The store I stopped at had about six different colors which made it extremely difficult to decide what to mosaic my mermaid with. First I picked out a green with red streaks running through it. But my mermaid has sea shells on her top and I wanted something different for that. Then i found the perfect glass...it is bubblegum pink, with teal, blue, and green swirls. So i picked up a piece and changed my mind on the green...had to be more teal in color. The next section had the teal with blue and green swirls....perfect for the body and tail of the mermaid. I bought four pieces of that color. I noticed the price was a bit more than the other glass they have, but I didn't mind! Was excatly what I had in my head when I bought the statue. Now just need to get started.

Thanks for the heads up. We just got a Hob Lob in my town and I am so excited! Floridians be on alert, they seem to be moving down the state! The first one was in north Jacksonville; now they just opened several in the panhandle, in St. Augustine, and Ocala.

I've been studying the different grinders this weekend. Delphi has a nice comparison chart on all the grinders. It looks to me like Diamond Tech has a longer warranty and more powerful motor than the others. I have a second hand Inland Wizling which is fine, I've just been looking into my crystal ball for the future. I do remember that Slow has a Diamond Tech but not sure which model.

I love Hobby Lobby and shop there often.. Great sales and I love that they take a stand on closing on Sunday. Business owners should be able to run their businesses as they wish. I don't have to shop there if I don't agree. It's like watching tv, if I don't care for what's on I change the channel!! We live in a free country!!
