Small world with glass

So I went and played with the new stainglass books that I picked up a few weeks ago from a great after x-mas mark down of 50% off - I found this one project that I had to try - but to try it I had to search the area to find 2 things that I needed to make the stain glass women candle holders. So I started at AC Moore and found the 2 things I needed but thought I have to be able to find these else where - well elsewhere has yet to be found. the votive candle holders are only 44 cents at AC Moore a great deal maybe they will let me by a case of them with their 40% off coupon. And the rings will they are the only place so far who has them - I have a few more places to check out to see if I can find silver plated rings. The first run of these turned out to be easier than I thought they might be, other than touching the hot metal that wrapped them a little bit before I should have - gloves are the trick and the metal curler to make it fit. I will see how long they take to make after this first pair and see if hoopla might want them... I need to go by there and pick some things up... I will post a picture of the candle holders when I finish the pair. So I might have a new little project to work on...That is till the PMC silver clay class happens and then I might really get into trouble.

Wednesday the painter was supposed to show and did not again, that is after I spent the morning taping down shower curtains and such all over my room before I headed out for substitute training... The training was fine, filled with paper work and small world connections. I had the one guy sitting on the row with me end up as the 2nd of 5 kids also... then we had to have ourselves introduced by the person next to us and say something - so I used the good old HGTV gig - so after lunch I had this guy come up to me and hand me a card and say , my wife does glass too you should contact her - I look at the name on the card and I know Patti - I know your wife - I work up at the studio with Madeline - so its just a small world. I get to go up there today to be finger printed and to check and see if the painter did show. Cause they said that I could be in the system and start working next week - now that could be a busy week since I also start teaching swim lessons then - and the list of the days for the lessons keeps getting longer. It went from none, to Mon & Wed and now add Th and Sat to the mix - I am going to be water logged by the end of the WSI class. Back into the work force I jump...dive and just hope that I will float to the top again.
