Crummy – but working on it …
Had a first for my little rural county last night … 2 back-to-back SANE calls from unrelated assaults. Our program provides treatment for rape victims 13 yrs old/older. Both of my patients met criteria, but barely … OMG! What is going on with my community!?! This will require major therapy (shopping) for me … and I’ve …
New projects unveiled …
So – here it is … I can take your digital photo and turn it into glass jewelry … IN COLOR! Here’s what I did for a friend – a badge reel and magnet of her baby, Miss Molly! And here are some badge reels that I was playing around with as prototypes: There …
Moving Right Along …
A good, productive day. Plan C looks to be working – should be able to share some photos soon. Got most of the work competencies done [heavy sigh]. And, I’m getting pretty good at this wire-wrapping stuff, if I do say so myself … You know you’re married to an alright guy when: (Forget feminine …

She’s back! And with a new 1 inch coarse grit bit – we’re moving through glass like a hot knife through butter! …
Arrrrgh … Houston!

Dichro/Ornament Central
So … it’s been a good week! I’ve been a busy little elf … prepping and cooking glass. FINALLY finished up some dichro cabs … ready for badge reels and photography. I’m also playing with some permanent-fuse decals that I’ve had for a while now. I like ‘em. And, I have the next batch of …
