June 2014

Closed my shop at Frederick Rd. and St. Johns Lane in December 2013. I really miss all the wonderful customers and relationships! I'm looking for another shop. It;s difficult to find something with under 800 sq.ft. I'm being positive and believe something will come up sooner than later. For now I have a new website:. If you want a custom stained glass item or jewelry contact me through my website and I'll get back to you ASAP.
These are some items I've made for customers:

I feel young again

Yesterday My daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter came for a surprise visit. They live 1 hour and 15 min. away. It's difficult being far away, but we manage. My granddaughter is 13 months old going on 2 years. She has so much love, curiosity, life and energy! We went out to eat and went to a playground. She absolutely loved it. She was waving hello to everyone and wanted to be like all the other children running around. They were much older than her, but that didn't stop her. She's wonderful! She listened to whatever her parents told her to do because she wanted to be there. I felt young again. Reminded me of when I used to have fun with my kids.

Curves

One of my kitties has had a skin problem since November. The vet originally diagnosed it as cysts. Two weeks ago one of the cysts started looking pretty angry. Yesterday. I took her to the vet and she has them all over the place. She had a lump in her mammary gland. That is what's worrying me. He thinks it may be cancer. I already had to put one of my kitties to sleep because of intestinal cancer. I'm not prepared for this. She is the sweetest and only 13 1/2 years old. The biopsy results will be ready Thursday. We're praying that it's something else and not cancer. Life throws curves when you least expect them.

Winner!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day! My husband and I went to visit my daughter and son-in-law. He made corned beef and cabbage. He's a great cook! They had a daughter, Natalya, a year ago and made me a grandmother. I never knew there would be so much joy. She is wonderful. My husband, Nick and I are in love with her. I stray.
The winner is #916 - Wishing Well. Congratulations!
I've enjoyed the carpet ride around the world, very exciting!
Very talented ladies.
