More wrapped pendants




This dichroic pendant is actually a deep purple, but in the light it reflects green.
Friday was the first day I was able to stay home the entire day. I used the time to work in the craft room and do some training with Flash. I also got on Doc for the first time in weeks. Although I am feeling better since I stopped Plavix a week ago, my hips are still too sore to feel comfortable in the saddle. Plus, as soon as I got on, my right stirrup broke. I've ordered new stirrups from crookedstirrups.com and will start some new exercises to see if I can get my old body back in shape.

Friday night Mom came over for stuffed artichokes. Dennis surprised us with a chocolate moose cake, once again sabotaging our diets. It was good, though.

Give me air, lots of air, da da da da da da da

The air conditioner went out today. Oh, no! Luckily, Dennis got it running again, but the thermostat doesn't seem to be working. Oh, well, at least the house got cool again.

New Glass Class

Today I started a six-series fused glass class at Blue Dolphin Stained Glass. Today we cut glass for a pedestal candy dish. It should be "cooked" by next week.

Later in the afternoon I accompanied Dennis and Flash to the recycling center in La Mesa. What a treat.

New Jewelry

I've been making some wrapped dichroic glass pendants. One is in copper, the rest in silver.





Garage construction

Wow...the garage construction is actually started...first, the ground prep.







No Movie Tuesday

There were only two new movies out this week: Watchers about four goofy guys who formed a neighborhood watch group and some movie about teenage dancing raves. I don't think so.

Instead, Mom and I went to WalMart and I got some paperwork done at home before we left for Flash's lesson. In the morning I watched the Olympic show jumping, the last of the 3 day eventing. I missed the dressage but I watched all of the cross country event.
