These are a few beads that I have made, and that Kitty there is my big boy Stripes, he is only 9 months old and has the bigest paws that I have ever seen. When I am working on my torch he trys to sit behind me on my chair in between my back and the back of the chair. LOL and anyone who has cats would know that they like to knead where ever their going to lay down so usually I get a back rub from him while I am torching. Thank goodness he doesn't use his claws now if I could teach him to rub my shoulders, he would be perfect. LOL

I have been working on Lampwork beads this week. I have been checking out all the blogs on the One World one Heart blog this has been really neat to see other peoples blog. I know that mine is a work in progress but I will figure it out. Work has been slow, and I miss working as much as we were, I hope that everything starts getting better for everyone. I work for a wonderful place and it is more like family than work, so I hate for it to get slow there.

I sure wish I could thank my Grandmother and Mother for teaching me how to can food and how to live on a tight buget, and my Grandfather for teaching me how to garden. I had an okay garden last year, but this year I am planning on a better garden, my dear husband has hauled in a load of manure and tilled it in, one of our friends gave us a truckload and said to come back and get more. Last year the deer ate all of my greenbeans, cucumbers, watermelon, and cantaloupe before they got really started good. I have to figure out how to keep them out of it this year.

I just listed 24 listings of lampwork beads marked down 30% off on ebay today, so I will see how they do saturday. If everyone doesn't know it ebay is offering a 50% off on their 1 and 3 day listings until the end of jan.
well got to go,
everyone take care,
Sandra

Hi, Everyone I am new to blogging so it will take a little bit for me to get the hang of this, I have several hobbys, I make Lampwork beads, Jewelry, wire wrap, paint, crochet, quilt. You name it I have tried it. I really enjoy lampworking though and I am learning a lot of new things to do with glass. I have a wonderful husband and 2 terrific sons. I will post some photos as soon as I figure out how to do it. LOL
