindergarten field trip today, but (of course) today was horribly stormy (the ONLY bad day out of the whole week, mind you), and while they left to go on the trip, they turned around less than halfway there because it was lightning. I don't blame them, it just sucks that all the kids were so excited to go to the orchard and they got jipped. Oh well, next time.
Well, have to be on my way to go and pick her up so I'll post the pictures when I get home. Sorry to be in such a rush.....
